• 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.

    Stalling 2016 RT Spyder - any ideas?

    How many days and miles were between Ran fine and yesterday? What was happening with your Spyder between those events -- was it in storage, were you making any modifications, did you have the bodywork to fuss with any wires, did you add gasoline (what octane and brand), etc?

    2014 RT - with paddle shift that shuts down engine! Any ideas?

    I'm still trying to understand your sequence of events. Your 2014 was working properly last Fall when you changed the oil (what brand and weight?). Your 2014 continued to work correctly for 300 miles whereupon you parked it, without any preparation, for several months during the winter...

    Filled with Gas and now getting Error Codes C0063 and C006C - Twice!! Ideas?

    2014 RT - with paddle shift that shuts down engine! Any ideas?

    There's a possibility the clutch plates have gotten "grabby" while in storage. The following might help correct that: Verify the coolant level is correct (at or above the Cool mark). Start the engine and allow it to idle until you have 3 bars on the temperature indicator. Turn off the engine...

    2014 RT - with paddle shift that shuts down engine! Any ideas?

    I'm confused about the sequence of events here. Here's what it seems to be: Your 2014 was working properly several years ago. Then you put it into storage for "a couple of years". Then (When?) you took it out of storage and tried to operate it. You haven't described what "resuscitation"...

    2018 F3T will not downshift automatically - any ideas?

    Immediately change engine/transmission oil, engine filter and HCM filter. Contact BajaRon (a sponsor) for details and parts. Do not drive any further until you do this. You are at risk for damaging the clutch plates. You didn't say your F3 was an SE6 or SM6. You need to work on providing...

    Analog tach and digital tach were not jiving - any thoughts?

    My reading of posts on this forum and my personal experience points to the analog portion of the display (gauges and indicators) is more prone to erratic behavior while the digital portion either functions properly or doesn't functional at all. And also in my personal experience is the most...

    Starter switch not working all the time - battery maybe? Ideas?

    What is the nature of this failure? Do you push the button and there is no sound? Or you push the button, and you hear a click? Or you push the button, and the starter turns the engine over slowly? When did this failure begin? After winter storage or before then? Did the failure occur rarely and...

    Need help with P0740 code on '21 RT - looks like the clutch. Anyone?

    Prior to this fault code were you observing any flare on upshifts or downshifts, especially when during hot weather or slow traffic conditions? If you were clutch plates might be affected too. The HCM has its own pressure and scavenge pumps with a line pressure twice as high as engine oil...

    My ST has Two OBD ports - anyone know the difference between them?

    I can't speak to the ST but 1330cc Spyder has two diagnostic link connectors -- DLC1 for BUDS and DLC2 for Rotax. DLC1 is a Deutsch DT6 with five pins populated. While the Spyder uses CANBUS messaging extensively, it's use of OBD is limited to non-standard PIDs proprietary to Bosch. So while...

    Can-Am does some things right, others not so much

    Try another gas station, preferably with older pumps. The newest Shell pumps won't even let me start the fill. Besides the folks at older stations are more "interesting" especially weekend evenings.

    What size is the Fuel hose that feeds the filter?

    This is embarrassing. Asked a direct question and I blather on about whatever. Apologies. Fuel pressure hose says 9.5mm (3/8"). Fuel return hose is 5/16" (I can't find size on hose). However the WIX 33095 pressure side filter inlet and outlet are 5/16". All I can say is it works for me.

    What Max Temp Reading have you seen for ambient air on your Spyder?

    For 1st generation 1330cc Spyders, there are two air temperature and pressure sensors - manifold and ambient - input to the ECM. The ambient air temperature is sent to the instrument cluster via CANBUS. If both the fuel and coolant gauges are present, the instrument cluster emulates an analog...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    wcntech -- you want Baja Ron's spark plug kit. Not only the correct spark plugs for the 1330cc engine but also includes the thermal paste for the threads and the silicone lubricant for the seals.

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    :D:D:D So true but I was presenting possible failure modes that might help during discussions with the dealer. I too am baffled why/how the middle cylinder failure occurred so rapidly. And is the immediately previous oil change a coincidence or a cause? Unfortunately the oil has already been...

    1330cc 2015 RT SM6 Burning Oil - what are the possible causes?

    wcntech -- my question about spark plug insulator discoloration was for the portion outside the combustion chamber. The part inside is of course discolored, which you had stated before. My concern was leakage from the CC due to a break in the seal which could be caused by the CC-side insulator...
