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.

Adding A Harness
Looks like adding a 30amp line to the battery post and finding room for a relay won't be a problem. Was thinking of adding the relay, line and run a line up to the front trunk, next to the existing fuse box, and mount a Centech fuse block for extra lighting and gadgets. I guess for convenience I could mount it in the rear trunk. I'm overally cautious but I have always done that on our BMWs and Harleys and I add a switch on the dash to turn off all accessories. That way if there is a problem with the battery or charging system I can shut everything I have added off. Connectors look like AMP and are similar to the Harley plugs.
I have only been around the RT for a little while twice but if the area under the handlebars has a flat area with some access space from below i could use switches similar to those that BRP uses. Electrical Connection sells them as singles, doubles and triples and I have used the third empty spot for a Powerlet outlet for heated vests, etc..
Thanks for all of your photos, commentary and support for the Sypderlovers group.
Have a great holiday season.:joke:

Battery access?????????
Well, still wainting for delivery of new RT and because we have snow and it's very cold here:gaah:, I don't think it will get a "first ride" for some time. Anyway, purchased a battery tender for the new machine and after looking at your pictures, wondering what problems I'll run into, hooking it up. Any advise?:dontknow:

Battery Tender
Thanks for the info lamonster.
Guess I should of been able to figure that out after looking at you photos more closely. No one said I was smart. The older I get, the more I know, Its just soooo much trouble recalling ANY of it.
I assume everyone believes that a battery tender is a good idea? I have mixed feelings about battery tenders. they sometimes keep the battery too warm and as a result, you see some acid accumulation on the exterior surfaces. The old type batteries (with removable fill caps) liked to be drawn down and recharged. It seemed to improve life but I think the newer (maintenance fee) batteries really hate to be discharged too much and there have been some cases where too much discharge has caused a total battery failure. anyway, I plan to use the battery tender. Figure the Rt will be in storage till early spring.

On my PE those two screws are now tamper-proof. Guess they still go nowhere. They probably hold on the studs that fit into the rubber grommets, instead of them being cast into the cover, or perhaps to make them adjustable.The two screws on the left go nowhere, I'm not sure why they are there or if this is just a pre production thing. Remove the push pin and screw on the right.

They are for the pins that go into the grommets. Just never updated this post.

Lamonster Pics
I see from your pics. of the cover to check the oil the front edge is smooth liike ours, are you aware later shipped bikes have two tabs off of the front edgeon both side covers to hook around the front edge to help prevent a blow off I assume, our friend just got her blue RTS and it has these tabs, after seeing the factory added these I tethered ours with small clasps ,epoxy, 4" bungy cords, I assumed they were added for a reason , should anyone blow one off they might question why they were added ,might help with replacement.
