• 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.

    Does the Steering rack have adjustments ~ 2015 RT ~ or some play in the Steering.

    I am either experiencing some play in the steering or imagining it and it has always been there. After all I am getting old. At a stop the steering has a slight play when moving the handle bars. A zone moves freely until resistance incurs and stops the movement, Not pushing hard. the amount...

    What brand of coolant/anti-freeze is BRP using?

    My dealer kinda sorta (in a low voice) said he thinks Can Am stuff is GM Dexcool, knowing Can Am doesn't make the stuff. So I have topped up my antifreeze with the Dexcool without incident. Bill

    Put on a Riken Raptor tire, replacing a Kenda Kanine. We changed no settings. The belt has always sat about a dime distance on the rear sprocket to the inside flange. After getting the tire mounted last night we ran the bike while the rear was in the air and all seemed well. The belt reset...

    Will the 1330 engine adjust based on gas octane changes?

    Wondering if the 1330 engine adjusts based on the octane you use like cars do. Think car engines will retard or advance based on the Octane it senses. Something like that. I am not an expert on this, just what I have heard. I don't think motorcycles do in general. Could be wrong on this as well...
