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.

New switch replacement
The replacement turn signal switch finally arrived after a five month waiting period.
the dealer replaced it Saturday and I have to say this, it is a big improvement over the old one. Smoother to operate. The driver cancel function works fantastic over the original switch!
It took the tech almost four hours to put it in and verify that all the functions were working correctly.?I
this closes my part of this thread for now.

The unwieldy canceling is a common problem with a lot of Can Ams and I would think BRP would have come up with a solution by now. With the price of new ones costing over $400 plus 2-3 hrs installation, I can see why they want to ignore it.
I would be happy if they would issue some software to allow the self-canceling to be shortened to about 15 sec instead of the 20? or so it now takes. I had a '70 Yam once that worked on the principle of something like 200 feet or 15 sec whichever came first and it wouldn't canc as long as the bike was sitting still, like at a light or waiting for a turn. This system was perfect in my eyes and I rarely ever had to canc a signal....it took care of itself.

Ted,
Do you really want the computer taking over more functions? :shocked: :roflblack:
It's just my opinion, but I feel that this is a mechanical issue with how robust the switches are inside the houseing. I agree; it should seem to be a simple thing to modify so as to provide better "feel" for the rider. That way, the'd know that signals were initiated or cancelled.

Some help..!!
We have an RS so I feel for the problems RT's are having with the turn signal switch. What I did to help with the visability of the turn signals was add a light for the left and right signals. (Gene's mods) Now I know witch one is on and if it is on. I know this does not help with the cancelling issue. :thumbup:

This does not work on my 2016 RT-S.The only way my turn signal will cancel is to push the turn signal switch in the middle which 50% of the time also turns the right turn signal on. BRP you should be ashamed. Selling a $30,000 bike that doesn't auto cancel their turn signal. What a pain in the butt.
My left turn signal switch appears to have failed on my 2015 RT-S with 10k miles. Doesn't work at all. My husband was at the dealer today ordering the switch for the left side and on his way home, had trouble with the right turn signal switch. From the history of this thread, it appears to be a problem that just doesn't get fixed. (The dealer said it was the second turn signal switch repair they've had this week.)
Has anyone had any response from BRP or do they just foist this off on their dealers and vehicle owners?
