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.

Most are obvious just comparing photo's. Seat design/placement. Handlebar design. Floorboard design. Panel design. Switch location and looks/operation Etc.

The entire body was changed. 19 is the old style 20 is the new style. There is no way to not make the mistake. They look totally different.
The first picture below is a 2014-2019. The second is a 2020-2022. Look at the headlight. THe 14-19 have huge eyeballs. The 20-22 have squinty eyeballs. The old has a smile the new has a grin. They look nothing alike if you are referring to the RT so it’s easy to see the changes and identify the year and model. As said above, seat, floorboards, lights, width, plastic, storage, linq system, controls are all different.

:agree:from what I understand, that is the main difference that took place between the early 2020 and the later ones made in that year and 2021.
But as others have said, the 2019 is totally different. I love the looks of the 2020 and up, but kinda afraid of all the electronics compared to my 2016 F3 Limited. I will make the leap one day, but for now, I am good.:thumbup:
I'm sorry i was mistaken. I thought the new model came out in 2019 so i guess i was talking about 2020-2022. I heard that there were some changes. One was they added a belt tensioner but I don't know when exactly? I believe mid 2020 and i would like to know what are the other differences?

Iceberg, it is going to be nearly impossible to get exact info. The early model ‘21 RTs ( probably manufactured late 2020/early ‘21), did not have the tensioner. The later model ‘21 (manufactured only in ‘21) did have the tensioner. The exact dates of early vs late manufacturer is vague. The difference between the ‘20 and ‘21 were things like fixing a fitment issue with the saddlebag, providing a front white sprocket to reduce whine on the ‘20 and early ‘21, but obviously BRP are not going to release a list of “fixed faults”.
Someone may know what to look for on your plate that shows early vs later manufacture of the ‘21 models, but it is not commonly known.

Slide your hand along the upper side of the belt. If it is there, you will feel it.
