• 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.

    BAD DEALERS

    I totally agree with this thread about bad dealers. When I got my 2011 rt we took a trip down to Sanfransisco for us here in Alberta it was about a 2 week round trip. On the way back I had a brake problem and stop in at a dealer in Northern California. Wow what an absolute pathetic dealership...

    What problem is the new gas cap supposed to cure?

    im in the same situation here, with the old cap I had no problems but I did install the new cap that was sent out to me. Now the smell of gas is way over powering my garage and we have a bed room just above that. I am going to talk to the dealer and see if there is some kind of fix for this...

    Bearing replacement

    Just had my rear wheel, hub and sprocket powder coated. I got my bearings dust seals and you will need a new rubber O-ring as well, from BRP dealer here took about a week to get parts. The bearings are pretty easy to remove and replace but like Firefly has mentioned you will need to cut teeth...

    Graphics - Wrap or Airbrush

    Frank I totally agree with you about the creative time it takes to come up with an idea, let alone apply it to work on vinyl. The guy who did my wrap is a true artist in every sense, as I said he was an air brush artist for over 20 years. I have been to bike shows and every one thinks my wrap is...

    Graphics - Wrap or Airbrush

    As every above mentioned there are way to many pro's and con's for both wraps and paint. I have a full very detailed wrap it was over 1000 dollars to have it designed. I would of loved to have it painted but at the time I was undecided on what theme I wanted. Wraps are very durable and you can...

    Sypder Wheels

    Im not sure about the Rss but in the brp accessories book it states that all 2013 wheels fit All prior model years. If you are interested in a set of 15 inch wheels just ask your dealer that if they dont fit that you can return them for a full refund. I haven't got my wheels back from the powder...

    What are Advantages of running Car tires vs Kendas tires ?

I just relayed some info from the owner of OK Tire who has been in the motorcycle and truck and passenger tire business im guessing most of his life. I dont think anyone here is a tire engineer and if there is...

    What are Advantages of running Car tires vs Kendas tires ?

    I just talked to my tire dealer about this last week, I ordered the new 2013 15inch wheels for my 2011 rt limited. I asked him about people running car tires on Spyders and he told me it`s a very bad idea. The car tire bead is not going to be the same as a Kenda tire`s bead and because of this...
