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.
Replacing rear rotor, anything to look out for?

BajaRon is a helpful, knowledgeable vendor as well as experienced rider and mechanic. I suggest you direct your question to him as his shop has performed this change multiple times. And an electronic service manual is an inexpensive investment with excellent ROI.

FYI, the rotor bolts are slathered with Yellow Loctite and are a B*tch to loosen if they haven't been removed before... You would be better off getting & using an impact driver with the correct bit on it vs a standard ratchet to get them broken loose. You may find the bolts feel like they seize up when trying to turn them. Stop, and switch directions to tighten them a tiny bit, repeating this back and forth pattern to prevent the Loctite from galling the threads... ... And sometimes, heat is even needed... Once removed, use a wire wheel or brush to remove the remaining Yellow Loctite and blow out the mounting holes to remove as much Loctite & Loctite "dust" as possible. Use Blue Loctite when reassembling (you will thank yourself later)....

Follow hypurone's advice
Also, a mini-torch https://www.amazon.com/s?k=mini+but...ix=mini-tor,aps,144&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_3_8 would greatly help soften the Yellow Loctite. If you don't get the removal correct on the first try, the following tries get uglier each try.
