• 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.

    2019 RT - loose antenna? The rubber boot keeps coming out.

    2019 RTL. A little annoyance of mine is that my antenna (rear-right, beside the top case). The rubber boot keeps working it's way up and out of the hole. I manage to twist it back into place, but it vibrates back up and out again. This makes me think something under it is not mounted...

    2019 RTL - what are the correct on/off switches, like the foglight and grip heater switches?

    I want to put an on/off switch in one of the empty switch blanks. I think the switches are Carlings. From my searches here, it looks like BRP changed the hole size in the 2020+ RTLs. Mine is a 2019, so I want to be sure I get the right thing. Is this the correct one...

    Front cargo “frunk” contact switch not working - can it be disabled with BUDS? Any ideas to fix?

    2019 RTL here. I think the front cargo warning message has been disabled. I bought the bike used and just discovered extra horns and fished a cut off aftermarket pigtail out from under the front windshield, so I know work has been done on it. My rear cargo open warning comes up in the...

    How do I turn off the keyboard sounds in the iPhone?

    The new forum software has a VERY annoying chime when typing in Safari on my iPhone. How can I make it stop?

    Brake pad rubbing noise - what is the correct way to fix this?

    I noticed a rotational light squealing noise coming from left front when going down my alley the other day. If a car, I'd think it sounded like a low brake pad, bearing, or a pad rubbing. After getting the wheel up and turning it, I was sure it’s coming from the brakes. I took the wheel off...

    How should a novice check brake pad thickness?

    I've read up and watched some youtube, but I'm wondering what is a reliable way for a novice to check brake pad thickness until this novice learns by sight? I don't mean how to get to the pads for inspection ... I know how to do that. I'm asking for what's a non subjective "that looks like at...

    On the Road and BajaRon end link came off - what size hex key needed?

    I’m 5 hours from home and the below happened. I even have a hex set with me, but the set screw is somewhere between the 4 and 5. I think I can limp to a hardware store, but does anyone know exactly what size I need? I knew it was off when it bottomed out on a dip. There’s a pretty good ding in...

    Why should I consider upgrading the shocks? What should I expect if I do?

    I know that shocks on a car generally help the tires deal with road unevenness and smooth out the ride. I assume they do the same on our spyders. The only suspension issue I have faced since adding BajaRon's ultra bar is that I bottomed out twice where the road met the river crossing/overflow...

    Trying to decide if I want to start doing my own oil changes - what should I budget?

    NOTE: please do not turn this into a "which oil is best" thread ... there's plenty of those that I have read. My local dealer charges $250 for the BRP brand oil change, which I see is a lot lower than some dealers. I think that works out to about $150 for the BRP kit, and $100 labor. I'm...

    HowTo: 2019 RTL - RLS cat/primary muffler delete install with pics

    As promised by Ricky (RLS Exhaust), my RLS cat delete arrived today. When UPS updated its delivery ETA from 1:00-3:00 to 3:00-7:00, when work stopped at 4:30, I figured I'd at least get the bike jacked up while taking my time about it, since I never had before. Front tires: super simple, just...

    What iPhone phone app do you use to plan & track your trips?

    I use my dashmounted phone for GPS and tracking. (Which has the drawback of overheating and dimming the past couple of weeks, but the voice guidance in my helmet works, so I'm ok with that for now.) I've tried MyRoute-app, and it would route me through parking lots, dirt lanes, etc. But it...

    What are the CURRENT belt specs for the 1330? Is 210# ok?

    In researching a vibration I get around 70-75mph, I've found a LOT of information about belt tensioning. However, the recommendations seem like they have changed over time. It looks like BRP even changed their official specs, but I cannot seem to figure out what the current specs and...

    Left hand lower side panel “loose” - is this normal?

    As shown in the pics, my left lower black side panel is “loose”. I can move it around easily and sort of make it rattle. By comparison, the same panel on the right is much tighter and does not have this free play. Note: it won’t let my upload an 11 second video that shows what I’m talking...

    How easy is it to replace Mode and Parking buttons? The print on 2019 RTL has gone!

    I bought my bike used, and the print on the mode button is all but gone (and has seemed to still be getting more worn each ride). The (P)arking brake button also is a little worn. (Neither are really faded... it's more like the print has simply come off in places, and is intact in others.) I...

    How can I remove image left behind by sticker on the black rear fender?

    There is an obvious rectangle on the bottom of my rear mudflap where I assume the previous owner had a sticker. It's not residue or sticky I don’t think, as it does not feel any different. I’ve tried scrubbing with Dawn, and with rubbing alcohol, and then waxing it, but it’s still quite...

    How much will it help to wrap the exhaust pipe going into cat/primary muffler?

    2019 - RTL I am about to replace my cat with an RLS cat delete that is ceramic coated. While researching this project, I've seen a lot of talk about heat control and abatement, including wrapping exhaust headers and pipes. I'm not good enough to get deep into the engine, but it appears that I...

    Help me decide: 2019 RTL - RLS Cat Delete or RLS Crusher?

    I want my bike a little louder with more "rumble", but not sharp or popping when decellerating. I heard SpyderPop Harvey's combo of cat delete and RLS Crusher, and it was too loud for me. Robin Bishop (are they in a relationship?) has the RLS Crusher and kept her cat, and I liked that sound...

    I installed SpyderPop's upper exhaust blocker... but modified it some:

    After taking my bike out last week when it was hot, and while using the highway pegs in shorts (don't judge), I realized I needed to do something about the heat coming from that vent. Like I expected, SpyderPops had invented a solution. I ordered his upper exhaust blocker, and it arrive quickly...

    New side panel “fake” post replacements needed

    Somewhere during all the mods I had done last weekend, the side post shown below has snapped in half behind the panel. Does anyone have a part # or supplier for them? 2019 RTL
