• 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.

    Completed my semi annual "lie on my back and add air to the rear tire" routine

    At next tyre change, have a 2" valve stem fitted. The extra length is flexible and helps when checking. Also ensure that the drive pulley is fitted to the wheel in the original (factory fitted) position. It fits into the wheel in 5 positions - only 1 gives easier access to the valve.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    I reckon you're over-thinking the issue. I have never heard of this same concern previously. Apply a couple of tiny dabs of grease to the edge of the belt perhaps and take it for a run and see what develops - that's what I would do, but you're not me. :roflblack:

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    Ride it forward a short distance, stop and check. I take the couple of tools with me to adjust it as needed each stop until correct.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    With respect Iso: Start her up idling in gear on the jack ... is not the way to check alignment.

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    The belt can't come of the front sprocket with flanges both sides. What you're smelling may not be the belt. I care because its binding real hard up against the outside flange. How did you determine that? I can understand that you care, but I don't think that there's anything to care...

    Recall done. Not sure they put the right sprocket on.

    If the belt can be got to track correctly on the rear sprocket, that's all that matters surely. Who cares where it is on the front? It can't come off. Sure it might get hot, but it's bolted to the engine.

    2016 F3T Reverse Actuator Part number confirmation please?

    That should be 710003776 - superseded to 219800522 surprisingly cheap I thought at $141 https://www.ktmhobart.com.au/part/canam/219800522#content

    2010 RSS with belt noise - will adjusting the back adjust the belt front pulley too?

    See item 2 below. Flange is on outside - opposite side to rear pulley, for obvious reasons. https://www.ktmhobart.com.au/partFinder/fiche/canam/2010/spyder-rs-roadster-sm5/drive-system-rear#next

    2010 RSS with belt noise - will adjusting the back adjust the belt front pulley too?

    That front pulley is fitted incorrectly. The flange should be on the outside.

    Do I Have A Lemon?

    Reliability is not the best feature of the Can-Am Spyder. Many folks buy them for the reasons you say that you may buy one and your wife probably did. It fills a niche market and a lot of folks buy (and some repeat and repeat) because the Spyder meets their desire to keep riding. Do more...

    Are the Front belt pulley bolts on 998 SE5's & 1330 SE6's the same?

    That bolt is no ordinary bolt - it has thread lock on it from the factory. Get the genuine item.

    Are the Front belt pulley bolts on 998 SE5's & 1330 SE6's the same?

    I seem to remember that the earlier bolt has a flange head and newer bolt has a normal hex head plus a hardened flat washer - but I stand to be corrected.

    Spyder Dies Momentarily - anyone else had this issue?

    Update: Since swapping a few relays around 6 months ago, the issue has not resurfaced - must have just been a poor connection on one of the fuses or relays I removed and replced.

    Should my GS be Dripping fuel after canister delete?

    I would say you have a leak from the fuel filter if they are the original dumb oetiker clamps, which cannot be snugged up - probly disturbed them while working in that area.
