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.

Actually BRP, as any OEM, has a vested interest in specifying 'good enough' maintenance intervals. Long maintenance intervals and thus low cost of ownership are selling points. The 'cost' of these reduced maintenance regimes is born by the owner, not the OEM.

In short, BRP has a vested interest in selling you a bike with all its 'features', not in making your purchase last as long as possible.

The recommendations made by many owners here is based on real world observations of oil analysis from Spyders and is trying to help you make your investment last longer. Listen to whomever you want. But don't infer that the recommendations are bunk.
