That's good to know. One less maintenance task.
Hello all, I am curious if anyone knows how long the Honda exhaust gaskets last? I installed them on my Spyder roughly 2 and a half years ago. I don't feel any crazy heat on my legs out of the...
You guys were right. A few shots of PB Blaster on the mechanism cleared it right up. Thanks for your rational solutions.
Freddy and YPILOT....thank you for your inputs. I will take a look at the assembly. I guess I was just assuming the worst considering the age of my Spyder. I have had it since 2011 and I guess its...
Hello all,
I have a 2008 GS SM5 that has a reverse gear issue. For some reason I am able to engage the reverse gear without using the R lever. As you all know you have to be in first gear, pull...
I saw a post on a Spyder Facebook page of someone mentioning the same symptoms. The fix for them was the throttle body gasket. Also their Spyder is the same age as mine and that compelled me to...
Hey there, I know this thread is old and you may not even own your Spyder, but I found that with my 08, the throttle body gaskets were causing the issue. They were old, dry rotted and cracked. I...
Well I can say I am not familiar with the SE5 as I own an SM5. And yes, I was able to replace mine without removing the front sprocket. There is just enough space to get a torx bit on the bolt...
I changed mine out without removing the front pulley. It takes a bit of wiggling, but it can be done. As BlueKnight mentioned, it will be easier of you disconnect the reverse cable It fixed my...
Have you checked the fluid level in the reservoir? My Spyder sat for a long period once and would do the same thing...surging forward upon startup. Someone on here suggested checking the fluid...
I own an 08. My only issue as of late is stuttering take offs, running lean, and rough idle at times. A post n the SpyderLovers FB group solved that issue. The throttle body flanges are prone to...
I know this an old post, but I was having the same issues and tried everything you mentioned to remedy it. I came across a post on the SpyderLovers group on Facebook that solved my issue. The...
Thanks sir. I should have realized thats where it is considering I removed the evap canister a while back. I did observe the bolt I used to plug the hose was backed out a bit. Snugged that up and...
Hi, can you point me in the right direction as to where the pPCV Valve is located? Thanks.
Yes sir, I will definitely let you know. Have you had any issues with the Gear Position Sensor on your GS? I am hoping this is the culprit and remove and replace fixes it. Thanks for replying...I...
Yes sir. And yet the issue persists. I may try the MAP sensor next. The GPS definitely needs to be replaced as it wont show the correct gear although I know exactly what gear I am in.
Did the original poster ever find out what the cause is? I am having the exact same symptoms on my 08 GS SM5. I also did everything the OP did to fix it without success. The only thing I can think...
Hello,
I have an 08 GS that did not come with factory foglights. That being the case, is there a fog light harness on the bike thats just not being used? If there is one, can someone give me an...
In the middle picture there is that square bracket in the center. There are 2 10mm bolts that hold it down. They are not easy to get to, unless you have a swivel socket and lots of patience. you...
LEDs are a pain. Here are the pictures of my process putting LEDs in my 08 GS.179131179132179133
I just got rid of my Hindle. Those rattling heat shields were driving me crazy. I replaced it with this. https://www.partzilla.com/product/aftermarket/8BX3-VOODOO-VPESPYK8B
Sounds awesome and...
Hi Steve and Happy New Year. I have an SM5 so I hope the above mentioned wont be an issue for me.
Its time for a belt change too so I will definitely check those splines. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply. Without being long-winded, I did everything you mentioned above. The bike was ridden all this summer with those symptoms showing up sporadically. After doing some Google...
Greetings all,
Will a bad gearbox position sensor cause a Spyder to run rough? I know mine needs to be replaced as the gear indicator constantly jumps around. But I have a lot of sputtering and...
All good posts.
I think the procedure is basically set with a variance or two. I put my fuel filter between Hose #24 and a hose that was already routed underneath the Spyder vs the fuel filter...
Thanks sir, I feel I can ride with more confidence now. Swaybar and oil order coming your way soon.
I placed a fuel filter between the line and routed it underneath the bike. So far there is no fuel smell after riding and the Spyder runs much smoother.
Good day folks,
I finally got around to removing the evap canister on my 08 GS, which I have owned since 2011. I know, late to the game on that front. But now that its gone and the Spyder is...
Can you please provide the size of hose needed as a replacement? Thank you.
