I recently purchased the Scootmods 8in fwd foot controls kit. Has anyone used this with the Baron crash guard? How's the fit?

Question for all of you - I am trying to use an OBD2 reader. I found the 3-pin white connector (located on front if the ECU) and have tried two different dongles (one Ancel and the other a random Amazon brand), but neither works. All fail to communicate. I have also tried two different OBD2 readers, but can't seem to get communication. I have tried this on both a '17 and '18. Links to what I've used:

I have tried these readers and dongles on my XSR900 (4-pin) and they work just fine. What am I missing?

For those looking to take the PMP exam, I hope this helps. I took the PMP exam this past weekend at a test center (first time). I opted for the test center as my home office is probably too elaborate to clear out, and my dog gets too needy if I shut the door 😅

Background: I retired in 2020, took a PMP course through Syracuse that same year, and had two PM civilian jobs since. I just joined a PMP sub last week and found out about Andrew Ramdayal (AR), David McLachlan (DM), and Mohamed Rahman (MR).

**Key takeaways** for exam prep:

- For those of us with prior service experience, don't apply any leadership skills you learned to THIS exam or ITS mindset. I REALLY struggled with this at first, but the MINDSET from AR, DM, and MR helped IMMENSELY.

- Don't spend too much time with charts, equations, or any other items that require rote memorization. Everyone's exams will be different, but they don't focus too much on these. Remember - MINDSET!

- I read the PMBOK. Don't do that. Find some study guides or "cheat sheets" on the /pmp sub or LinkedIn and focus on those topics (I used the Technical Institute of America "cheat sheet" from AR. It's 18 pages, but I only focused on equations and tips. If there was something I didn't know on the "cheat sheet," I referred back to the PMBOK).

- Did I mention MINDSET? Seriously, focus on that. Don't necessarily apply what you've learned in the real world, civilian or military. Don't let the military mindset creep in, it will seriously mess you up.

- No need to go through all 200 Ultra Hard Questions from AR. You'll nail the mindset about 20-30 questions in, then it becomes repetitive. You'll see a pattern. Also realize that the exam questions are NOT written this way. Also went through a few example questions from MR (same conclusion). Again - MINDSET!

• If you're not familiar with agile methodologies, study the process. You'll see some topics from in those YouTube videos I mentioned.

Hope that helps and best of luck.

Hope that helps, best of luck, and thank you for the resources I found here!

I'm doing exam prep now, reading up on the PMBOK Guide 7th Edition, notes, and practice exams on the PMI website. There are items that I'm seeing in the practice exams that are not covered in the PMBOK Guide and I'm wondering what I'm missing. Are there any other sources of information I should be looking at?
