• 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.

    Any alternatives for Discontinued Fuel Injectors for 2009 GS SM5?

    Hi Rat. A lot depends on the tech and his ability with the test rig. With regards to the 998, we’ve all learned over the years that there are a few other boxes to be checked, when it is rough and hard starting, before you dive into fuel injectors. [ ] Replace plugs and wires (BajaRon) [ ]...

    Any alternatives for Discontinued Fuel Injectors for 2009 GS SM5?

    In 2013, BRP changed the injector part number. Judging by the parts list diagram, it looks different and probably is not a substitute... and they were only 115 bucks. So, even though they continued to use the 998, they changed the injector design. But my little pea brain is just having problems...

    2023 RT Limited Oil Change Kit Confusion on Amazon

    Wille, there's probably an XPS oil change kit for every different BRP vehicle. If you want to stick with XPS, just take care to be looking at the correct one. Like this one. Part number 9779249...

    The compressor on 2012 RT doesn't run - any fuse? Where?

    Hey Drew. As Norwegian said, it is F8. The compressor shares this fuse with a bunch of other circuits. If your horn works, then the fuse is ok. There's a relay associated with the ACS system - Relay R1. But, it's hardly ever the problem, either. This thread, along with about a million others...

    P0351 error and Check Engine Light on - any help/advice?

    Well, searched for forum posts regarding that code. You read through them, also. #1 coil, no output. Running on one cylinder. The coil always tested good. Get it checked just in case, though. Appears as though ECM replacement was the fix on your machine. You might try unplugging and...

    Got a 'new' Strange Noise at Low Speed - any thoughts on what to look for?

    You sure about that? It's a factory installed part, although most call it a tensioner or a dampener. Mine came with one. Anyway, mine has been doing that, or something like that, since new. No adverse effects after a year. I chalked it up to the front brake discs rotating against the pads...

    What's going on with this Super-hot exhaust???

    Not at all sure what you are referring to Wood, unless you are thinking about the intake airbox. If so, that was a legacy issue with oil carry-over from the crank case breather. It would accumulate in the airbox, run down all over the place and make a mess, and could be ingested by the engine...

    What's going on with this Super-hot exhaust???

    Michael. On your exhaust system, the two header pipes from each cylinder come together into a common pipe, and then enter the muffler. So, it would only take one injector to be screwing up to get an overly rich mixture, not both of them. The muffler simply has two exit holes. They are not...

    Anyone have an idea about why my Tail-Lights are Staying on?

    If you have not had this recall done, it wasn’t your tail nights. It was your brake lights. Applies to all 2021 RTs. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCSB-23V175-2373.pdf If you have had the recall done, some techs have messed up the adjustment with the two jam nuts. So, if that is the...

    998cc Did Bad fuel cause additional problems? Ideas?

    Ok Spinna - let's reset this. Unless there was some other contamination problem, 87 octane fuel had nothing to do with it. It's the most commonly available fuel in North America. Of course, a Spyder can run on that. But, you made some decisions based on that which may not have been a problem at...

    998cc Did Bad fuel cause additional problems? Ideas?

    Well, It's North Carolina after all. Maybe he meant 83 proof. Now Back to Spinnadude - if you actually meant 87 octane, then everybody knows, 87 octane won't do to your 998 what you have described. There's more to the story. Fess up. I bet that you didn't actually need to replace your 02...

    998cc Did Bad fuel cause additional problems? Ideas?

    Did you really mean to say 83 octane? I don’t know what that is. But, if you did, that could be important.

    Spyder will not leave Neutral for reverse or forward - any ideas?

    At the top of the page where it says Home, Forum, What’s New, (etc), click/tap on Forum. In the list of Forums that appears, click/tap on the Forum you want to start a thread in. On that forum page that appears, look in the upper left for a big red button with black font lettering inside that...

    Spyder will not leave Neutral for reverse or forward - any ideas?

    LHS = Left Hand Switch. That multi-function switch cluster on your left handlebar. Bert wanted you to test all of the other functions besides the paddle shifter. There has been the occasional failure of that assembly. There was actually a warranty bulletin for the 2018 F3 on it. Fuse - see...

    What is the actual break-in mileage? First oil-change due when?

    There are restrictions on OPERATION for the first 600 miles. The first MAINTENANCE is at 3000 miles. Two different things. Not a contradiction at all. As far as your dealer goes….well, let’s just say he’s trying to empty your wallet. No advantage to an oil change at 500 miles. Just follow your...

    '21 S2S with Erratic windshield operation - Any ideas?

    By design, when you turn the key off, and then immediately depress and hold the UP button for about 5 seconds-ish (or longer), it cancels the auto retract. I always listen for that second relay click after the key is turned off. It is very faint. Then I know I can release the switch if I want to...

    Need help in Locating the Parking Brake Bracket Part Number? Anyone help?

    It’s really good to know what’s in that kit. Thank you for that. So, you played a hunch and look at that. You even got a new spring. Did you buy the lottery ticket, yet? Be safe and stay hydrated out there.

    Safety Recall Notice re brakes - that's probably caused my battery failure!

    Here's a link to the recall notice from BRP. The problem causes the brake lights to stick on at times. "If it hasn't done it by now, I wonder if it will ever do it" - How can you be sure it hasn't done it? Brake lights are behind you - just check on it and get it done. It's free...
