• 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.

    Anyone replaced the entire Electric Windscreen mechanism on a 2023 RT?

    Why in the world do you need to do that?

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Hey Purple. I’m sure that the old, defective sprockets have been thoroughly purged from the system. Besides, they were a completely different color - black. Pretty obvious if one got loose at the factory. Under the circumstances, I believe that the BRP Mothership will want the dealer to send...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Since the recall period, I can't remember a single case that has been reported on here, of a catastrophic sprocket failure on a new machine... until now. So, I'm feeling that this is one of those manufacturing or assembly defects that just come along once in a while. Not a fleet problem. The...

    Looking at installing F3 handlebars on an RT - can I use F3 handlebars pre 2024?

    I spent a couple of minutes looking at parts diagrams and part numbers and I'm not quite sure what your dealer was saying or why you think F3 handlebars would be better? In 2023, both the RT and F3 handlebars are 3-piece. In 2024, both of them are 1-piece. I didn't understand the dealer's logic...

    Looking for a 2008 GS Master Key - any ideas?

    No. Not saying that. BUDS is not used for key programming prior to 2014. You buy that key that I linked to up above. It has a blank chip in it. You go to your locksmith and get that key cut to match your BRP key that already works. Then you have your locksmith CLONE the blank chip in that key...

    2014 RT with intermittent buzzing noise - any ideas on what it might be?

    Not the fuse, the relay. The relay starts and stops the compressor. It doesn’t feed anything else. It’s the same as unplugging the compressor, just easier to get to. You may or may not get a suspension warning light. But, that’s just a light. No control functions. And realistically, surprised...

    2014 RT with intermittent buzzing noise - any ideas on what it might be?

    If you want to Slime the airbag, that’s fine. But, just get in there so that you are adding directly to the bag and not to the Schrader valve. If it is the bag, the leak is most likely around the base of it where all the little stones congregate and wear a hole. Just know that there are other...

    2014 RT with intermittent buzzing noise - any ideas on what it might be?

    No, you can't turn it off at the dashboard. Don't know where they got that. You can tun it off in BUDS. Without BUDS, go into your left side fuse box - left side as you are sitting on the bike - and pull Relay R4 - suspension relay. See Pic. Easier to get to than the air pump plug. To...

    What do these fault codes mean? V0416; C006C; C003A

    It's like we said before in your earlier thread on this Russell. One to which you never gave an update on. (Help us to help you!) First off, it's U0416, and not V0416. And it's a general code for "Vehicle Speed Not Plausible". So, it's still relating to your speed sensors. Do you still have the...

    Doing a DESS disable with a wire on a 2010 RTS SE5 - is the antenna no longer needed?

    Yeah, one of your fellow country-men posted a video in both English and French on this about 4 years ago. I assume that's the one you are speaking of. Never did it myself, but even your written write up says that the DESS antennae is not used. So, don't use it. I don't believe that anything...

    Changed the oil, now stuck in Limp Mode, Code P0524! What's wrong??

    So, P0524 is, in fact, Low Oil Pressure. But the thing is, that the V-Ttwin has only one oil pressure switch. And it is literally a switch. It's either open or closed. Thus, it is contradictory that the Low Oil Pressure warning light would go out, and yet you would have a Low Oil Pressure Code...

    Will the BRP Vacuum clutch assist help with the hard pull clutch on a 2008 V-Twin?

    I assume that you have compared clutch force between engine running and engine not running, and finding no difference? And BTW, the 998 will use more oil than what you would normally expect. That's normal for that engine. But, if the clutch pneumatic diaphragm is damaged, it will REALLY use a...

    Will the BRP Vacuum clutch assist help with the hard pull clutch on a 2008 V-Twin?

    The 2008 came with vacuum assist - more specifically, pneumatic assist. See below, right from the 2008 shop manual. Start taking panels off. Would suggest that you check for proper solenoid and switch operation. Make sure that no vacuum lines have been plugged off. Clutch hydraulic service, etc...

    What do these fault codes mean? V0416; C006C; C003A

    AFTER you find and repair the problem that caused the codes in the first place, start up and ride off. These codes will reset on their own.

    What do these fault codes mean? V0416; C006C; C003A

    It's most likely U0416 and not V0416, right? This relates to your rear speed sensor and the speed signal from it being implausible. Did you do any work back there? Change tires or brakes? Damage/remove the sensor? This thread, link below, even identifies that dirt clogging up the hole that the...

    "Before operating read safety card" message will not go away, parking brake staying on - anyone had this happen? How did you fix it?

    The 2019 has 2 SAFETY RECALLS. Front sprocket and transmission output shaft - depending on mileage. You can look at the front sprocket and see the color. The replacement is light silver-ish gray. The black or white one is incorrect. Transmission shaft and software update (software update is not...

    "Before operating read safety card" message will not go away, parking brake staying on - anyone had this happen? How did you fix it?

    The INDICATOR - yes. OPERATION - no. What there is, is that - on some Spyders - a Low Brake Fluid Level will light up the same warning light that the parking brake uses when it's engaged. But, there is no fluid level logic that prevents operation in either direction, which was the OP's issue -...

    "Before operating read safety card" message will not go away, parking brake staying on - anyone had this happen? How did you fix it?

    For the sake of accuracy, the parking brake on Spyders is mechanical. It doesn’t need brake fluid. But yes, because the parking brake moves the piston in the rear caliper, you can “feel” that if you have your foot on the brake pedal. But, it doesn’t use brake fluid to operate.

    "Before operating read safety card" message will not go away, parking brake staying on - anyone had this happen? How did you fix it?

    In that model year time frame, there were service bulletins for both the parking brake motor and the left hand multi-function switch. If your Mode button does nothing, then I think you are correct - that the switch has gone belly up. IIRC, on the F3, the switch can be replaced without needing to...

    Display randomly switches from color to monochrome (and back) - anyone else? Any fixes?

    An F3 Limited has the 7.8 inch wide display, right? Go into your display settings. It’s probably in Automatic. It’s light sensitive. And yes, too sensitive. Pick light or dark if you prefer.
