• 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.

    2014 Spyder RT Ltd missing at just above an idle - any recommendations, other than spark plugs?

    Well, you need to do your entire 28K service, even if some things are a PITA... and even if they are expensive if you have a shop do it. Ron recently started a thread explaining why changing plugs at 28K may have merit. Especially because you are having performance issues. It's not just about...

    Have any of you added an Aux Tank to a 2020+ RT?

    In this system, the fuel pressure regulator is an integral part of the fuel pump. It's not out on the fuel rail. It functions as a back-pressure regulator on the return line - modulating return line flow to regulate system pressure. During operation, the entire system, including the return line...

    Have any of you added an Aux Tank to a 2020+ RT?

    In other vehicles and applications without a separate tank vent, that is the vent line that goes to the charcoal canister. This port is blanked off, or just not drilled out at all, for the Spyder’s pump module. There’s nothing on it externally to blank it off, and it’s not open to atmosphere...

    Can't get it back into ECO Mode - am I missing a step, or is it dealer time?

    ECO Mode slows down the throttle response time and limits total throttle opening to 60%. Is said to cause carbon buildup on valves. Recommend not to use.

    Can a Used ECM be married to a bad one without BUDS?

    No, a number of sensors need to be married to the replacement ECM, using BUDS. And besides that, without BUDS, how do you know that you have a bad ECM, anyway. Is this about the 2012 RS?

    How do I adjust the headlight aim left to right (horizontally) on my 2016 RTL? Any hints, directions?

    Correction to the above, courtesy of the 2016 Operator’s Guide; - US/North America Spec: One brass adjustment knob per side. Upper headlight assembly up/down. - European/Australian Spec: Two brass adjustment knobs per side. Lower headlight assembly up/down. Upper headlight assembly up/down...

    Oil Leak on 2023 RTL caused by oil filter cap O-ring...

    Well, if he used a non-BRP/XPS oil change kit, where all of the O-rings in his were black and he got them mixed up, then there's also an incorrect one on the Engine Drain Plug. The thin one that was supposed to be on the filter stick. One that's too thin for the drain plug.

    Found some codes on my 2024 Spyder RTL - P195B, then BUDS revealed more...

    So, some background information about codes. A fault code can exist in two states - Active and Occurred. The only time a code lights the light is when it is actually Active. And of course, that could be only for a second or two... or less. You won't see the light on unless you ride around...

    2019 F3 T - How to access the bolt on the front of the rear caliper? Exhaust and brackets are in the way.

    Remove the muffler. One bolt, one clamp, no gaskets. That's the procedure. Piece of cake.

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I was going to stay out of this, but... It's not the bearings or gears that are squealing, not a lack of lube. Parts #7 are spring washers, similar to Bellville Washers, that form a "slipper clutch", between the gear end of the shaft and the alternator end of the shaft. It's there to prevent...

    Cruise control not working after replacing switch - does it need to be coded with BUDS to work? Any ideas?

    Hey AJ. Just checking on the obvious here - when you tried out the cruise control you were going faster than 25 - 30 MPH, right? Next, because you have a shop manual, you can read how the cruise works. The switch commands from the cruise switch on the right hand side, are sent to the left side...

    Voltage going down as I accelerate, even with a new battery! Code P0562. What has happened?

    Could that code have been P0562? Hopefully, you got a Yuasa YTX-24HL. Anyway, we've said it on here a million times. Before you replace a battery, you have to give it an activation charge with a battery charger. It takes close to 20 hours at 2 amps. Dealers and stores don't take the time to do...

    How do I replace a 2012 RT right turn lamp?

    So, understand that it is an LED array, not a light bulb. About 160 bucks new. Part number 710001511. Used ones on eBay sometimes. The mirror shell is held together with tabs clicking into slots. It wasn't originally meant to be owner replaceable. Disassembly is not covered by the operator's...

    2024 will not start after long ride then parked for 1 hr - Anyone else? What fix?

    Yeah. They call it the Bleed Valve. It’s that solenoid valve between the charcoal canister and engine. It’s been called the Purge Valve in the US vocabulary, regarding the Evaporative Emission Control System, as long as I can remember. Because, that’s what it does - uses engine vacuum to suck...
