• 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.

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    2nd UPDATE: I changed the purge valve, when the new fuel filter was installed, no change... When the purge valve was changed, it does not hesitate or surge, but runs rough now... Have new coil, plugs and wires next... I used the screw in clamps on the purge valve instead of the crimp clamps...

    Key broke, what are my options..

    I think the easier solution is to pay $65 for a new programmed key... Your solution if that sounds like a needle in the haystack, plus when I resell the bike, not sure how the new owner would feel about the non security Thanks !

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    Update: ordered the purge valve, should be here by WED, i hope this could be the culprit, I assume i can use clamps that have the screw (same ones I used on the fuel filter), I hate those crimp clamps

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    Yes, when new gas was put in both times, it was doing the bogging down, etc.. First time, i drained it out and put fresh stuff in and seems to work, but after it got low again, i filled it up and same deal... I am checking the hoses for vacuum leaks, but they seem to be ok, but I might change...

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    So i took some photos, am i in the ballpark, --- Also, bonus, i guess the previous owner added a "juice box" into the mix.. I never did anything with it.. The bike has ran fine until this problem, so I dont think that has anything to do with it pics attached, thanks

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    i took most of the panels off, so next would be the air box and then i can access the throttle body and check the hoses from there?

    2009 SM5 Spyder hesitates and bogs down after Fuel fill up?..

    Maybe someone can figure this out, my bike was low on gas the other week, so i went to my local gas station, filled it up, within a mile or two, was bogging down and hesitating, I drove it home and got the gas out of the tank thinking bad gas... I then got some premium and some sea foam and...

    Fog Lights, my dumb question for today... 2009 SM5 Spyder

    I bought this bike about a year ago, the fog lights have never turned on, didn't worry about it ... Then I had to replace my fuel filter, so I took a few panels off and looked around while I was replacing the filter.. Bulbs are good, fuse is good, but no power ?.. I used my meter and no power...
