• 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.

Squeaky belt?

I've been researching the squeaky belt issue and ran across a post that mentioned the original "squeaky belt' for the 998, and a revised belt that I guess was more quiet. Anyone have any info on this?

Don't know. ..!!

What I do remember is the solution was to put a dolup (pea size) on the center rear sprocket and walla... belt was quiet. Now I do not know if it works my 2012 RS has not had this issue. Unless that tid bit about an improved belt is true and they are not paying for it .... go for the grease bit....:thumbup:
 
About the grease...I know the service guide says to use a certain BRP grease, but I am using a Valvoline synthetic grease on mine. It seems to work for a week or so, and then the squeaks come back. What type of grease is everyone using?
 
grease

i have a 2012 rt limited and had this noise on the left side, just on acceleration. i got kinda worried so i took it to the dealer and a mechanic came out with a finger full of white grease, put it on the belt and noise was gone. i asked what it was and he said a special grease that brp has just for this problem. i asked if i could buy a tube and he said its $150.
i said thanks a lot and left.
