• 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.

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    Fingers crossed I put new wires on, fun wow. Ran seafoam through gas and oil, changed oil, nothing on the magnet, then it threw up an oil pressure code. Checked switch ok, code gone after cleaning connection. Installed a frunk insert decal and its running good, gotta be the decal.

    Thanks Doug and David, you have made things much more clear, I checked the switch as per instructions found in this forum. It was fine, cleaned up the connection and went for a long ride, all good. Here's hoping she settles down some for homecoming! Ken

    What's this and why isn't there a hose on it?

    Missing hose #snowbelt spyder thanks for the breakdown, the tit near the #12 does not show a hose attached. The dangling hose goes to a canister of sorts. I am attempting a better photo. The photo doesn't appear upright but if you rotate 90 degrees clockwise, you see the hose tie wrapped...

    Thanks very much, yes it's a 2008 and yes it was at the dealer for the knock. They tested the oil pressure and all ok. Just got back from a short ride and it threw up a P0520. Spyder codes says this points to an oil pressure switch so I'm going to look into that missing hose and pray that is...

    What's this and why isn't there a hose on it?

    That's a fair comment my bad I was slightly rushed and panicked, illl post one today. It's just under the spark plug of the forward cylinder on the right . I noticed it when I moved the air box to change the SP wire. Thought perhaps I knocked it off but now I don't think so. The Spyder runs fine...

    What's this and why isn't there a hose on it?

    Ps there is a loose line tie wrapped downwards near it as if it were a drain.

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    update update noise "seems" to have lessened. however after a good ryde yesterday check engine came on and the code was P0130 O2 sensor Also for some reason the oil sump was completely full to top 30 seconds after shutdown when i know it was not that way a day earlier. Strange Spyder. I am...

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    Exactly what I thought but when I asked the dealer to do that, he said no need. "never seen spyder wires go bad" seems odd. I think I will just do them myself.

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    Update The dealer suggested plugs and a valve adjustment. I said ok to plugs but can't see doing a valve check after reading in this forum.

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    warmed it up and knock just a little less but no. Sounds like metal on metal. I trailered it up to the dealer. Can't take any chances it's going to the homecoming! Won't know till next week I guess. It's running on premium non ethanol. Like I said, very sudden, ran great the other day. 26,000km...

    2008 RS sudden knock in the engine

    Had my spyder out for a long run the other day and it performed flawlessly. Took it out today, wouldn't start right away but when it did, it knocked like a old diesel truck. Any ideas?

    Checking the oil level

    oil levels Would I be over simplifying this to suggest that once you have confirmed the perfect amount of oil , that I could leave the spyder over night, and recheck in the morning and notch the dipstick at the spot where the oil has settled to? That way it can be checked cold without all this...
