Just bought '21 RT Limited (2nd RT I've owned) noticed that I am getting a lot of radio static and stations fading in and out( like the signal is weak) on most stations. Brought it back to the dealer to have it checked out and he could find no problems. Always had strong signals on my old bike and I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the new bikes? Thanks in advance for any input!!

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.
Radio has poor reception & lots of static - anyone else?

yup. my 21 wont pick up any stations at all
Our 21 RTL made 2/21 had radio reception issues. On another thread I saw someone took there’s to a dealer and they found the radio antenna plug under the passenger seat unplugged. I checked ours. It was connected but not fully seated. I unplugged it and found the female side of the plug inside bent over. I used a dental pick and worked it back into shape. Plugged connection together with a locking snap. Reception is much improved now. Appears to have solved our reception issue.
I also had the antenna never been threaded into the boot issue on my 2021 sea to sky

Today, I pulled the topcase and left saddlebag plastic. Then pulled the antenna to discover it is 6mm x1 thread stud threaded into the mount. Went to O'Reilly and bought a 31" black, spiral wrapped antenna with assorted adapter studs. But it was 6mmx1 also, so I just cut the head off of a 6mm x 1 x 1" bolt, screwed it into the new antenna bottom and into the mount. Added a short piece of rubber tubing, a grommet, and some shrink wrap to keep water oug and make it look factory again. Stations now come in clear that I expect to, with much less noise and more volume. Plus, to handle my MP3 files, an old LG phone with non-provisioned SIM is now paired as BRPC's demanded phone. I can play my MP3s through it, and nog have the bike complaining when I want to change inputs.
