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.

On the red RTS, yes the last couple of times we have gone out. usually weeks in between and cold out... after that initial shift it is normal.
The lag in between 1st and 2nd is severe... like throw you forward and then wonder if the bike died... and then power comes back and off I go.

It usually happens on the first shift where I'm at higher rpms, rather than slower starts...if that makes sense. I can leave my house and the maximum speed limit is 35, but when I get to the hwy and go from 1st to 2nd it hesitates..a lot, before kicking in.
Yep, that's what I experience.

Yes - 2013 RT SE
Hello again--I picked up somewhere here that I might be letting off the gas when shifting between 1st to 2nd, you know like you do when shifting a manual transmission car. So, I checked it out; it seems this was my problem. I have been making a conscious effort to keep the throttle on when shifting 1st to 2nd and voila--no problem. Whenever I do have a problem, it's always because I let off the gas. So at least that is explained/solved.

Hi - I'm experiencing difficult with getting my 2013 RT SE to shift from first to second--it's just very hard to do--I really have to hit it and still it sometimes won't go the first time. I also sometimes experience difficult with going from Reverse to Neutral to First.

My 2010 RTS with 37xxx mi has periods of stupidity where it will race like crazy from first then slam into second. had the problem a long time ago and guess it's back. Doesn't do it all the time and beginning to think it's MY problem not the bike. But due for a service so will have Cowtown check it out.

Hijacking this thread will not help you. You need to start a new thread and ask you own question.:thumbup:
