• 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.

    Is my compressor dead?

    (Bump) I just replaced my 4th compressor and this BRP ACS system seems way too complicated. (BTW, what does ACS stand for?) I've tried reading/following the Troubleshooting procedure in the Rear Suspension subsection of the service manual and was about to pull my hair out. I can't believe BRP...

    Sproket issue wrongly diagnosed

    Thanks James, I'll contact Full Throttle and go from there. They said they would cover whatever BRP would cover. Mike in KY

    Sproket issue wrongly diagnosed

    Any chance BRP might cut me some slack on a 2012 RT that needed a new drive sprocket at 88,835 miles? After the SE Ohio ride back in June and on the way to the Pittsburg area, she developed a "clunking" noise during deceleration at low speeds. I took it to Mosites Motorsports near Pittsburg...

    Rear Tire Wear

    Michelin HydroEdge Anybody out there still running a Michelin HydroEdge on the rear of an RT besides me? And/or know of an equivalent tire today? My OEM Kenda lasted 10K on my 2012 RT-S, mostly riding two up and pulling a loaded RT-622 trailer. The next was a Toyo Proxie 4 that only lasted...

    Magic Mirrors installed

    Magic Mirror Mounts I had an early set of Magic Mirror Mounts that I ordered back in January of 2017 directly from Russell Culley in Australia for like $75 plus shipping. Back then the kit from Russell came with six magnets and a tether that wasn't very robust. But tethers aren't really needed...

    Extended Service Warranty

    All good questions JayBros, but what I'm looking for is answers as to which company is better. Need to hear from folks that have experience with either company. Mike in KY

    Extended Service Warranty

    The BEST extended warranty from BRP has run out on my 2012 RT-S SE5, but I want to keep the bike even though it has 85,064 miles on it. A CanAm dealer in Illinois, where I've had most of my warranty work performed, has quoted me a three year plan at $1,876 from Zurich. But just today Full...

    2010 RT Heat Block Off

    I have a '12 RT with the '14 right side grill and lower block off plate from BRP, the '13 air vents from BRP, big holes cut in the lower plates, additional thermal barrier around the gas tank, and a FanCan. Sure helped my heat problems. Mike in KY

    New toy for me--used 622 trailer

    I too made an extended second mudflap that almost touches the pavement, and I still get "stuff" on the trailer sides up front. Kinda wondering if some of it isn't coming from the front tires. Mike in KY

    Tether for Magic Mirrors

    Tethers for RT Mirrors with Magic Mounts Kinda sounds like a solution to a problem that may not exist, IMHO. My '12 RT made it 1,500 miles to Spyderfest and back with out a problem, but... I don't think Russell even supply's his tethers anymore like he did on the early shipments. I have his...

    Spyderfest Registration

    157 Now Yeah Marcy I think you're right, at least I hope so. As I was hitting the final button to register, I saw a note, or thought I saw a note, that said something like "based on your order number, you do not qualify for the early bird giveaway". 157 sounds a lot more reasonable than what...

    Spyderfest Registration

    Way over 500!!! I just signed up for Spyderfest 2017 about 6:00 CST on Sunday the 1st and didn't make the cut for the early registration giveaway. Based on my order number, at least the last three digits (713), that seems like a lot better participation than last year. Guess we'll just have to...

    World of Powersports in Decatur, Illinois????

    Anybody want to comment, pro or con, on the quality of service work performed by a Gold dealership in Decatur, IL by the name of World of Powersports? I'm thinking of having them change out the steering shaft and U-joints on my 2012 RT-S. Mike in KY
