• 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.

    in my case; clamping the vacumn hose to enrich the flow of fuel may well bandaid the rough running.. it by no means is a fix.. i hope BRP are expediting the issues so we can get back to worry free riding.

    licence plate light reflector mod MM - wanting to look at this has been on my list as well; i was hoping to just drill out a hole, play with a reflector/lens and let the light shine thru; guess this is not doable after reading an earlier thread i'd be interested in LED's to replace the refector
