• 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.

    Left headlight stopped working, but the Right headlight is still working - any suggestions on what to look at/try?

    ^ Agree!! ^ And at the risk of boring those who already know, but in the interests of helping those who might not... Generally, if one headlight in a pair of globes on the headlight circuit goes, the other globe on the circuit will then have been exposed/subjected to some rather high...

    PLEASE UPLOAD, ATTACH, AND INSERT ALL PICTURES/IMAGES AS THUMBNAILS!

    Dansy, I've sent a DM with more detail, but you've successfully added pics to this Forum before (I sent a link in the DM to one of your posts with incompletely loaded attachments, where no-one's complained about them - yet... ;)) so it's clear that you can actually get them from your iPad onto...

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    Is there any chance that you have somehow trapped a bubble of air in/around the thermostat housing, water pump, &/or temp sensor?? 🤔 I know they are meant to be 'self-bleeding' (or more correctly, 'self-burping'! :sneaky: ) but I've seen quite a few Spyders that've had large air pockets/bubbles...

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    It's fairly hot here in Oz most of the time, and I learnt the 'ATGATT' lesson early (as a paramedic!) so I wear gloves all the time I'm riding, altho I do tend to wear relatively lightweight gloves (well, unless it's pelting down with rain or I'm riding in the snow... :sneaky:) and that means my...

    Where are you in Oregon???

    Asking SunnyDays that probably won't get too much of a response, Peder. :( Just look at the date Sunny put up that post, it was waaaayyy back in 2019! :oops: And if you click on the avatar alongside their post, you'll be able to see that Sunny last visited the Forum about a month or so later...

    Check engine light - what to check?

    Looked up the code, and it says: P0174 - Module: ECM System too lean Bank 2. Injection and fuel supply system. Check injector & fuel supply system. However, that code is one that does frequently appear either individually or as one of a cascade of errors (often teamed with VSS or DPS failure...

    Check engine light - what to check?

    I can't help with the code, but if the dealer installed one of the current crop of BRP Factory spec batteries, it could still be the battery!! 😖 Spyders NEED a battery with at least 350 CCA & at least 21 A/hr capacity; but IIRC, the current BRP Issue jobbies are spec'ed at only 300 CCA and...

    2024 will Crank, but just won't start! More later...

    At the risk of adding yet another one to the many, MANY times that this has already been posted here by a fair few people who've probably forgotten more about batteries and electronics than I ever knew, buuut: THESE BITS ^ are the ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO TO YOUR VEHICLE &/or...

    Knocking in the rear wheel of a Spyder ST Ltd 998 - Any ideas?

    It's certainly not hard to do at home, nor on the side of the road in the middle of a 48°C+ day after riding 1000 miles from anywhere of consequence with all the necessary parts & just basic hand tools & a jack in the frunk for that matter... 😖 Do you really need to ask me how I know that...

    Check engine light - what to check?

    I too think that bit on your behalf could well be a mistake! And IMHO, this bit makes that first bit being a 'mistake' far more likely than otherwise!! 😖 Did the dealer install one of the cheap arsed OEM POS batteries? Did they fully charge whatever that 'new battery' was before installing it...

    Knocking in the rear wheel of a Spyder ST Ltd 998 - Any ideas?

    I'd think that's probably the most likely cause... :cautious: Did you check &/or replace the rear wheel/axle bearings when you replaced the rear tire?? Without going back & checking, I'm not sure the W/shop manual doesn't recommend that you replace them at every tire change anyway, altho I...

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    I too thought that way... until I saw the first engine killed by nothing but a change in the brand/type/spec of oil it was running! :oops: Admittedly, that motor, and every one of the 'quite a few' that I've seen since where this has happened, had run for waaay more miles than most Spyders...

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    Just something else you might want to consider, there is a tendency in these internal combustion engine thingies for them to effectively 'become used to' whatever oil they've been using for a reasonable amount of time, such that if you do change the oil you run in one, you might find that...

    Is anyone using this ROAR PEDAL CONTROLLER?

    Hmm, did anyone ever see any report of results?? :unsure: @volksbugusa was still active on the Forum for some months after yhe original post here in Mar 2021?? :oops: Be interesting to hear if it's any different to any of the others, looking forward to your review. (y)

    Ordering from Kewlmetal - Website/link Hijacked!

    I'm pretty sure that it doesn't exist any more, and hasn't for at least 7 years now; and there were a lot of issues being reported with them before that! :cry: If you want one of their air cleaner kits, I believe you should contact BajaRon, and if you want any more info than that, try searching...

    Have the Past Albums transferred across to the new platform?

    Basically, yes. :cry: That's only the albums tho, not necessarily uploaded pics/vids in any of the DIY threads... Just the stuff in the add-on albums. ;) Of course, there is a (slight) chance that some of it may have been copied by other members and might (eventually?!) be uploaded again...
