• 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.

Check the reservoir tank to make sure it's not broken or cracked

check the metal clamps on the hoses. My leak was due to the clamp bring loose. A few turns and all was well.
 
coolant leak

2011 RTs not RS but same engine set-up. Just had mine fixed yesterday. Same symptoms. No visible leak when riding but let it sit and a puddle of antifreeze under the center of the bike. All hose connections were good. It was the water pump seal. Dealer replaced seal and said I was good to go.
 
I would check the coolant overflow tank.. My is cracked and is going to be replaced. The tank is about 70.00 on BRP website but you might me able to check e-bay or amazon. If you remove the right side plastic and the cover for fuse box under the frunk you can see if the tank is crack. Mine crack on the backside of the tank in front of the air box intake. Good luck and its not that hard to replace..

:agree:Dealer told me this was a known issue, said as soon as you see any oil or antifreeze get it done. Mine was done last year.
