There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

This is the first time I've seen it - but everything I've ever gotten from ISCI has been engineered to the MAX, and their customer service is top notch - it would be a low risk proposition.
Personally, where I live, I like the heat… :clap:

It looks like the installation instructions are for a RS. I wonder if it is misplaced on the website?

nope ISCI now makes one for the RT. they had it at Spyderfest.
the Spyderpops is NOT a fan can but blocks the exit for the fan and forces the hot air out the bottom instead.
the fan can forces the fan air to blow INTO the engine area and then down the bottom I guess.

You are correct!
When I talked to ISCI in :spyder2:fest, I had that issue. They said the difference between both is on the removal of the tupperwear, but it is pretty much the same install.

So I have a question on this.. I have been eyeballing it for a few weeks (RT Can), and worry what the negative effects are with this. Does it cause an increase in temps to the Engine resulting in higher oil and water temps?
I am struggling with not knowing where this heat is now channeled to (In actual flow not aiming).
I can take foot/shin heat FAAAAAR better than fanny heat and hate the thought of just moving the heat to another area having just moved the issue instead of resolving it.
Plus, if this is such a good idea, why the heck has BRP not done it? There has to be a reason beyond the cost..
Not trying to be a P.I.T.A. on this, but I am trying to further educate myself before deciding to buy it or not. Thank you for all of your help!!!

Fan Can
Hi Guys
Haven't called Isci yet as I've been busy with other things but after reading IWN2RYD's comments it made me wonder whether this would affect my warranty by adding it on . Guess I'll have to make 2 calls . One to BRP as well .
Will definitly let you know their responses
Thanks

There are two different "ISCI FANCANS". The part numbers are SPY-FANCAN and SPY-FANCAN-10.
Part # SPY-FANCAN is for older RS models (2008 and some 2009) that have a radiator fan that does not have a built in shroud that covers the whole surface of the radiator as shown in the picture.
Part # SPY-FANCAN-10 is for some of the later 2009 RS models and all 2010 and later RS models. It also fits all 2010 and later RT models. These fans have a shroud that is an integral part of the fan itself and this shroud covers the entire fin area of the radiator.
Part of our testing involved adding a temperature gauge to the upper radiator hose on a 2008 and a 2009 RS. We ran one with a FANCAN installed and one without for almost a year. We ran these side by side on numerous occasions on some very hot days here in Alabama. The temperature rose at the same rate on both and once the thermostat started opening and closing they both maintained temperature in the same range.
Like someone posted earlier the installation is basically the same on the RT as it is on the RS with the exception of the removal of body panels.
We continue to run these installed on our RS models as well as the RT without any problems.
If anyone has any other questions about these just let us know!!

Thank you for your response!
Where does this heat now travel? To the undercarriage and tire? To the engine bay and under our fannies?
pps:Fan Can
:chat:So now I'm more curious . By redirecting the heat back into the engine area , would that solve IWN2RYD's preference to shin heat as compared to fanny heat . I'd also like to know Venom whether you are aware if adding this onto my Spyder would affect BRP'S warranty

JKaye, I was using Venom21's profile to answer this, but now I have my own.
In my experience riding the Spyder with the FANCAN installed there isn't any heat on your foot, shin or leg when using the highway pegs. I also haven't felt anymore heat anywhere else than what is experienced during normal riding and riding in stop and go traffic.
As far as it affecting the warranty, I don't know.

Maybe cut a hole in the skid pan, add a short tube or something to connect to the fan can outlet directing the hot air from the can out and underneath the bike, that way you not sending the heat back to the engine?

Has any body instaled a FanCan on a 2011 Rt. I see a bunch of work to do so. The bolts that are used to mount the FanCan are covered by a plastic air distrabution shield now. To me it looks like it would be dificult to remove this shild. Any thoughts. Bob
