• 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.

RT Akropovic exhaust

Put a new Akropovic on my 2017 RTL and I like the sound. Just asking if the smell / burning is normal and how long?
 
Installing just about anything new onto an engine will produce some degree of burning/hot metal smell for a while (hours or possibly even a couple of days of operation!) But the MOST smell like that will occur when you fit a new exhaust component!! :shocked: So expect that smell to hang around for at least a couple of hours of operation, then gradually lessen as you get used to it & it burns off all the manufacturing oils & greases & 'cooks' as it cures the fibre sheeting. :thumbup:

And don't forget to enjoy all your ryding to the tune of a new sound track! :ohyea:
