• 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.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I'm not sure why you're so bothered by this but here goes. Quite a few times when the bike would stop shifting, I'd go into the display and navigate down to the "Codes" page but it was always empty. I never got an answer whether ALL codes get displayed or just some. I took the bike in twice...

    Curious for comments on Twisted Sisters ride in Texas?

    I've ridden the twisted sisters 2 times in the Spring. The flowers are a highlight.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    The problem is that the shifting issue was intermittent and random. There was no way to make it happen on demand.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    SEEMS TO REALLY BE FIXED FINALLY Back in July, the bike completely stopped shifting up. I called the shop but they couldn't get it in for 2 weeks. Every day I'd go start the bike and try to shift into 1st but it never would so I was hoping it would stay broken for the mechanic. I finally...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I finally got it to fail and stay broken. I was on a long ride round Colorado this week. After stopping at the Wolf Creek Pass overlook, it wouldn't shift up for about 45 minutes but eventually it worked again (like it always does). We finished the days ride over cottonwood pass and into...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    It happened again today. After 2 hours on the road, I stopped at a scenic overlook. When I got back on the bike, it wouldn't shift. It's been 4 months since I last had a problem... It's annoying as all get out, but I still don't think I can justify $500 on the hope that it fixes the problem!

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    No, there is no specific ride conditions associated with the problem (for me). The majority of the time this happens in the first 10 minutes of my ride, so low speeds, city streets. Often just shifting reverse to 1st after backing out of the garage. Only a few times have I had it happen...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    Thanks RTWolfie. Unfortunately that doesn't sound like a cheap solution. I've only had one instance of failure to shift-up in the last 10 months and 5,000 miles, and it self corrected after 30 seconds. I'm hoping it's gone or become so infrequent that I just won't have to deal with it again...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    At least your mechanics are taking the issue seriously. My mechanic continues to insinuate that I'm an idiot and don't know how to push the shift-up button correctly. "Reproduce the issue and we'll fix it" they said. Otherwise they don't want to waste their time.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I really hope they figure something out. I really really hope it's something inexpensive to fix.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    After my last post, I had about 6 months where the problem never occurred. I rode probably 5,000 miles in that time. Then last week I towed the bike down to Arizona (from Colorado) to get a few good rides in. On one of the rides, I pulled onto the highway and felt the dreaded dry shift. Pushed...

    How can I use a USB Music Stick as an Audio Source?

    I tried out the brp connect stuff when I first got the bike in 2020. It was buggy and slow. Brp was trying to force 3rd party vendors to write software to be compatible with their libraries but they are just too small a fish to make much influence in smartphone market. They should have just...

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike

    I crawled all around under there and can only see the two at the front of the converter. They don't look great, and there's still two of them up there. Everything else looks really good, springs are all in place and just a couple of very small scrapes on the bottom of the converter.

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike

    I must have bottomed out. Yes, the bike still has the cat. Do I dare ride with it missing? I leave in the morning for a week around Rushmore. FYI I was loading onto a stinger trailer which has a very low ramp angle and barely felt anything as it loaded.

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    I hate threads that end without any resolution, and since I've sort of fixed my problem, here's my post explaining what I found and what I've done about it. I've been limping along for months with this problem occurring. Early in a ride, the bike will refuse to shift up and the only way I knew...

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike

    A part fell off the bottom of the bike (catalytic bushing) While loading my spider onto a trailer today I heard a bit of a thump. When I got off to look under the bike this part was sitting on the trailer. It's about an inch and 3/8 in diameter and about 5/8 thick. Looks kind of like a bushing...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    It happened again, but I fixed it in a different way. 1. After 1/4 mile, the bike wouldn't shift up, so I limped the bike home; 2. I left the bike on, in neutral with parking brake on; 3. Every minute I tried to shift it into 1st; 4. After 7 minutes of trying, the bike shifted to 1st; 5. I...

    2019 RTL won't shift up (fixed'ish - only now it's un-fixed again!)

    My bike continues to do this. I've had it to the mechanic (Faye Meyer in Denver) and they said they couldn't make it happen, but didn't say how hard they tried. He also cleaned the left hand controls. I have been unable to perceive any pattern to when it happens. It's about 1 in 5 rides on...

    What are you all using for Phone Holders on the handle-bars?

    RAM Mounts RAM-HOL-UN10BU X-Grip Large Phone Holder - It holds my Galaxy S23 Ultra with a gorilla case. I've used X-Grip since about 2007 on my wing and it held even some massive bumps and dips through the years and many phones and holders.

    Anyone purchased a Stinger spyder trailer? After buying info...

    My trailer is a couple years old and works different from the video shown. I don't have the 4 tie downs on my trailer that he shows, and my tongue jack is the generic style you buy from any autoparts store that bolts to a rectangular tongue, so it won't just unpin from the frame. When I tie...
