• 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.

    P0122 tps sensor issue, what now?

    P0122 tps sensor issue, what now?

    The Spyder is not OBD2 standard. Many codes are Spyder unique and proprietary. That's why Google will give you mis-information. Unfortunately, that same mis-information will make it onto the forum. Service Manuals from back in that era usually contained a complete code listing. That's where I...

    P0122 tps sensor issue, what now?

    Well, to begin with, some correction and clarification. P0122 refers to the Throttle Acceleration Sensor - the TAS - not the throttle position sensor, or tps. So, you or a Mod might consider correcting the title of this thread. These are the sensors in your throttle twist grip that send your...

    Anyone else's Multi function switch not working like this?

    Here’s a similar issue with a 2011. We discussed all the same stuff. It had a couple of other electrical issues, but the battery was part of it, too. Presumably with the new switch. Not all Spyder problems are battery problems, just most...

    I have a rattle when I start my 2013 ST off slow. Is this normal?

    It IS normal if the sound and feeling goes away after the oil warms up in a few minutes. It’s NOT normal if it’s constant no matter the time or temp. The 998 V-Twin has a centrifugal clutch and if RPM is not maintained high enough, the clutch can be damaged over time. Actually, after 13 years...

    Anyone else's Multi function switch not working like this?

    Hey Don. Nice write up. The Left Hand Multifunction Switch (MSL) is a CANBUS controller. All of the functions that you mentioned are all CAN functions., except for a couple of exceptions. See pic 1. Of course, the gear shift function doesn't apply to you. You didn't mention the windshield. Was...

    Can anyone help me source a New Windscreen from 7Jurock?

    Hey Frank, On-line forums for other bikes, their Facebook, Yelp, etc, indicate that there has been nothing good said about 7Jurock for about the past year. You're not alone. That email asking for a review appears to just be automated. Your payment method most likely has a process to dispute a...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Right. But if it’s performance you’re after, like Roger, ECO Mode slows down the rate of throttle increase when you snap open the throttle, and limits total throttle body opening to 60% - even though the grip is twisted to 100%. It’s also been thought to contribute to carbon buildup.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    And never use ECO mode.

    2015 F3 SM6 with Fault Code P0512 & trying to start itself - anyone else experiencing this?

    So, let’s refer back to the drawing I gave you of the circuit, with the red line. Or, if the line is covering up too much, refer to your manual. Inside of the solenoid is a magnetic coil. When energized, the coil creates a magnetic field, closing the main contact and thus supplying power from...

    Any tips on removing/installing an oxygen sensor?

    If you already replaced the front one, and posted the picture - which is the correct one based on P0131 - you’re replacing the rear one now? What’s the basis for that? Replacing an O2 sensor is pretty rare on a 998. But two in two years? I’d dive a little deeper. How many miles in the past...

    Any tips on removing/installing an oxygen sensor?

    Hey T. I thought this was familiar. Is this the same issue from April of last year? Have you ridden it since then? A 2013 with 2500 miles. And you already changed one O2 sensor that was very carboned up. I assume the front one. I think it would be beneficial to start with a clean slate and...

    New shifting problem 2012 RTL SE5 - won't shift at all & stuck in 3rd - any thoughts/ideas that might help?

    It does take some elbow grease to shift that with the wrench. Especially, if the rod is still attached to the shift arm, and it’s a short wrench. A lot of drag from the hydraulic piston. So, if you disconnect that, helps to have two people so you can rock the bike back and forth, give the wrench...

    New shifting problem 2012 RTL SE5 - won't shift at all & stuck in 3rd - any thoughts/ideas that might help?

    Geez. Knowing the nature of your past work, I have an ill feeling. But first, you know the drill. The first thing to check when an SE5 doesn't shift is oil level in the tank. Plus, I trust that you have verified it is ACTUALLY in gear and this isn't an indication problem. Easy enough to do...

    Anyone know the Part # for the Stock brake linkage on a 2021 F3?

    Not. That's Position 2. The one he already has. Folks, FYI - all of the part numbers for brake rod Positions 1, 2, 4, and 5 can be found in the Can Am Accessories Catalog. Position 1 is the shortest, Position 5 is the longest. Position 3, the middle length rod, is not listed there because it's...
