• 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.

Well, I finally broke down and took the bike into the dealer on Tuesday for a few items.
6000 mile service
small oil leak..I could not find the source of the leak but it is very slow..just droplets on bottom.
check engine light..err 522 or something like that.
coolent leak, have no clue where it came from and why now after 7000 miles.
Took my old brake pads in to the dealer to show how the fronts did not have any wear. I had talked with BRP and they stated they would replace them for free if I found them not worn.

So the dealer called me back today, they are really trying hard to make this relationship work as I bring them plenty of other business.

They can't find the oil leak either but it may be around the pressure sensor which needs to be replaced anyway so the part is on order.
The coolent looks like a loose hose that they will tighten and check again after running it warm. It only leaked when running warm.

As for the brakes..this is a bit crazy but it will work out. I put on my new pads just under 100 miles ago. They have been working great with no to very little noise. Only when backing up. So the dealer called BRP and stated they will not warrenty the pads and pay me back since I did the install myself. Umm..OK. They will pay to have NEW pads put back on and give me back my old new pads and the old pads I gave them to compare. BRP will pick up the tab on all of this as well. Interesting turn of events, so I get the new pads put on for free and get my new ones back..lol. Silly if you ask me but sure.

The sensor is on order so it will be at the shop for a few days until they get it in. Glad it is raining all weekend..lol. I hope all things work out.
Now back to my search for this stupid egg.

Looking for the stupid egg reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Mr. Pitmen could not see the picture change while starring at it for days and letting his biz go to :cus: :2thumbs:
 
Yes...oil drip possibly originating from the airbox.
Coolant leak has been traced many times from the filler cap itself not being fully secured.
