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.

Tire Pressure
Dealer had mine set at;
15 PSI - Front
25 PSI - Rear
Shocks - Level 3
After much reading and testing on my own for ride quality, I am set at;
18 PSI - Front
26 PSI - Rear
Shocks - Level 5 - Rear airbag setting at 3/5 (default).
This gives me a decent cross between a sport feel for the twisties, and a nice smooth cruiser at speed.
A little experimentation is in order with this as well, not everyone's ride will feel the same, and ultimately, it's your @$$ in the seat mile after mile.
Good luck, and welcome to the Web.

You are being told conflicting answers because everybody has a bit different idea what works for them. Most of us have found something a bit higher than the factory recommended pressures gives better handling. I would recommend that you experiment a bit and see what you prefer. Most RT owners like 17-20 front and 25-30 rear. I usually run 18/28 on my RT, while we run 20/30 on Nancy's GS.
Remember that tire pressures are measured cold, before riding and several hours after a ride. For safety's sake, do not go below the 15 psi minimum printed on the front tire sidewalls, despite BRP's recommendation of 13-15 psi.
