I was at the dealer to get a rear shock replaced today. While there I asked about the shim. The 2 mechanics agreed they had only seen 2 so far with a shim and both where between the caliper and the bracket, front bolt.

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 got tied up with repairs today and got started late on the RT. I did lift it and could not see where the shim was on mine. I will say this. I firmly believe that if it was put in there, it was to true the caliper to the rotor. I will use extreme care when I take mine apart.

:agree: If you do everything properly; you'll eventually have enough parts left over, to build another bike!

That only applies to Chevys!

Well I am not trying to brag but I have never had any parts left over unless the kit from BRP came with new replacement screws.....
But I will say that I bet most the folks that have left over panel screws, check behind your mirror! Even my dealer forgot one on each side under there.

Drove about 60 miles today with the new tire. I'd almost swear the bike rides smoother, but sure don't think a tire change would be that noticeable. Could that really be the case or am I just imagining things?

Mine was the same way, I think it rides better

Chevys must get better gas mileage all the time then since parts constantly fall off of them. :shocked:

Figured out where the screws belonged. Bottom two tabs for the center piece around the headlights! I took a bunch of the tupperware off so the service tech doesn't have to figure out where all the wires to and from the console go for my mods. He has to remove it to change the DPS module tomorrow.

I don't know why I didn't try "walking" the belt back on. Maybe would have worked. Oh well, if I'm fortunate, in more ways than one, I will never have to change the rear tire again! By the time it wears out hopefully I'll be able to trade for a '14 or '15 RT! :yes:

Mine also in front
I also have a washer shim on the front bolt between caliper and bracket. It was "glued" with yellow locktite. We still can see the mark on the braket.
