A lot of good answers here, one thing we ran into at the shop on these was bad throttle bodies. Look for code 1614 which is tripped when the T-Bodies are of issue.

Contact ELka at 1-800-557-0552 and ask for the tech dept , let them know the situation. These folks can make those shocks work. Might have to do a little work but a lot less than new ones.

Have your dealer check as listed.
1---Inspect evap canister purge valve function. 2---Perform EVAP purge valve operational test as per fuel tank/fuel system section of shop manual. 3---If purge...

Happy we were able to help you out. Ride long and prosper my friend. :doorag:

DPS has been updated a few times. New # is 219800295 and it does work on both the 09 RS SE5 and 2010 RT SE5. The used 09 DPS will work on your 2010 RT. However check the DPS part number because if...

Well its a little complicated to explain how to seal. Requires removal of cam caps rear cylinder to access center portion of head where oil collects and is not sealed. Its this port that needs sealed...

really? Ok well thats an important thing to get done as we have seen several of the old trans filters imploded apon removal. All the filters have auto updated to new part numbers along with oil...

There is an area of the breather system that collects oil. This area is not sealed so once oil collects and fills this space it then blows into the air box. With this area exposed during a full...

Yes, It's been on both the RS and RT.

Simple as I can, over time the valve lash will begin to tighten up. If this clearance is allowed to become to tight (engine hard turning over is to tight by the way) the valves won't close fully....

Just an FYI for ya all,

Valve adjustments we find are needed in the 15 to 19k range. Intakes and exhaust both can get tight and we have shimed at least a valve on every full service we have done...

We have had a few customers put on juice boxes,commanders,ect ect and they just don't run well and toss around codes like mad. We do not have a dyno and thus can't tune them. We inform our customers...

Most of you know but its worth repeating. We are seeing (via diagnostic reports on our customer units) many Spyders that are being riden below 3000rpms during cruise. This is BAD,BAD and BAD. It can...

Yes they are on the 2012's and you can tell because they have a gray coating on the coggs.

Just an FYI that the drive belt has been updated, new part# 705501576. There is now a coating on the belt to help with noise. Not a recall just an improved part. Since these are $300 make sure if you...

We have seen the lower ball joint cotter pin hitting the wheel weights. You may want to take a look as we have fixed a handfull of these. There really shouldn't be any clicking you should notice.

Got some things in our parking lot. Just in case you wonder how a spyder comes from the factory, a little pic for ya. 41791

Here are all the color codes for 2012. Should be able to click on it and enlarge.

We have a good contact at colorite (his name is Steve) and I called him after I saw your post. He said if you would be willing to send him a painted part (like your glove box as an example) he will...

We have delt with this issue a few times now and without getting into boring detail and going on and on have your tech call us and talk to Randy. Randy Skeen is a true master on Spyders and Im sure...

We have spoken with BRP a lot about this vibration issue. It is important to understand this can easily be fixed if your dealer is willing to take the time and check. A good time to do it is during a...

Just replaced that old pc over the summer if you can believe that :D. It is hard to see the area where the craddle is but it can be done if you look from the oil bag side with the panel off and from...

[QUOTE=gypsy_100;399829]Hi Jeff. Glad you weighed in on this. Seems like you have done more of these than anyone else. Have you found an easier procedure than what I outlined earlier, that is the...

This is coved under warranty as long as your machine still is. 2010 RT's can also be effected as the motor mounts will settle even more after the left motor mount frame tab is notched. We have built...

Vibration may be due to the engine craddle hitting the frame. This is an issue and we have fixed several units. The problem is the engine mounts settle to far and on the 2010 RT a notch must be cut...

Kinda strange that everything was working fine until you had the oil change issue? Check over everything you touched, may be related. Im curious as to how all the oil came out of the fill plug? If...

CONFIRM WITH YOUR DEALER THAT ALL THE CURRENT UPDATES HAVE BEEN DONE (T-BODY ACTUATOR UPDATE). IF THEY HAVE BEEN DONE THEN HAVE THEM LOOK INTO THE MAIN HARNESS PLUG AS WE HAVE HAD ONE FAIL AND THUS...
