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.

The service manual shows the eight places up front on the 'A' arms. If you want, I could e-mail you the page.
I found the grease fittings easy enough. Getting to the top ones are a ROYAL pain. Any way to get to those without tearing the bike down?
The more I tinker on this bike the more I hate it. It's as if the RTS is designed specifically for BRP dealers to make hourly labor money.
Oil change requires removing a ton of tupperware. Replacing coolant cap is near impossible with large hands (small space, no way to press down on cap and twist), rear tire valve you have to fight the sprocket to get a pressure gauge or air chuck in there. Changing headlamps is garage work rather than fix it on the side of the road.
Very irritating.

I felt that way as well. I no longer do. HOWEVER! If and when BRP makes changes I will be happy to adapt them to out RT.
That said. A good NAPA will have a slew of Grease Fitting adapters that will make the job easier. We got the 90deg swivel and 45 deg swivel, with the 18" soft hose and it makes the job a lot easier. We got the "Pro" ones not the shade tree mechanic ones. So these will last and function they way the are intended to.
As for the Tupperware... :cus: And that is all I have to say about that :roflblack:

I changed only the two zerts under the swing arms with 90s. Was hard with my hands that are large and crippled but got it done. Grease about 4 or 5 good squeezes. I also bought the 18 inch hose for my grease gun. Fairly easy to reach now. As for the tire valve, I went to the local auto store and bought some extensions so the gauge now fits fairly easy. I found my biggest problem is bending over to check all this stuff. Oh well, getting older I guess.
