New mapping for 2013 spyders
Anybody had the new BRP remapping done on there 2013 spyder yet ? If so what do you think ? I am waiting for the fuse box covers to come in to get the whole recall done at once on my RT plus get a laser alignment while it is in the shop.

How about the unsold ones?
There are probably a few thousand unsold 2013s out there and I am wondering if the new mapping will go into those before they are sold. They may be selling for huge discounts but I wouldn't touch one unless it had been remapped. The jury is still out on how much this will help the heat problems but any significant improvement would no doubt be welcome.

b4 bikes go out the door that are hooked up to the computer so i am sure all will have the update but it wouldn't hurt to ask b4 buying one

My dealer said they would be updating all unsold inventory before they are sold. I'm currently waiting on the parts to come in to get mine done, oh and better weather to!
Sold my 14 RTS went back to 2 wheels.

My parts are in and I have an appointment for next Thursday to get it done. It is a 100mi. ride and I will be filling up next door to the dealer when I get there to calculate gas mileage and do the same when I get home to see if it improves my 25mpg average and report back. Obviously the real test will be 90+deg rides but that ain't happening anytime soon. Est temp next Thursday will be 55 and sunny.

Thinks out loud
90+ temps will be the true test. Hope the fix works.

Done
Had 2013rtse5 at dealers for other and they updated the ECM , but need parts for rest. I haven't had heat issues, so I am poor judge, but Snyder did seem to hesitate less at slow speeds, so far.

Just had the service bulletin performed, mapping, ect. ? Is there a reason why my spyder would run so much smoother after this was performed? It was running quite good before, but after this was performed, it is running so much better. They didn't do anything else to it, save perform the bulletin issues.

Assuming that the stock ECM was causing the bike to run too lean, which in turn would cause it to run hot. It would make sense that the new ECM update was modified to make it run richer, which in turn would definitely make it run better. My 2007 VFR had the same issue. Lean from the factory which caused choppy throttle response. The first thing most people did, including myself was to buy a PCIII / PCV to richen it up which resolved those issues.

It seemed to vibrate less on the floorboards during the 100mi. ride home. I got 1mpg better too other than that it will take some time to see if the bog on acceleration after a turn is better. Time will tell.....

My mine is great now heat way down and runs great. But wach out when you buy high grade fuel? Why you ask? Weill here it is. Some how some where I put in high great fuel in my tank, the bike start to run like hell. Really like hell, to to my mech, he then called BRP and they walk him thu some trouble shots. Well come to find out. I had water ,mud, a a lot of **** in the fuel. Plugs black, had to put new ones in, then clean the fuel lines purg vale ,throt body's air in jets and all the outher **** that the fuel gose thu. So in turn Mach shure you really buy your high grade fuel for a gas station the sells a lot or you will get this ****y gas like I did. Ok after all the bike run great now and runs the best sense new, will worth the time for ECM up date do it, works great.....

Lately I have started using 89 instead of 93 and thinking about it now that is when my MPG started to go up. I do not ride like I am at a drag race but wonder if that is part of the reason for better MPG?

Quite a difference!
While having them install the Fox shock absorbers, RonBar, heim links and SpyderPops BumpSkid on the STS yesterday,
the dealer did the ECM software upgrade and replacement of upper belt guard retaining screws under Service Bulletin #2013-9.
I was truly a happy camper on the way home as the ride & handling was so much better with the RonBar and Fox shocks. It was quite a transformation!
Noticed also that the engine ran smoother and pulled harder than usual. The initial response on the throttle was better too. Guess the software
update "enriched" the fuel to air mixture which would make the engine response better being that it was runnnng on the lean side from the factory. Of course, a "richer mixture" will help make the engine run cooler too. By the way, I always load premium grade fuel.

Some gas you can try mid or reg but you will see milage drop some you have to try them all out, to find the right grade of fuel.now my 14 I use reg but we have lead free up here in one station, but I will test all the grades 4 tanks each to find the best for me. You cando the same 4 tanks on each, you will no when bike runs bad really bad. But as fo high grade fuel just look and see how much they steel or it's just getting bad in tanks and heat to will come from bad fuel in bike to.run hotter ..good luck looking

Glad to hear the mapping is seeming to improve the performance, hopefully when (or if) warmer weather comes we will see an improvement on the heat side as well.
On the gas note you will find some "old" gas even in midgrade if you aren't careful where you purchase your fuel.

While my Spyder ST was in shop to repair O2 sensor the dealer did the mapping....picked up Spyder ...rode home ...20 minutes...40 degrees....seemed OK...couldn't find any heat....but my wires to heated seat and clothing were compromised during O2 sensor blowing out....the loom melted and Mark is going to replace with all new wires and just test and check out everything before I really ride the Spyder ...just to be safe
