    Default Juice box on 2008 Spyder rs

    Recently bought 2008 Spyder with 11,400 miles. Runs poorly from idle to 3000/3200. Changed the Two Brothers exhaust(too loud) to stock from 2015 RT. Did not affect poor running. Took side panel off and found Juice Box. Number one shows green, number eight shows flashing blue when in 50 MPH range. I have no instructions as all. Checked small tubes on side of throttle body, they are fine. I do not suspect plugs or wires at this low mileage. Surges a little at steady 50/60 MPH but pulls strong at full throttle.
    How do I go about trying to program juicebox?

    Most juice boxes that I have used have a straw in plastic stuck to the side.
    1. Remove the straw
    2. Unwrap the straw
    3. Use pointed end of straw to poke through the small hole on the box of the box.
    4. Place lips tightly around the other end of straw and suck to enjoy the fruity goodness.

    Sorry I could not help myself, I need five more posts for 1,000.

    Default Not sure

    If you went back to stock on the exhaust just get rid of the juice box it does you no good. I never used them on any exhaust I have used. As for the vaccum hoses did you check them well..?? They are tricky and change with heat and throttle response...

    The juice box was a lot of problems on the 08's. Read a lot of threads on the problems with them. Did not add mufflers or JB on mine. I kept it stock. No problems or issues.

    Hindle exhaust system was also problematic for most.

    Default a whaaaattt ?

    so I am guessing the " juice box " isn`t but rather ---> a vacuum type canister for gas fumes from exhaust ?

    Default if your cycle

    now you bought the cycle , had it been sitting a while ? bad gas ? or maybe the vacuum hoses are egged on the ends like mine were on a 2012 IMG_20171111_135739.jpgIMG_20171111_135824.jpgmy cycle ran rough at idle --- changed the hoses , and drained the gas , ( which I bought at an out of the way country store , which might have been bad from the tanks --- runs great again )
