    For the price BRP is asking for a Spyder, an accurate gauge is a must.

    A temp sensor for the injection system and another one for the gauge, well positionate and accurate, will be the best for every one.

    Two devices would be nice but for now I'd rather have the engine getting the most accurate reading from under the tupperware to ensure it has the proper information as opposed to information showing air temp to be 5-10 degrees cooler.

    Mine seems pretty accurate as long as I'm not sitting for long periods while running. Maybe they made some changes on the 14's

    Default Temp Gauge

    Yea, thought it was just mine that was off. Mine has been off 8-10 degrees since day one. Maybe its a Canadian thing?

    Take two cities not that far apart like Niagra Falls, NY and Niagra Falls, Ontario.

    Heck, it will be, say 40 degrees in Niagra Falls NY but the Canadians will be saying the temperature in Niagra Falls, Ontario is 3.
    Now I know Canada is a bit colder, but 37 Degrees in a space of only a mile or so stretches credulity.

    I just think those Canadians can’t do temperatures.

    We Canadians do just fine with temperatures thanks....... 40 Fahrenheit in Niagra Falls NY and 3 Celsius in Ontario is only 2 degrees F. difference. Some of us can do conversion and some of us cannot. Also depending on wind direction on the lake those two cities ( only a few miles apart ) could often have a difference as much as 15 F.

    Default Have to agree..!!

    you can get a add on temp for your actual temp reading where you are. Cause even the weatherman can't get it right...
