• 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.

    Where is the ECU on a 2008 Spyder GS? Any hints on how to remove it?

    At the end of the big Engine harness, below the dash console I think. https://www.ktmhobart.com.au/partFinder/fiche/canam/2009/spyder-gs-roadster-with-sm5-transmission/engine-harness#next

    Which belt guard is more important - top, or both?

    I think it's a Kumho at present. I've had a few brands on it and run it at 18psi for very even wear.

    Which belt guard is more important - top, or both?

    A 205/55-15 solves that problem and is a better fit on the rim.

    Spyder RS-S 2011 SE5 - Low Voltage battery - any ideas/suggestions?

    Good - now do some more checking with a multimeter. Good luck with it.

    2014 Spyder broken oil pump gear - separate issue, or just a defect?

    It's happened to a very small number of 990 engines. Cause - plastic gear.

    First Service & Dealer says Stripped out drain plug! New dealer time!

    The other complication with the trans drain plug is that you cannot get a straight go at it without removing the brake linkage bolt/nut as it's inserted from the wrong side of the mechanism whereby the nut is in almost directly under the plug. No wonder it got stripped - the poorly trained...

    Spyder RS-S 2011 SE5 - Low Voltage battery - any ideas/suggestions?

    There is a 50amp fuse in the charging circuit under the seat. Have you checked it?

    First Service & Dealer says Stripped out drain plug! New dealer time!

    It is dumb of BRP to have the trans drain plug with 6mm hex and eng drain plug with 45 Torx plug. :banghead:

    First Service & Dealer says Stripped out drain plug! New dealer time!

    I doubt the steel plug would be stripped - more likely the aluminium housing it screws into.

    Spyder RS-S 2011 SE5 - Low Voltage battery - any ideas/suggestions?

    That's most unfortunate. Have you checked and cleaned earth cables and wires as previously suggested? And redo the test procedures.

    What wires go where in the BUDS Connector?

    Your illustration is correct when viewed from rear / wire entry side of plug.

    What wires go where in the BUDS Connector?

    Is that what's wanted? (dunno why it's done 2 of each, but what the heck.)

    Spyder RS-S 2011 SE5 - Low Voltage battery - any ideas/suggestions?

    The specs in reply 5 say 60volts at 4000rpm. 12.4v at 4000 rpm shows no charge going to battery. Burnt stators on these trikes are very uncommon but your symptoms indicate it is at fault. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/403995584464 Hey Doug - what page of service manual are those pix on? I...

    Spyder Dies Momentarily - anyone else had this issue?

    I checked the relays in the fuse box and they were secure. Mine has the 'updated' lid with the rubber lining on the under side of the lid to prevent the relays vibrating loose like they did on the earlier ones. The 4 relays are the same so I swapped them around to see if that makes any...

    Spyder Dies Momentarily - anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks for the reminder about the relays, Doug. I think I even have a couple of spares I bought a dozen years ago for a rainy day. And those battery bolts are good and tight. I made sure they were when I fitted the battery a month ago. It's a real pain to get to, as you know. I'll have my...

    Spyder Dies Momentarily - anyone else had this issue?

    My old GS SM5 has shut down momentarily on 3 occasions over the last few months. Twice it's done it while slowing to make a turn off the throttle; yesterday it did it while cruising at 80kph with immediate power loss then within a second or two, the dash lights and dials do the start routine...
