• 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.

    Air Hawk vs Badass seat pads - will the cheaper Badass wear as well?

    My wife and I both need seat pads for our aging seats (butts) :rolleyes: Badass pads are cheaper than Air Hawk… but I want pads that will last. So - will the cheaper Badass stand the wear and weight (I’m 215 lbs) as good as the Air Hawk? :dontknow:

    What's the difference between an RT and a Sea to Sky?

    I looked at a comparison sheet on Powersportstv.com for the 2022 RT Limited and the 2022 Sea to Sky. Looking down the list I saw that mechanically and structurally they are the same. RT is priced less. Looking at the pictures I couldn't tell a difference - the pictures weren't that large - so...

    Shocks OR Swaybar

    2019 RTL, 350 pounds of people on the byke, seems to "dive" into corners. If I can only afford one, should I consider shocks or swaybar? If you recommend shocks, what kind? The swaybar I know about. Thanks - Jim

    Limp Home Mode... what would've caused this?

    Need to Wire 2019 RT to 5-pin flat for Bushtec camper?

    I am new to the 2019 RT coming from a 2010 RT. My 2010 was wired by a dealer with a 5-pin flat to match my Bushtec camper. There is a square wiring plug on the RT that I assume is for a Can Am trailer. My Bushtec camper has a 5-pin flat on it. How can I connect the 4-pin square to the 5-pin...

    Has anyone felt like your RT was slipping...

    ...skating or on ice while ryding down the road. Every now and then it feels like it is slippery. Like it feels when the rear tire goes flat at a slow speed and you are still moving. It's not severe or constant... just now and then. Does a wind gust lift the front end just enough to cause...

    What do I have to do after battery is disconnected?

    2019 RTL... going to install some wiring from the battery to a USB power supply. Battery will disconnected from the system for a while. Do I need to reset anything when I reconnect the battery? Or will everything go back to normal once battery power is restored? Jim

    Install 12V power outlet help

    I have a portable air compressor that has a 12V male power plug. My 2019 RTL doesn't have a 12V female power plug anywhere that I can find. In the trunk, on the right, it looks like a place to install a plug. Am I right? If so, how do I install one? I have never done this. Does the power...

    Medium priced seat pad for Spyder RT?

    Looking for add on seat pads for the 2019 RTL. Anything less expensive than the Airhawks I found? If they are the best for the money I'm in. Hoping for something serviceable for about 50-60 bucks each since I need to buy two. Jim

    Using the Krikit ll and about that belt tensioner...

    I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer... 1. When using the Krikit ll on the belt will it be accurate if there is an installed belt tensioner? 2. Does the roller on LaMonster's Upgrade Belt Tensioner need to be lubricated? Or is it a sealed unit? I'm learning a lot asking...

    I'm wondering about this pretty loud "clunk" on selecting 1st... Normal??

    ...when I start my 2019 SE6 RT and hit the paddle to go from neutral to 1st. I let the rpm drop to 900 after starting the byke then shift to 1st. I thought that I was back on my 1800 VTX which was the king of the clunks when shifting. Normal?

    Strange sound at certain speeds...

    ... when the engine is under load I get a pulsating humming sound about 40-45 mph when rolling steady down the road. The sound stops when I let off the throttle so I don't suspect tires. Sounds like it is an engine sound...

    maps so that Genius Maps works on my BRP Connect - When I just launched BRP Coneect I got a red greeting and a blue BUY symbol. So I need to buy the maps to continue using Genius Maps on BRP Connect? I read the posts comparing Sygic and Genius and there seems to be a favor toward Genius. I...

    I get a strange vibration at higher speeds...

    ... that feels like running over the rumble cuts on the side of the highway. I’m running at 75 on the interstate and if I accelerate when the byke gets to 77 I feel the vibration. I don’t feel anything in the steering so I wonder if it’s engine? Odd vibration. Stops when I back off the...

    After the 600 mile break-in for my new 2019 SE6

    ...should I take it to a dealer to have them do something to the bike? I didn't see a "at 600 miles" chart in the Maintenance Schedule. My tech guy at delivery wasn't very clear about what I do after 600 miles. Jim

    I'm confused about the air bag on the 2019 RT

    The operator's guide describes two different methods for the air bag. The guide describes a "manual adjustment" and an "automatic adjustment." My new 2019 RT Limited has a Schrader valve under the seat just like my old 2010 SM5. I assume that I DO NOT have automatic adjustment and I am back...

    Is there a "not less than" for RPMs on the SE6?

    I am new to the SE6, coming from a 2010 SM5. With the 998 there was caution not to 'lug' the engine with RPMs too low. On my new 2019 RT I shifted the SE6 about 3500 during this break-in period. Is it possible to have the RPMs too low for any of the gears? Trying to understand how this SE6...
