• 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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Another one bytes the dust... Front Sprocket Failure - Red Dust!

    Yes, the white one was apparently invented by BRP to solve a problem that didn't exist - noise from the belt - while pulley failures, reliability and harmonic vibration from the belt remain factory fitted features. :bdh: :banghead:

    2020 RTL brake issue - it's eating rotors! HELP?

    Time to trade it in on yet another one. BRP loves repeat customers like you - it means that don't have to solve your promlems.

    Your thoughts on shifting and front pulley longevity wanted

    Opinions aside, the fact that front pulley failures is not uncommon, leaving folks stranded sometimes, is not a major worry for some - for others it is. The reliability of this issue has been a concern from day 2.

    Another one bytes the dust... Front Sprocket Failure - Red Dust!

    Reliability ain't Spyder's strong point. But then, folks don't buy em for reliability coz they rightly expect it to come with the product. This has been going on for 13 years.

    It is like putting lip stick on a pig! says Snorking. Yeah, the Spyder is an absolute swine of a thing when it's broken down - again.

    Front pulley bolt - reuse or replace?

    It's not my logic DSG, it's that of BRP engineers. As you say: That ain't how things work in reality. That's precisely why we're seeing so many failures in recent years. After BRP increased the bolt torque on the V2 engines in about 2011, failures on these engines were eliminated. Like...

    Front pulley bolt - reuse or replace?

    When the manufacturer says to do so, yes. This is somewhat common these days with stretch-to-yield head bolts.

    Unfortunately, regarding Spyders, there is a lot of misinformation that once started perpetuates to the level of incorrect but believed as fact, when it is entirely incorrect. said PMK. The above is one such example. The purpose of the bolt is to provide sufficient clamping force of the...
