• 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.

    A strange problem - engine stumbling and idling rough, now all sorts of codes - any ideas?

    Northern Cali. Well, there is a Pro Caliber in Bend, OR.

    A strange problem - engine stumbling and idling rough, now all sorts of codes - any ideas?

    Hey Hawk. We may not be able to fix it here, and I don't necessary KNOW transmissions, but long before you had any codes and long before you had a battery get fried, you had a dragging clutch. I think that we can all agree on that. You didn't mention otherwise so I assume it's still dragging...

    No bright headlights, dims work fine - any ideas?

    Appreciate the follow up. It’s always the simplest reason, right? You’ll love LEDs. (y)

    What are these Brake pad "liners" called and where can we order new ones?

    You have two 2013 Spyders. Starting in that year, BRP put the Brembo brake system on these machines. Calipers, pads and rotors. Most consider Brembo to be the best braking system on the planet. Thus, starting in 2013, there is no such thing as BRP pads and BRP rotors. They are Brembo calipers...

    No bright headlights, dims work fine - any ideas?

    Still, I’d do the bulbs first. Good luck.

    No bright headlights, dims work fine - any ideas?

    The OP very clearly said that when he selects Hi beam, that both headlights go OUT. Obviously, can't be a shutter problem. The F3 doesn't have shutters, anyway. The 2018 F3L North America version - utilizes a duel filament bulb and two relays. One for Hi Beam and one for Low beam. When Hi beams...

    Anyone know what is in the Air Damper "Kit"?

    Maybe you guys should just Google things first... the bag and a fitting is a "kit". Don't assume anything. You know what they say about that... https://leadersrpmshop.com/can-am-new-oem-spyder-rts-air-dampener-kit-219800175/?srsltid=AfmBOoq0jarAULFhW9wjYhoA-jn0Lso1X-zhf_cyaoxoY0OpAZV96bn0 Now...

    Is 15.4v while the engine is running good for Battery charging?

    Well, ok. One more word, if the battery is dead or almost dead, don’t use your motor as a battery charger. It’s a magneto on yours, not an alternator. It causes high current out of your stator for a prolonged period of time, and can result in overheating and stator failure. Bring the battery...

    Is 15.4v while the engine is running good for Battery charging?

    Before you get to carried away, is there any more to the story? Folks don't typically just randomly check on their battery voltage. Plus, you need to test the charging system the correct way. First and foremost, remove your battery connections and make sure that the contact area is clean...

    Engine smoking and burning lots of oil - anyone pulled an engine?

    This thread should help. Good luck. https://www.spyderlovers.com/threads/clutch-assist-kit-from-brp.88544/

    Engine smoking and burning lots of oil - anyone pulled an engine?

    The RT SM6 clutches had a vacuum assist. Officially known as Pneumatic Assist. The F3 clutches did not. Oh, they still had the diagram, but it was simply vented to the engine air intake. There was no solenoid valve with the vacuum line to the engine manifold. Compare the two parts diagrams...

    2023 RT Side Luggage won't open any hints/help please?

    If the latch lever lifts up, but feels as though it reaches the end of travel before the door unlatches, then yes, it's just a cable adjustment. You won't even need a screwdriver. Lay down on the floor and look up unto that open area behind the latch. The cable adjuster is up in there. See Pic...

    Springtime Pre-flight Inspection - don't skip over the first brake fluid change!

    Don't skip over that first, two year brake fluid change when due. 2023 after two years. Used a quart.

    My '21 S2S rattles quite badly for a few seconds after ~5 months layup start - any way to spin the motor without starting?

    Hey Flier, and anyone interested. Take a moment and Google or ask AI, about the term "clear flood mode". It's standard programming in pretty much any fuel injected engine's ECU. Motorcycles, passenger vehicles, whatever. (No, I don't know about race cars.) It does what it says. Even though rare...

    Parking brake light comes on & brakes lock up - UPDATE!

    Hey OT51 - On-line parts suppliers usually sell the parts at MSRP like the dealer. If I just want to look at an exploded parts diagram and find a part number, I go straight to the source below. Once I have the part number, sometimes a dealer has an eBay or Amazon store and you can score free...
