• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    2023 rumors - anyone heard anything about the 2023 release?

    I was at my local dealer in Red Deer AB Canada a few days ago getting a faulty rear brake light switch replaced and noticed they had several Sea-to-Sky, RTL, RT, Ryker units on the showroom floor, which surprised me. When I asked the sales person if all the units were spoken for he said no they...

    Brake Lights Staying on after ignition turned off?

    I had a look at the brake light switch and watched it as I pushed the brake petal, you can see the plunger on the switch being pulled out, which activates the brake light. As I release the brake pedal the plunger on the switch is very slow to retract or does not retract at all some times back...

    Any suggestions on USB ports for driver and pass heating?

    Going to use a 5' Ring terminal cable to Mono plug to go from the battery to under the riders seat. Then a 2' cable extension for the passenger heated gear or a SAE connector for the battery tender.

    Well some good new I suppose, just came from my dealer and they received the 2022 RTL on Monday but of course missing parts, so the agonizing wait continues, :gaah: Seems to be no average time for arriving missing parts, from what I have read in other posts 2 weeks up to 2 months?

    Any ideas to Remove paint overspray from tupperware??

    About 30 years ago someone told me about using Kerosene with a soft cloth, have used it ever since to get tar, oil, tree sap and paint over spray off. Rinse off with a good car wash soap and water, has worked for me. You can pick it up at any hardware or camping store.

    So, what do y'all consider "touring"?

    For us its packing up the bike and heading out on the road for 2 to 3 weeks to where ever you want to go. Stopping at a place we want to explore or a small rally to see friends in the US or Canada for 2 to 3 days where we can wash some cloths and head out again..... Randy

    Do you think dealerships should offer some compensation/discounts ??

    Sorry but for me this is a very sensitive subject being I work as a manager in a retail store and hear this same mentality at least 10 times a day, "I want a discount" for delays out of the businesses control. How in anyway is it the dealers fault when supply constraints are happening in every...
