• 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.

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    My first new car I bought was an AMC Gremlin X. What made it an X was a manual floor shift and extra wide raised white letter tires. This car was an absolute nightmare hydroplaning machine. When I replaced the tires from the "correct size" back to a narrower one, made a huge difference. Wide...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    A nice upgrade you may want to think about would be the 3 position side air wings. Really works great to cool you down.

    2015 RT - What Anti freeze besides BRP's brand is safe to use?

    If you are an Amsoil user for the oil (highly recommended here), they also make a premixed antifreeze labeled as powersports. I flushed mine with tap water and then with distilled water before refilling mine. I also use their coolant boost product also. Fans never run unless stopped or in heavy...

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    As mentioned by BajaRon, my Cam Position Sensor failed and I got a limp home warning. The plug when I removed it was full of oil.

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Just a thought. Have you changed your HCM filter lately and have you checked that the bolts were torqued correctly?

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Thank you for clairifying this for me. Hope mine don't fail as the sensor is very expensive.

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Yes. Normally the part# is a 9-digit number. Also, are we talking about the part that the parts diagram calls an "oil pressure switch"?

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    How bad was the oil leak? I have a 2016 RT with a short ton of miles. What was the part#?

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    The rear tire I am using carries a load rating of V which is I believe is 200-300 LBS higher than the OEM tire. If I ran it at 28# it would never heat up enough to get peak performance from it. I run mine between 15.5-17 depending on whether 2up or not. Of course I only weigh a buck 40. I don't...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    Go back and review post #7. It has been one of the best purchases I have made. It can be carried with you for a quick check to see if you are getting the 4 PSI increase

    Bad Vibration 2024 Can Am Spyder RT Limited - what can I do to improve my ride?

    The first owner of my 2016 RTL had a bad shake in the handlebars and the dealership could not balance the tires to get rid of the shake. They found the OEM Kendas were out of round. They replaced the tires under the BRP warranty. Fixed the problem. This is a known problem with the Kendas!

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

    I found the same thing with the short hose and replaced it when I replaced the filter the first time. On mine, the cracks were very visible. All the hoses today looked in very good shape. Thanks.

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

    I've done the Cat delete. The smell was before I started it, but the tank was exposed to the sun and was being warmed by it! I will change the gasket if I can find one, or cap if need be.

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

    I once again removed the TW, only removed more this time to check the hoses to and from the Cannister. All hoses were in good condition. I started the bike and checked the fuel delivery hoses and all stayed bone dry all the way, even the fuel rail and injectors. I ran the bike until I had 4 bars...

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

    I will address this with my own 3 paragraphs. The gas smell has only been detected 2 times. Each time it was right after start-up in my garage and only the vehicles that would have passed by would have been vehicles parked along the street in our extremely small subdivision on my way to the...

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

    The 2 times it happened the tank was well under 1/2. The manual shows to replace the canister the whole back end needs to be removed. Is this the case? What are the consequences of operating with a worn out canister. Can this wait until down time? Any way to check the function of this canister?

    I saw some posts about cap not venting, but I think my year and model uses a non-vented cap.
