• 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.

    On/Off severe misfire due to one bad sparkplug on my 998.

    Not a bad plug but lots of bad plug leads.

    Front sprocket blocked - how to remove?

    Yes :agree: , the first few years of production were a concern, then the higher bolt torque seemed to virtually eliminate it until the triple cyl donk hit the road. Memory of history is hit & miss or too short. The evidence is in the TSB - which was generated (the very same month I joined this...

    Front sprocket blocked - how to remove?

    Proper maintenance is important but that's irrelevant when considering the reliability of the drive pulley. I've had my Spyder for 12 years and 100,000km and it is reliable - other folks not so lucky no matter what maintenance has or hasn't been done. Drive pulley failures started soon after...

    Front sprocket blocked - how to remove?

    Well done GI. Reliability sure ain't Spyder's strong point but folks keep buying them. And as long as they continue to do so at the current rate BRP ain't gunna get their collective knots in a ball over a 'wear item' like the drive pulley. History has shown that to be the case. :banghead:

    New White Pulley fitted on 2015 F3-S - already has red dust!

    Did you cut the fuel filter open as suggested? Its contents may give an indication of what's inside the pump inside the tank before you take the tank out to access the pump.

    Fram - G6400; WIX - 33310 or 33023; Ryco - Z200 Was the one you got plastic? Getting the fuel pump out is something of a mission.

    Use a hacksaw to cut the filter open.

    Error Code C1282 on 2012 RSS SE5 + Fuel issues/no start?

    Only done 800 miles eh??? While you have the fuel filter off, turn key on momentarily to see what come out. Many cars take a 5/16" metal fuel filter with barb fittings - that's what I use; larger but fits in there well.

    Error Code C1282 on 2012 RSS SE5 + Fuel issues/no start?

    I think it's already been asked - but do you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds with key ON before starting? Probly not - so that's some checking for the reason ahead of you.

    Error Code C1282 on 2012 RSS SE5 + Fuel issues/no start?

    No you don't - one (or both) is missing. Did you check at all the relays are tight and fuses ok as previously suggested? Spray some starting fluid into intake while cranking and report back.

    Unplug the two connectors from the PC V harness and plug the Spyder harness back into the fuel injectors to get the PC V out of the circuit. See if your engine starts then. PCV earth good connection is also critical.
