• 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.

    Optimistic ambient temperature

    You know, it's interesting you say that. When riding, I suspect the Temp. reading would be a bit more accurate, but being new to 3-wheels I'm usually quite focused on the road and only glance-down when stopped. That and my missing striker plate might have road-heat seeping up on the right...

    Beat Up

    BadgerShield Ended-up getting the BadgerShield (enroute). I'll send pics and give a performance review once it arrives. Thanks guys.

    Beat Up

    Rode my 2013 RS-S (stock) during 45mph winds on my 3rd ride on it. Rather sore in the upper shoulders being too stiff. That wind, not to mention rain and hail, though lower body stayed relatively dry. Reminded me of holding on to a 1972 Honda CB 450 Hellcat. It was the meager windshield to...

    Optimistic ambient temperature

    Thanks for the responses. The right-side skid-plate is missing and the dealership is getting that replaced on warranty, so there's some issues there I suspect as the sensor is near there, creating different heat-zones. My Corvette Grand Sport and Saturn Astra XR are pretty accurate on outside...

    Juicebox or power commander??

    How's idle after the Power Commander? Is the throttle response a little more "snappy"? Some programmers that adjust the fly-by-wire throttle simply change the computer's recognition of the throttle position, making 25% throttle actually 50%, etc. making it seem to have a stronger pull, but...

    Optimistic ambient temperature

    Interesting. I wonder if there's a bias due to engine temp? Perhaps the sensor is near the Rotax? My right-side skid-plate was missing upon delivery (dealership to replace after a warranty claim in a few weeks) and the sensor might account for a more closed engine-bay normally. Thanks guys...

    Optimistic ambient temperature

    I've noticed by ambient temperature reading on the digital display of my RS-S is usually 20 degrees optimistic, give-or-take. Anyone notice this?

    Tach and Speedo Brightness adjust?

    Does the RT have a tach/speedo brightness adjust? My wife has the RT-S and it doesn't seem to, only the TIFF screen, which I can adjust on mine as well (I don't have the LCD screen on mine). Scoured the manual. Seems to be back-lit with LEDs but I don't believe there's a brightness value...

    Windscreen Wars

    Thanks! I'm gearing towards the CalSci right now. Wish I could get my hands on an F1 Evo III though. Why is there no double-bubble screen? Step UP, Lockhart-Phillips!

    Nothing Buttons?

    Ah, this must be for the earlier models. I don't have the ancient LCD screen. I have the TIFF screen. A relic of buttons not removed it seems. Mine looks like this but the M & S buttons (not shown in this example) are BLANK:

    Tach and Speedo Brightness adjust?

    Is there a way to increase the brightness of the speedo and tachometer backlight? The TIFF screen is pretty but the speedo and tach are quite dim, even at night.

    Nothing Buttons?

    Noticed above my TIFF display on my 2013 RS-S that there's two nodule buttons that don't do anything. Are these a throwback from the old LCD screen?

    Looking for options to quiet Hindle Exhaust at night

    You can cap it but that's a manual deal. My 2012 Corvette Grand Sport has the NPP exhaust that has a vacuum actuator that opens 2 additional exhaust ports which I wired on a footswitch. It normally opens at 4k rpm based on pressure. You could rig something like that, like a hinged-cap that is...

    Windscreen Wars

    So, there's a few out there for the RS. The F1 EVO III is no longer made as "Marcel" went back to Europe I think. I'm looking at buying one with a hint more protection. There's no "Double Bubble" screens yet by "Hot Bodies" or Lockhart-Phillips, sadly, and Memphis Shades doesn't seem to be...

    Problems with tight corners

    Longtime sportbike rider here (20+ years). I currently have a Honda CBR600RR/A. Trick I find is to pull the bars into the turn while supporting your outside hand pushing against the outside handlebar, then, as everyone notes, hand-kiss. I find a little "english" off the seat helps tons, just...

    Corbin or OEM "Comfort Seat"?

    Thanks for all the replies. Ended up snagging an OEM Comfort Seat (per Sypdergirl's recommendation) for $380 online, new-in-box.

    That whacky TIFF speedo (no bathingsuits, sorry ladies)

    Perhaps an OEM "RT" Can-Bus could be installed to communicate with it then? Is the radio also hooked-up to the Can-Bus? I suspect I could aquire the "guts" of that radio and amp of an "RT" through the Can-Am Parts Shop, as well as the magical "Can-Bus" and some aftermarket speakers, and get it...

    Plastic mesh insert replacements.

    Do these (front and rear) just pop-out from snap-in plastic pins with perhaps a tug by some needle-nose pliers? I noticed the fuseboxes are in the frunk and I'd like some illumination through there, where's a good 12V tap aside from the battery directly?

    That whacky TIFF speedo (no bathingsuits, sorry ladies)

    So I have the 2013 RS-S and it shares the center whacky TIFF-color screen in the center. My wife's RT-S has a few more features such as the radio and the AUX jack option, but it's essentially the same deal. 2 Questions: 1) I suspect there's additional plug-ins into this unit, either by...

    Corbin or OEM "Comfort Seat"?

    Wow, great responses! Awesome! Nice group, you guys. What about the all-leather BRP one?
