• 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.

:dontknow: Just wondering my 2011 RT seemed a lot quieter than the new 2014 RTL. there's a lot more engine noise coming up though the glove box area. When I say a lot more noise, I hear the engine more then the exhaust. Is this normal or do I have a problem:dontknow:
 
Interesting..!!

mostly hear about the noise from the fuel pump. Worth having the dealer check it out. If it is the pump the should have them and replace it if not they should check for other possible problems. Could be as simple as an exhaust leak...:dontknow:
 
My impression is that engine noise is less compared to the 990 Rotax.

Akspyderlady has also commented how quiet my 2014 sounds compared to her 2011 when we are going down the road.

It does sound as though you have one of the noisy fuel pumps.

Let us know if the fix is the cure, as far as noise goes. :thumbup:

Every once in a while I hear what sounds like a fan blowing, is that a fuel pump issue or a cooling fan coming on?
 
Fans..!!

That can well be your fans. They wll reverse when you are stopped in traffic to keep the heat away from you...:thumbup:
