• 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 Belt Noise

The drive belt on my 2012 RT is squealing a lot more than usual lately... especially in low gears when powering up. It has 23,000 miles, feels tight as usual and looks ok. Is it wore, time for new one? Not sure how to check for wear ...Wondering when others change. Thanks!
 
Grease it

TSB 2012-4. Put a dab of synthetic grease on a few places around the rear sprocket. As you ride it works around to cover all teeth. Of course this goes along with verifying all the belt specs are in spec. See post #9.

I’ve also tried some of that chain wax. Works well, too.

best thing I've found is a bar of soap. it works pretty good until things get wet and the suds begin.
