    Default Spyder Ran Terribly

    Put on a General Altimax and new rear wheel bearings- all is fine but next day the 2012 Rss-Se5 started to run really lousy. Cold start and die when put in gear-run very weak. As it warmed up it ran better but still sputtered and surged. Thought maybe water in gas. New gas and Heet did very little to help. Then read about the cracked hose on the MAPS- manifold air pressure sensor. It was very cracked and deteriorated. Taped with electrical and gorilla tape. Did the trick- runs fine. Did that on Sunday to save time. Changed to a new hose today. There are 2 hoses- calling them front and rear. Close together. The front was bad-1/64th inch inner diameter. The rear is Ok so left it alone. The rear is larger- 3/8ths or 5/16ths in. inner diameter and looks longer than the front. Amazing difference the little hose can cause. Easy change & thanks to all who posted about the problem. John

    Default Let's see....

    There should be two hoses the same lenth and diameter. You should replace both with silicone hoses cut to the same length. These will really make things run bad and changing one is not wise cause the other one is going to go as well. Silicone will last much longer....

    looks good..... rubber dries out...

    Default Hoses

    The hose I replaced was in worse shape than the pic-the other looks good. I will take another look for a hose with same size. Thanks.

    Default Hose location ??

    I'm new to the forum and just acquired a 2012 RT. I noticed the rough idle and the two codes which suggest cracked hoses. Where specifically are the hoses located and is there a tutoral on removing the side panels to gain access?
    Sorry if this question has been asked before.

    Default Hoses

    On the 2012 RSS the hoses are behind the top left panel just forward of the seat. Easy to find attached to the throttle body about 4-5 inches long. Easy to find and replace. Check the owner's manual for RT panel removal. John
