• 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.

Any problems with battery charging due to Electric Clothing?

I own a 2022 RT Limited. Has anyone had a problem with their battery charging when you have an electric jacket liner plugged in while the heated grips and seat were on?

I run my 20 RT with heated grips and seat on low and power my jacket & gloves as well. I haven't had any problems in 3 winters of riding almost every Sunday.
 
Should not be a problem even with full electric gear. Especially the current products with pulse heating. We sell the Warm & Safe product and have had zero issues. Even on the early Spyders that don't have as much charging current as the 1330 machines.
 
The 1330cc engine's alternator outputs 1250W@1720RPM, 850W@2910RPM. Nominal operating load is probably 300W. !00W of heated gear will keep you at warm summer day temperatures. So plenty of reserve capacity in traffic or on the highway.
 
I have a 2014 RTS-SE6 with the "1330" Ace Engine.

I run/use the Heated hand grips+ my heated Jacket liner( which is 90 Watts) on my Spyder. I haven't had any problems.

I use the following http://Thewarmingstore.com/warm-n-safe-generation-waterproof-womens-heated-liner

I am also using the above on my sled.

I run/and use the FirstGear Heat-Troller Version CMB Remote - Designed and Manufactured by Warm and Safe Heated Gear, LLC.

When I use the above, I run the red knob at about a quarter turn, and the yellow knob about a quarter turn as well, (that controls the heated pants, when I am on the sled/or Spyder).

I hope the above info helps.

My 1330 ran two full sets of heated clothing, charged a cell phone and sena headsets along with running both driver and passenger heated hand grips. The alternator ran all that without any issues. I'm also going to try and add a heated coffee mug holder.
