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.

I do not believe disabling the DESS makes the bike any easier to steal.

With or without DESS, a thief either needs a key or a roll back wrecker to steal the bike.

Either with or without DESS, a thief can get the bike running once in their posession by making a key and software access.

By BRP making the software access to the security module accessible without the coded key in place, they essentially made the system useless by design.

This is NOT how the security on coded keys in cars works. The 2013 and older bikes were actually MORE secure as a result of this design decision.
