• 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.

    F3S SM6 showing check engine light/message randomly - any thoughts/ideas??

    A jumper. Made me look. Thank-You. Sure enough, the F3 has a dummy resistor installed where the Clutch Solenoid Valve (CSV) goes in the harness. Steps 10 and 11 in the document. That would do it, Luke. I'm sure that you'll like clutch assist, but if they can't get the parts any longer, there's...

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    No Racoon. This isn’t that add on unit at all. It’s only just 40 bucks. All this unit does is eliminate the need to use a physical cable between your phone and the Spyder, like the one you currently use. A person still uses the built in CarPlay on the Spyder. It’s just a convenience thing if a...

    F3S SM6 showing check engine light/message randomly - any thoughts/ideas??

    Hey Luke. The 2015 F3 SM6 was produced without the vacuum clutch assist that the RT SM6 machines had. Due to popular demand, BRP came up with a “kit” that could be installed as a retrofit. It made the clutch pull effort easier if the engine is running. Interesting, nobody at the time complained...

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    Thank you. This accessory plugs into the USB port of the Spyder and eliminates the need for that USB cable by establishing a WiFi link to your phone in place of the cable. I thought some would be interested in eliminating the USB cable if it worked. I searched but wasn’t aware of other posts on...

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    To be clear, I have NOT tested this on a Spyder. Just an FYI if there are any takers out there. PS. NOT an add-on CarPlay unit. Just eliminates the USB cable for the existing CarPlay function. https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/airfly-drive-black

    Any hints/help for Installing a Garmin XT3 Zumo on a Spyder?

    So, now that that's out of the way, the switched GPS power port exists on the right hand side - as you're sitting on it - of the bike. As was said, powered from the 5a fuse F6 in the Right Side fuse box - as you're sitting on it. The F7 slot is empty on purpose. To access the power lead, here's...

    Any hints/help for Installing a Garmin XT3 Zumo on a Spyder?

    No they're not. The 2026 machines are the same as the rest of the 2020+ machines. Pictures of a 2026:

    Anyone know/share the part number for a Reverse light for 2022 RTL? Broke mine today.

    710007005 is correct. Remove that rear panel.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    As I said, it’s difficult to initially know a person’s experience level. Thank you for filling that in. Looks like you have things well under control. Good luck.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    There’s a couple of reasons why the evap system for the 1330 doesn’t cause any run-ability issues. The biggest one would be location. A canisterectomy on the 1330 is not necessary.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    So, to reset the table a bit - understandably you're sensitive to this after doing that maintenance. But, this could have been nothing more than the gas smell coming from a vehicle passing in the opposite direction. However, not knowing what you already know, my intention was to make sure you...

    His signature line is there right above the map, in the typical light gray. Been there the whole time. Get your cataracts done.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    Any vehicle with an evap system (charcoal canister) has a non-venting gas cap. Or at least, non-venting from the inside out. If it was vented, that would bypass and defeat the whole purpose of having the evap system in the first place. The Spyder gas cap recall was for caps that had an O-ring...

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    Yes. That's BRP's name for the purge valve in the evap system. Train yourself up on system operation if necessary, I'm not going to take up the space here. The valve is normally closed at startup and until you reach highway speed. So, if it is intermittently sticking closed on you, that would...

    What could cause a fan like noise when shifting into gear from N?

    Both sounds will. As soon as you shift into 1st, the logic is satisfied to allow the air pump to run, if necessary. It will stop running after the rear suspension reaches it's programmed ride height. The alternator shaft squeal is caused by the slipper clutch on the shaft slipping prematurely...
