• 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.

    Zumo 590 wont charge on my 2015 RTSS

    I have a Zumo 590 which was installed by the dealer 3 years ago on my 2015 RTSS. It worked fine the last 2 years and now this year it decided it does not want to charge on the base. It goes on the bike with a full charge and 3-4 hours later it shows low battery. The contacts are clean and the...

    Rain Suit size? Go big or stay the same?

    I'm getting ready to order a set of rain suits for the wife and I. Looking at Nelson Rigg AS-3000's. I'm wondering about size. Do they just make them bigger or do you just go 1 size bigger than you normally wear? Thanks for the help. :chat:

    I am going to set up my 2011 RS to pull a trailer. I have the wiring figured out. I know I can purchase a hitch setup easily. Here is the issue.
