• 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.

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Thanks for the info. I ordered one from Amazon and I will have it Friday. $23 compare to $114 OEM. I will drive the Spyder around town today to see if I have any more problems since I changed the hoses on the MAP and did the Canister thing. And when it happens I will watch the Tachometer for sure.

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    I did plug in the valve. I was planning on taking more pictures but I got so wound up that I totally forgot. The existing vent hose was long enough to plug in the filter and attached it next to the air box and I added hose to the other side and routed it to the front near the steering box. That...

    I will check. But, where is the crank sensor located?? I have no idea.

    I never paid attention to the rev count but I will when it happens again. Right now I did the canisterectomy and it is getting late here in Michigan.

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Just 5 minutes before the tow truck arrived I tried to start the engine again and it started. Cancelled the tow truck and drove back home without issues. Got the canister out, plugged the hose to the purge valve #19 and now trying to find a good place for the filter that goes on the line from...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    I just read the write up from BajaRon and also watched a YouTube video about it. It looks pretty much straight forward to seal the line #19 and reroute the line from the tank. Still waiting for the tow truck so I had plenty of time… lol.

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Here we go again. Started up this morning no problem, drove to the doctors office and when I got back out 50 minutes later she didn’t start… grrrr. I should say it tried to start but then died. Holding the throttle wide open and for 10 seconds and then tried again… nothing. I will wait another...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    How would I know? She started up fine today and I drove another 25 miles with 2 stops and every time she started up again… She started up this morning without any hesitation. Drove 25 miles with 2 stops. First stop after 1 mile to top of the tank and added some more Heet Injector cleaner and...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    So today started out good. I changed my 16 year old fuel filter... lol. I don‘t know why I never changed it before. I tried to blow thru it and it was really hard to do… I guess you can see why. New WIX filter installed and then I installed all the covers. Took the Spyder for a 25 mile ride and...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    So today I got my fuel filter WIX 33095 and I installed it. Siphoned last years gas out of the tank and added new premium gas. Also added Heet + injector cleaner/water remover. Started right up and drove around for about 15 miles. Stopped at a store nearby (just in case it wouldn’t start again)...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Hi Mikey. Thanks for the advice. I changed the spark plugs 2 years ago with the NGK DCPR8EIX Iridium plugs and they have been working fine. And yes it is a pain in the rear to get to one of them. Eliminating the air box would give access to many items for sure. I will check into it. Update: The...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Well… ignorant me. When some of you guys ask me if I had a code, I said no. I just assumed it would show up on the display. Now I realized that I had to push 3 buttons on the handlebar for the code to show up. It’s P0107. And now it makes sense. MAP Sensor, those cracked hoses... Today, I...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Well I finally can continue to check my Spyder. I installed the new battery and it started up after the 2nd try. After turning on the ignition I listened to the fuel pump and I think after about 6 to 8 seconds the pump stopped what I think is normal. I also have a new air filter installed...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Well I ended up buying a new Yuasa YTX24HL-BS AGM battery. That will eliminate the idea that it could be the battery. The only reason I think it was not the battery is that the engine died after 50 miles of driving. I was just shifting down to pull into the bank ATM and when I got into first...

    EdMat I always been told not to turn the throttle when starting. Didn’t know full throttle will turn off fuel and Ignition. I will try it next time.

    Peter Today I checked the battery and the connection's looked good. Attached my Fluke meter and checked voltage. Resting voltage - 13.2 volt Ignition on - 12.8 volt Than I used the min/max feature on my meter. Min voltage during starting - 9.4 volt Max voltage after starting - 13.4 volt Avg...

    Not too experienced on that. Where and what are the MAP hoses?
