• 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.

Exhaust noise?

I have a ticking noise coming from the right hand side. I asked a friend he said it sounds like an exhaust leaks from one of the joints. I took off all the panels and tightened the clamp about 3-4 turns it got a little better but can still hear it. Anyone had this problem? I'm going to order the the exhaust bushings and see if that helps. Only have 6600 miles the book says they should be replaced at 12000 ?

Most likely your right hand slip-joint gasket is burned up. They are usually referred to as Y gaskets on here, and the BRP ones are known to fail fairly early on. If you only have 6600 miles, BRP may cover the replacement under warranty. However, what many of us have done is to switch over to a Honda gasket that is much better quality than the stock BRP ones.

Here is a link to a How-To thread with all of the information you will need to do it yourself, if you decide to go the Honda route:
