• 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.

    Creep? SE5

    creeping is abnormal i disagree, the se5 is not an automatic transmission with a torque converter, it is an electronically shifted manual transmission. the centrifugal clutch is to fully decouple so that the engine can idle at stops with the transmission in gear or the neutral to 1st or reverse...

    thanks for the links. my sprocket looks like the one on the pics. on first link. the retaining bolt had no locktite but was hard to remove due to rust. no damage to output shaft splines or bolt. deep wear on washer. agree the torque on this bolt should be checked regularly. it's on my schedule...

    squeal noise when cold under load

    all spyder owners, please inspect your front drive belt sprocket tightness. the retaining bolt on mine backed off enough to damage the sprocket ( thank goodness the sprocket is softer than the transmission main shaft. no damage to shaft) symtoms: squealing from belt when cold, red dust on...

    Creep? SE5

    if you ride a 08 se5 you may have the early spring, we had the creep and a problem with the gear position sensor early on and when it was replaced, they told us a spring was replaced to eliminate the creep. also recommend you change the oil to the latest brp xps formula. i suspect that the se5...

    SE5 Downshifting to 1st is rough

    did you have the update to the update done? much improvement in the overall drivetrain operation. also suggest the use of the new full synthetic xp-s oil by brp. finally, if you manually downshift into first from higher speed the blipper will engage even when 2 to 1 shift resulting in smoother...

    Canisterectomy

    recommend against. if the evap system on the spyder is anything like automotive systems, when the engine control module controls the purge solenoid, it is expecting a richer report from the o2 sensor. not noting one it will eventually flag a code and check engine light. is the smell there only...

    rough running with exhaust leak i've noticed that the exhaust leak at vertical joint coincided with rough running at stop/go and backfires on decellerations. suspect that fresh air/oxigen is entering exhaust pipe before the o2 sensor and skewing the engine management mixture control. i'll let...

    Adjusting brake pedal?

    brake pedal adjust. don't do it. adjusting the height of the brake pedal changes the relationship between the brake switch mounted in the cammed arm and the brake pressure sensor. the abs/dynamic stability module double checks the travel of pedal with internal pressure sensor and if not within...
