• 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.

    2010 RT Oil Change?

    I've done my own oil changes and most maintenance on my 2010 RT annually since it was new. This year I haven't used the RT as much as in past years and only have about 700 miles on it since the last oil change/service performed November 2014. I use BRP synthetic blend oil and filters. I know...

    Loose Left Control Cluster Fix?

    I have searched the forum and can't find the fix BRP came out with a year or so ago for the loose left control cluster most of us have on the 2010 and 2011 RT. Seems to me someone came up with a service bulletin or something with a repair part number that will fix this problem. Any ideas?

    Parking Brake Not Working

    Tried releasing the parking brake on my 2010 RTS and got nothing when I pushed the button this morning. I had to release the cable with the adjustment nuts at the rear wheel to get the bike to move. I've checked all the fuses (under seat and front trunk) and they all look good. Removed the...

    HMT Brake Light / Brake Light Flasher Wiring Question

    I have the Street Magic HTM Brake light with Brake Light Dual Converter Unit currently installed so the HTM works as both a running light and brake light.

    Only One Exhaust Spring Used On RT?

    I had the side panels off my 2010 RT for service today and noticed that only the right side exhaust slip joint has a spring. The left side slip joint has holders for a spring but no spring. I though it may have been left off until I looked it up on the parts catalog (part 26 - quantity 1)...

    Drive System Maintenance Question

    Looking at the RT's drive system maintenance schedule they call for inspecting the rear sprocket bearing and rear axle bearings at 12,000 mi. They also call for replacing the bearing seals , o-rings, and wear sleeves (which I can't find listed on any diagram). I had my rear tire changed last...

    Engine Shuttering / Hesitation During Acceleration

    When my 2010 RT SE5 engine is fully warmed up it will sometimes start to shutter and hesitate during acceleration (under load). It doesn't do this all the time. I can start it cold at the house and it will run fine for the first 20 or 30 miles. Once I reach a cruising speed of 45 or 50 it...

    Front Spark Plug Removal on RT???

    Does anyone have any tips on getting to and removing the front spark plug on a RT short of removing the entire airbox? :helpsmilie: Back plug was easy. Looks like the air box is pretty difficult to remove itself (wire ties, 6 screws, hoses, and removal of frame brace). Surely there must be an...

    My 2010 RT battery doesn't seem to hold a charge like it used to. I try to keep it on a tender when the bike isn't being used but it just doesn't hold a charge like it did when new (13 months old). Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement? Is the same type battery used in both the RS...
