• 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.

    Thinking about buying a Can Am - looking for advice??

    I have both a 2019 Ryker Rally and a 2014 Spyder RSS. For you two, Spyder.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    Thanks. I guess the graphic is that of a solenoid. I will check headlight aim. I'm also installing a pair of Denali aux lights.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    The service manual wiring diagram has this high beam bulb graphic, but I don't know what it means. The manual text does not address this at all.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    How do you access the high beam lamp on the projector headlamp? Low beam is obvious. Low beam is H7; what is the high beam bulb? I bought a 2014 RSS used. I rode at night for the first time, and the lighting was terrible. It appears the owner installed these LED low beam lamps, and they are...

    Spyder RS 2012 SE5 VSS failure

    With those error codes all over the place, it suggests a more systemic problem than a single sensor or module. One more battery check with your multimeter is to measure voltage while cranking. A SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) problem can cause a VSS fault. You need BUDS to rezero it, but one Ryker...

    Is there a good source for Lower grill panels, hopefully OEM?

    I recently bought this 2014 RSS with many body parts missing due to a minor crash. Here's how I found parts. Look up part numbers here: https://epc.brp.com/. Do a search on the part numbers that you need. You will get hits on new parts if available and used parts on eBay. Many of the new parts...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    As per my earlier post, there is an electronic switch (probably a MOSFET) in the TCM that makes a ground connection to activate the solenoid. Because this electronic switch has a high impedance path to ground when it is off, you are going to see 12V with a meter connected to Pins 1 and 8 as you...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    The solenoids are activated by current. For the forward shift solenoid, battery voltage is present at Pin 1. Pin 8 is open. To activate the solenoid, the TCM connects Pin 8 to ground to complete the circuit. If you connect a test light to Pins 1 and 8, you should see a flash of light when the...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    So oil pressure is likely fine. Your test results puts the forward shift solenoid in question, or some electrical problem with the forward shift solenoid. I would try to test for voltage to that solenoid when it should be activating.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I think you need to use one that will bleed the line. Maybe you can find another. I would start with verifying that the solenoids are working before moving on to suspect low oil pressure. If you got an inexpensive gauge, like this one...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    From what I understand, what you call the "return" line is connected to a valve to bleed the gauge's oil line. Per my maintenance manual, the test is to read the pressure while the clutch is activating. If you test with air in the line, the reaction time of the gauge is slowed, as the air in the...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    The problem is the drain plug hex is "stripped" so I can't get the correct size wrench inserted. I could try forcing one in with a hammer. I may also try cutting a slot in the plug with a Dremel and use a manual impact tool with a screwdriver bit.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    That's exactly the way it works. Based on all that you have said and we discussed, it would be good to check the oil pressure.

    What does it feel like when the Nanny takes over?

    I had an issue on my Ryker where the nanny would kick in on left turns way before right turns due to equipment failure. It felt like a wobble, most likely one front wheel brake pulsing and possibly reduced power to the rear. Did not really feel like loss of steering control, but then the Ryker...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    I got the rear tire mounted and balanced and reinstalled. I've driven a few times and ran into a few problems. I did an oil and filter change. The oil tank drain bolt was really stuck. I was using a 3/8" drive ratchet to remove it, and I thought that I was going to break the wrench. It finally...
