never had

what i thought was a tuning issue, i never felt any hesitation from a standing start but after the heat fix issue i did have excessive heat under the seat that i never felt b4 because they did a update on the bike software at that time

Just read this does that mean I am unable to have this ECM update done because I live in Pennsylvania?

States adopting the California standards include Arizona (2012 model year),[SUP][1][/SUP] Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico (2011 model year), New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] Such states are frequently referred to as "CARB states" in automotive discussions because the regulations are defined by the California Air Resources Board

I Don't know, but I'd be cautious and do your homework before having it done. Might be worth the trip to a non-carb state???

:dontknow: But I am guessing you could go out of state and get it done. I believe this really applies to autos since there is no OBD II testing on the Spyder.

Also, where are you in PA?

Good luck. Can't wait to hear what you think after its done. I am having snow and really cold temps right now.

Wait... I never knew there was a difference. So you mean that because I bought my Spyder in Cali, it's a CARB vehicle and this new update won't fix anything? :sour:

Is there any way to convert it to a non-CARB Spyder?

This.

If there is a heat fix possible for this bike I need it!

carb compliant

you can get your ecm up-date in pa--there are no emission tests for motorcycles or diesel engines--only cars and trucks with gasoline engines

 

[Cruzr Joe]

Old news if you haven't had it done see your dealer. They will wrap your canister and MC and also install a heat shield.

Little quick on the trigger with misinformation there Mr. Dave.

The update is real. The fuse box covers are not shipping yet. Got the tune update on Louise new RT-S this morning before we took delivery. Since her bike is different than mine in other ways, cannot offer a before / after comparison yet. But the new bike runs fine and I had no gas fumes today. But it was in the 50s and never sat in S&G traffic.

I bought my Spyder in Cali, so that means it's a CARB vehicle and this new update won't fix anything? Or can I just not get the update in this state? If I drive to Arizona can I get it done there?

Arizona (2012 model year) ????????? does this mean it only applys to 2012 and will not affect the 2013. Emission checks are no longer required for motorcycles in PIMA county and a lot of the rest of AZ
