• 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.

I have a 2012 RT-S SE5 with about 150 miles on it. It pulls to the left at any speed above 20-25 MPH. Is this an alignment issue? I've checked the tire pressure and it was 12.5 PSIG cold. I bumped them up to 15 PSIG but have not ridden it since.

If it pulls consistently to one side, and does not dart and follow road variations, it is more likely something else. Could be a matter of riding on steeply crowned roads especially with low tire pressures), or it could be a steering sensor miscalibration. In that case your dealer should check and zero the steering sensors via BUDS. BTW, for safety's sake, you should not run less than 15 psi in the 2008-2012 front tires, no matter what BRP recommends. The minimum pressure on the sidewall is there for a reason. Most people run 17-20 psi in their RT fronts. You might want to try it with a bit more.
 
Thanks. Yea it didn't matter about road crown (translated I drove on all three sides of the road to test).

inflate front tires to 20 psi and try it again.. if problem still persists visit your dealer - its for real...
 
Hi John,
Another point to remember is that these bikes are pretty sensitive to side-to-side tire pressure variations. Try to keep them both as close to the same as possible! :thumbup:
I run 18 psi up front in mine...
 
Hi Bob,

I put 17 psig in the fronts (rear has been at 28 since the get go) and drove with a buddy around the hills of Swamp East Missouri all afternoon. We covered about 230 miles on up/down curvy back roads. So far it is the best that it has handled. I went slow so my buddy on his new Harley Trike could keep up...

When you put your Ron Swaybars on your RT what did you notice in the handling? I still get some side to side movement that I think should not be there...

I must say the 600 mile break in goes fast, by tomorrow I'll need to drag it back to the dealer for the service.

Edit: on the roads I drove on today I could not determine if it pulled or not...
