Ok, here's the deal, I'm in fact recalling this correctly. Download the zip file to your computer, open the zip file, then drag the ISO file to your USB stick.

Windows sees ISO files as compressed hard drives, if you click on the ISO file within the zip file, windows will display the files within the ISO file.

So just open the zip file on your computer (do not open this ISO file), copy the ISO file to your USB stick.

I download the file to my usb memory stick but I'm still a little nervous about updating the GTS system. I'm thinking about everytime I get and update for the IOS on my iPhone, seems like something is deleted or added and it's a new learning curve. I haven't had any issues with the GTS on my 2019 RG, so I'm not sure about the update. Is there any disadvantage of not upgrading?

There have been some good fixes in the updates, especially to the navigation. I believe there have been updates for Carplay and Android Auto. The only thing I've noticed after doing an update is that some of the settings are changed. Only takes a few minutes to change back to the settings you had. Worthwhile to update.

i've updated both mine and my wife's 2019 rgs and have never had an issue. there was one update that did something and they released another update within a week or two. whatever it broke, it wasn't something i did often so i never noticed it. then they fixed it and i still haven't noticed it.

It is always a great idea to update. The updates will include things like new features and capabilities and almost always bug fixes.

So I worked up the nerve to install the new GTS update. Much to my surprise my 2019 RG had the MY21.20.28.00 software. If this is a NEW update, I don't understand how my bike already had it installed. I did buy the bike new in December. 2019. I've brought it back on the routine milage requirements and for the primary/trans oil vent fix but never for the GTS update.

Glad I have the new update. Guess I won't have to worry about it until the newest of new updates come out.
