Bob, do notice any noise at all with yours? Sounds like something is going on with a batch of fuel pumps :dontknow:

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.
Very noisy fuel pump!

Damn! I've just traded up from a 2013 LTD to a '14 RT-S because I love the new power train, and hated the stalling and clutch rattle on the old bike. Now I have a fuel pump that sounds like a jet engine to look forward to? BTW, the dealer said of my earlier issues "They all do that". As I've said before, would you accept that on a 30K car?
My dealer has just ordered a replacement pump for my RT-S MY 2014 :2thumbs:. When dealer called the BRP Tech guys here in Brazil, they did not make any question and promptly approved the warranty. This shows that it is a known issue by BRP and for those who are complying, they are replacing the pump.
Fuel pump replaced and noise has gone!
The fuel pump module was replaced in my 2014 RT-S by the dealer under warranty and the noise has gone!!! :2thumbs:. BRP in Brazil has already recognized that some units have a faulty pump and may be replaced in any dealer at no charge.
So, for those who believes the loud noise is normal :banghead:, good luck... Someday the Spyder may stop suddenly in the middle of road...
Happy New Year!

Comments after fuel pump replacement
I would like to share some important changes I have noticed after the fuel pump replacement, besides of the silence:
For me it was easy to compare before/after fuel pump replacement, as I did not ride any other RT-S 1330 before I purchased mine. So, I suspect the faulty pump was delivering less fuel than needed and this was causing a poor performandce and could cause some engine damage over the time.
I would like to share some important changes I have noticed after the fuel pump replacement, besides of the silence:
- fuel line pressurization is faster;
- startup screen is also coming faster;
- engine startup is easier;
- fuel mileage has improved about 1 km/liter (13.5 to 14.5 km/l);
- acceleration is clearly better than before.

The only thing you're suppose to ear is a really quiet ''wisss'' when you turn the key on and then it almost stops .
If it is a winning or high pitch ZZZZ sound when the key is on, and you can ear it even when the engine run, this meens the pump is going away... the dealer have to change it, no argument .
In my case , I could ear the wizzz and winning sound even when the engine was running , that's when I've decided to go at my dealer to have it check and he told me that I was lucky it didn't quit on me !!!!
Anyway, if you are not sure...have it check at your dealer ...it's their job.:lecturef_smilie:

BRP authorized my dealer to replace the fuel pump due to noise issue. OMG! The sweet sound of silence. It even appears to run smoother and everything rf5 said in his post. I'm sooo happy. Thank you Malcolm Smith Motorsports and BRP Customer Support.

For those of you who have had the pumps replaced on your 2014, can you post the production month please?
Thanks.

Try a Harley, it does EXACTLY the same thing.
Sorry to disagree with the crowd but since the advent of fuel injection etc. sounds NORMAL to me!
