• 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.

    Anyone tried Slime in the Rear wheel? How did it work?

    I carry a tire repair kit just in case I get a small puncture in one of my tires. Anything worst no sealant is going to help.

    Anyone installed one of these Chigee Aio-5 Lite nav systems?

    I installed a one of these, brand name Juiyin. I really like the cameras, tire pressure monitoring, and CarPlay. The only problem I have with it is I can’t get the unit to Bluetooth to my smh10 headset.

    Is a '5+80' Capacitor the same as an '80+5'?

    Ron, that states the capacitor is a dual type. 5 micro farad and 80 micro farad. They are the same, just be sure to connect the wires to the correct tabs.

    Won't downshift? Try this "fix" - UPDATE - caused Turn Signal failure!

    Have you taken a look at the springs for those balls. I had shifting issues previously on my 2014 RTL and one of the springs was compressed (broken) replaced it and the issue was fixed.

    2020+ RT Handlebars are too much of a reach for me - any other options?

    I just purchased a 2021 RTL. I am 5'9" 180lbs. and find that with the stock handlebars my arms are fully extended. Read up on options but would like to hear from others what worked best for them. Risers or the F3 stock bars. The short reach appear to probably be too much of a change. Thanks

    Squealing noise when turning steering

    I did listen to the DPS and alternator with a stethoscope and the noise was definitely coming from the alternator. If I have the noise return I will post. I am too surprised that this came about from trying a full synthic oil instead of the blend.

    Squealing noise when turning steering

    I know this sounds strange but I have used xps blend for all my oil changes. I decided to try Shell Rotella T6 5w40.

    Squealing front brake pads

    EBC fully cinestered pads are good replacements. Baja Ron sells them, but to stop the sguealing on any of the pads be sure to apply a light coat of Permatex ceramic brake lubricant on the back of the pads. I have had the same issue with mine.
