• 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.

Discount parts?

There are many places.

Is there a place where one can order maintenance items like the oil change kit for less than MSRP?

Check the site sponsors on here. I use Honda East quite often. When you call, talk to their internet sales department. After they give you a price, be sure to ask, "Is that the best you can do?". Often times they'll take off a few more bucks. And this is for any BRP item.
 
I see parts on Amazon all the time for less than what the local dealer quotes for parts. I saved enough on a bluetooth dongle to make it well worth the effort.
 
Try this..!!

ebay for oil and filter kits (if you want brp) BajaRon for aftermarket and cheapcycleparts.com for brp parts...:thumbup:
 
Well I'll say it... :shocked:

These bikes have a pretty high cost of admission to the club...
Trying to save money on parts for maintenance just seems... odd! :opps:
Buy cheaper peanut butter if you need to save money;

...just sayin'...

So, are you saying that he shouldn't consider using BajaRon's oil change kit, etc? I have used cheapcycleparts and gearhead, even bikebandit (no longer recommend) and they get me the parts cheaper than a dealer and they are the same parts that the dealer gets when they order from BRP. And with the money I saved from my last run of parts I could buy 5 or 6 jars of the good peanut butter.
 
In most cases, I will probably use OEM parts and materials. I am a pretty good amateur motorcyle mechanic and have maintained all my bikes for the last 15 years. For the most part, I will do the same with the RT-S. It is in my best interests to obtain discount parts and materials over the internet rather than drive 50 miles to the nearest dealer and pay MSRP.

Thanks everyone for giving me some great suggestions.
 
My local dealer (Brewers, a site sponsor), is usually cheapest on can-am OEM replacement parts after figuring in shipping and all, since I just pick it up at the counter. Good for tires as well.

For accessories, Amazon seems pretty good. I just got my frunk rolling luggage for $182 including shipping.

UPS, Fedex, and USPS run a constant supply line to my house as I have a couple of restoration projects going on at the moment, as well as maintaining a stable of cars, bikes, and pwc(s). I do a lot of online price comparo. About the only thing Amazon isn't competitive on is the Rustang and GT750 parts.
