• 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.

    Rattle when letting off throttle

    I had the exact same thing happen with it sounding like rattling metal. Turns out the original factory spec for belt tension was a little high causing excessive wear on the main drive shaft bearing. This obviously required a partial engine rebuild to replace it, all luckily done under warranty...

    Mels Monster Garage passenger backrest

    What does the mounting bracket look like and exactly where does it actually attach to the bike. In addition it looks as though the chrome verticle "pipes" that go into the back of the backrest end with square flat ends. How do these attached to the bracket under the seat. Thanks in advance. Rob

    Yup that was my mod and it has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The switch and the missing air dam mod have elliminated any overheating issues I had !

    Creep? SE5

    I had the same issue with my 2008 SE5 in the early days with it. It was so bad that the lurching and creeping forward would actually stall the bike because I had to be on the break hard. The dealer replaced the clutch rollers and low and behold the problem went away !

    Fan override switch ????

    As it shows in the pictures, I ran my power to the fan through a switched auxiliary fuse box to avoid that problem.

    You never know what a day will bring

    Ya know it is things like this that make me really think that all of the problems and complaints about the sypder and BRP really are not all that important now are they. it is funny how things like this help you to reconsider priorities. God bless and remember that there is nothing more noble...

    another "made in canada" -idea

    Being a firefighter I can tell you that these things are dangerous. Too many people over fill the deep fryer with oil so that when they place the turkey in the pan the oil overflows of course running down to the burner and flame below. Mind you as long as people continue do things like that I...

    Heated grips- what's best?

    The one thing that is truly nice about heated gloves is that they also heat the backs of your fingers and hand whereas the heated grips will only heat he inside of your fingers and your palm.

    Lost a great companion yesterday

    Regardless of what anybody says, pets, and in my case dogs, ARE as much a part of the family as my own wife and kids are (just a little lower on the food chain). Having said this it was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make when we (read that I) had to make the decision to put our last...
