• 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.

    Less impressed with my dealer than I was.

    Sounds typical of CanAm Dealers based on my experience.. I am on my third bike from two dealerships, yet to find one that cares anything about customer service once the sale is completed.

    October 2020 Maggie Valley Rally?

    I like your optimism thinking the mess will be done !!!!! Upstate South Carolina just canceled their Rally for the second time, originally scheduled for May, then moved to end of August, now cancelled again... I hope you are right, sadly it might be continuing for sometime .......

    Garmin wiring for 2020 RTL

    Polarity was reversed on mine and many others. If that is the case with yours, Zumo is running on battery only. The Tech probably never checked it. That happened with mine.

    accessory installation for 2020 RT

    My dealer installed the rider backrest and Garmin GPS mount at no charge. Although the GPS Mount had no power when I got home to try it. I had to do it over, the polarity was reversed, so obviously the Dealer never checked it. I guess you get what you pay for.
