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.
What are the 2020 RT light bulb part numbers?
- Thread starter BeRight
- Start date
Maybe also front fender turn signals, brake/turn lights (maybe 1156s)

Odd that BRP would not go with LEDs at the rear of the machine. I certainly prefer them back the for obvious reasons. Maybe someone will come up with an after market.
:agree: It's 2020 LEDs should be standard everywhere.
I can't find anyone that provides LED rear brake lights (hopefully others have and pass on there knowledge. They are available for all other Spyder's and Rykers - just not RT's - must be to small a market. A boat load of accessories are available for the Ryker line.
I would imagine they sell Rykers like hot cakes (relative to others models) and it is easily modified by owner.

Unless BRP changed how they do lights with the 2020 RT, which I seriously doubt, the RT brake and tail lights have always been LEDs.

Sure hope so, would be nice to know. However, they do look very bright at night or so wife mentioned when she was following. Daytime, not sure.

If you look at the wiring diagram LEDs are depicted with a triangular diode symbol. Bulbs are depicted with a traditional light globe symbol.

I agree. My 2014 RT were LED. I had not checked my 2020 RT, but beleive they are.
It would be good to know about rear led's or not - they did skimp on some things with the 2020 and it wouldn't surprise me if Led's were eliminated everywhere else when headlights were made LEDs.
1. front fender rear red reflector (tape - not even a real bolt on plastic reflector)
2. side body panels one piece length of body - a little tough to handle single handed - plus allot of snap in slots. Personally not a fan of snap in's - prone to wear and tear, prone to vibration rattling noise.
3. Handlebars not working for many riders - most switching to F3 or F3T + some using 2" risers in addition - Lowest price can-am model Rykers have adjustable handlebars and foot rest/brake pedal - but not the highest price models RT-RT limited - go figure.
I agree with Lamonster who stated plus and minus's with 2020 model.
Oh- and I am tentatively scheduled to pickup a new 2020 next Friday - so I'll report back with bulb info if no one else posts here before hand. And yes I do appreciate the additional features the 2020 RT offers which is why I ordered one: adjustable windshield/driver seat release for gas cap/panel switches/LED headlights/etc.

BeRight,
I am the opposite when it comes to the way the panels are fastened. Having worked on ST, RT's, and F3's I find the new 2020 RT so much easier to remove and replace panels, and I don't need to remove a mirror to do it like pre 2020 RT's. Just did the 3000 mile first service (at 1500) due to up comming trip.
I also installed LED lights in the front fenders, Garmin XT GPS on the dash, power connector for heated jacket/battery charger, and rear LED brake/running lights on the rear of the top box. I have had the panels off a few times already and they snap in tite.
The one thing that I don't like is how shaky the mirrors are, but a fix is on the way. I will report on that once I have them installed and get a few 1000 miles on it which should happen in the next month of riding.
