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.

If the overheating warning comes across the screen and it goes into limp mode call your dealer and get it fixed. If it not doing as I described it is not overheating. Hot right foot on a RT is a common complaint.
There is no fix for the heat on right side that's a design flaw and BRP doesn't seem to have a fix. But if it is over heating check with dealer and be sure all recall work is done. When I purchased mine in October they had not done recall work and I didn't know it had recall work not done, but in Feb I contacted my dealer and ask when was best to get it service for spring and he entered my bike vin and informed I needed to have recall work done that had been issued in August 2013 and some service bulletins. So we setup appointment for it to be done.
But this week I learned thanks to NHTSA that BRP and my dealer broke the law when I drove that bike off the lot and recalls had not been done and also someone changed my purchased date to Feb 2014. So it seems they left me sitting on a fire hazard and no one ever informed me of a any recall no letter from BRP or Dealer. So once I file all the forms they will be find. NHTSA is working on all the heat issues but not sure what is causing the heat issue except the design.

pps: This is going to seem like a dumb question, and I certainly don't mean to offend you... ...But what do you wear when you're riding?
Some proper footgear (That affords you some protection), and riding pants; might just help keep some of that unwanted heat off of you.

Please define what you mean by overheating. I have done a good deal of work on my 2013. It runs cool, mostly solved the gas fume problem and no hot right foot. Its a solvable riddle but not simple.
