Cold Blooded Spyder

[Dragonrider]

Is the Spyder generally cold blooded, or is it just a "new bike thing"? At 360 miles, it starts easily,but spits and stammers until it warms up.

Just curious.

You're not supposed to ride it until it warms up to 1-2 bars - according to the BRP techs. Otherwise you will sputter.

Yep, mine does the same thing. I go easy on her until she is warmed up.

Thanks - I use it as a commuter. Letting it warm in in the Garage at 5am ain't gonna happen..... It's a slow easy run to the SS, and she's warm by then.

at first, a little - - - after the 600, I have not noticed

My SE5 did some sputtering at first, but not now.
I now start it, put on the helmet, gloves, get on and release the parking brake and go. By the time I open my gate, drive through and park, close the gate, and remount - it is good to go.

Same here. I'm over 20,000 miles and it still runs rough until warms up to 1 or 2 bars.

Mine runs fine with 0 bars. I understand that this is not normal behaviour for a Spyder. Therefore something must be broken but I have no intentions of finding it and fixing it.

Ever since I put the Evoluzione race air system and fuel mod with increased gas pressure to 62 psi , mine won't sputter when cold anymore--- but I still let it warm up to 1-2 bars before taking off. I want that oil moving nice and free before putting any stress on the engine.
