• 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.

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    Some how missed that! I've done 3 of these bikes and every one of them required the throtle relearn... Haven't seen a plug and play one yet as all have done the limp home mode failure but I'm glad his was a quick simple fix! :cheers:

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    It sounds to me like you need to redo the Throttle Position Recalibration Procedure, you may be getting an issue with rolling the throttle more than once, but just to be thorough, I'll post what works for me. 1. turn key on 2. turn pedal box to Red Circle (sport+) mode level 3 red 3. Press +...

    2021 Spyder RT LTD Chrome Edition Factory LED Mirror Park/Turn Signal Modification

    I only had to run one wire to each fender harness to get my turn signal reference for the park/turn module. To power the module I tapped into the DLC acc power under the upper frunk trim. The ground I got direct to the main cross member under the headlights.

    2021 Spyder RT LTD Chrome Edition Factory LED Mirror Park/Turn Signal Modification

    Yes, we debated about the matching paint mirror caps. The spyders owner decided that function over looks was the desired outcome. But at the end of the day I really like the gloss black mirror caps with the Asphalt Metallic paint colour. He really missed his 2015 Spyder mirror mounted lights...

    2021 Spyder RT LTD Chrome Edition Factory LED Mirror Park/Turn Signal Modification

    I just finished instaling Non-North American Factory 2020+ BRP Can-Am Spyder Mirror LED Turn signals on a friends bike but I wired them in to also act as park/running lights. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.

    14 RT issues

    Go For It... I personally don't own one but do a lot of routine maintenance and repairs on quite a few 1330 Spyders in my neck of the woods. The 2014 Spyder (and pretty much all Spyder variants) is a very solid platform... It's not that bad to work on and aside from the DESS issue (that's...

    Belt Replacement - Anyone Else?

    $300 LABOUR TO CHANGE A BELT????l holy crap! I just did my friends new belt this morning on his 2015 RT Limited.... start to finish, tools out, adjustment and test ride down the street and back, all fasteners torqued, tools away, 28 minutes.... actual belt replacement to the point of all back...

    Pssst?

    Very very likely this reason or similar.... I know when I get on my two friends Spyders they do exactly this as I'm a really big guy and they're about half the mass I am.... After a few seconds of idle time the air suspension starts venting to accommodate the increase in pressure from me...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Spray the living beegeezus out of EVERYTHING... pull all the fuses out and spray it point blank into the terminals then reinstall the fuses and spray a good amount again to ensure the fuses and relays are now "sealed up" then on to the back of the fuse box... I took the whole front clip/frunk...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Excellent advice... ever try muriatic acid on corroded wires? :ohyea: I use it all the time when working with corroded wires on some units especially boats. Dip the corroded wire in it and voila! Clean as a whistle... neutralize it then get to soldering. use this a lot on vessels I do...

    Disappointing maiden voyage on new to us Spyder

    Looks like you're making progress... Once there's water intrusion and any sign of corrosion in a fuse box the magic electrical pixies tend to get moody... If you caught it in time and there's sign of corrosion, replace the affected wires and terminals, get out a can of fluid film and PLASTER...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Holy hand grenades.... I nearly spewed my afternoon Java out my nose I laughed so hard at BRP getting in touch about a MAJOR defect/design flaw two years after Deanna's failure and over 8 years into a continuing problem.... A word of advice BRP, you should have remained silent and contacted...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Of course, I'm just going by hearsay and the invoice I saw a while back.... he didn't have extended warranty and he said that BRP didn't go good for it, and he had to pay out of his pocket (as proved by his invoice showing payment). Now whether this was a dealership being lazy and wanting to...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm just going by the parts lookup system... the 2018 was a tester and went back never to be seen again! I cannot remember the numbers now; and at any rate what difference would it make? The defective DESS system is still alive and well in 2018.... you'd think BRP would have gotten this fixed...
