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.
Question on 2up shock spring

I sent you a PM. Let me know what you think.
Few days ago I had it installed at the dealership. They set it to the 2nd lowest preload setting telling me it is the default setting according to the service manual... We haven't ridden 2-up yet, but based on your comment, I'd say it won't be enough for our combined weight 330lbs...
With the standard spring we managed to scratch the rear fender on some pothole.

I wish I could have found more info about setup options for riding 2up when we I bought our Ryker last year. We promptly bought and installed the 2up spring and found it underwhelming! Not to mention how difficult it was for me to find a spanner to adjust it! Oh well, we have an Elka on order now.
I’m also having issues riding 2-up. I set the original spring to 5 as per BRP instructions and it still bottomed out so I purchased the 2 Up spring and reset this to 5 and although the ride seems a little stiffer, I’m still bottoming out on the rear fender, which is now damaged. BRP allocated a case to fix the fender but the dealer refused to contact them to claim the case.
So now I’m left with a damaged rear fender, a 2 up spring that doesn’t do the job its purchased for and £200 out of pocket for the purchase and fitting of the same.
We only weigh 155kg and the stock weight is supposed to be 203kg so I still think there is something wrong with the suspension on the 900.
I bought this specifically for 2 up riding with luggage (bought the maxmount and seat to have it fitted from new) and the dealer told me it would be perfect for what I wanted.
What have people done to stop the rear of the seat bottoming out on the fender? Please let me know!!
