• 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.

    RSS BACKFIRING

    Well I think I've finally figured out the problem of it popping which sounds like a backfire. Hears a recap of what was done and what I have found: 1) Replaced Y gaskets with Honda gaskets. Did nothing to improve or solve the original problem. Although my right leg is riding much cooler. 2)...

    RSS BACKFIRING

    As stated previously the only after market thing on my spyder is the Honda Y gaskets and the Premium Accel wire set. There is no performance muffler, no juice box, everything is 100 percent BRP since the day I bought it.

    RSS BACKFIRING

    She's still popping/backfiring Had her hooked up to Buds this past Tuesday. Everything is up to date. There were only two codes found, one for a shift up/down and a speed sensor fault which occurred at about 208 hrs. No codes have occurred since then. I currently have 425 hrs and 19,678 miles...

    Bathing You Spyder

    I have a different philosophy on bathing my spyder. The only thing I clean is the wind screen and the headlights with a product called bug slime. As far as the rest goes, God made the birds that poop, the trees with sap, the bugs with different colored guts, so I let him clean up the mess...

    Water splash off rear tire and gets back wet

    On my 2012 RSS I will get a wetter back if I leave my brp back rest on than if I just have the rear deck plate on. Look at the bright side, you can only get so wet. Once your wet your wet!! It doesn't really bother me until the temp hits 32 degrees then it feels like your riding a Popsicle

    RSS BACKFIRING

    Well I had managed to find some time this past Friday to install my new wires and spark plugs from BajaRon. (On a separate note I was quite impressed that heat compound for the plugs and clear dielectric grease for the spark plug boots on the wires came with it because my supply had seemed to...

    RSS BACKFIRING

    Well I've finally found some time today to change out the Y gaskets to the Honda gaskets. In addition I've wrapped the pipes with silver colored exhaust wrap. Looks pretty good but has not helped the backfiring issue, but it sure helps keeping the right leg and foot cooler!! Plugs and wires...

    RSS BACKFIRING

    This is what I've found so far. Right side Y joint leaks ...... and one off the new plug wires has a bad connector where it attaches at the spark plug end. Observed intermittent readings on the OHM meter while flexing the wire and ends.... Now obviously I need some parts... But what is the Honda...

    1st Annual "Great Southern Cruise" Aug 3-4

    Hopefully the roads will be opened back up by then. Just got back from camping at the old barn. Lots of the roads are severely detoured or closed due to flooding around Lanesboro, Preston, Harmony, and a few other towns around their. Would love to go back there again, but not without the Spyder!

    June Caswell Ride

    I'll see you in July. Doc says 2 more weeks off the feet. I tried riding up to the gas station but that was all I could handle. I'm not sure which way your planning on leaving Danbury, but if your looking for a little bit of a scenic route without all the traffic of 35 you can take 77 east...

    I know, this is a weird question...

    Lucky for you it's only a cat! I have a 180 Lb St. Bernard that thinks the spyder is his chair. I don't have a pic on this phone but I have a pic on face book (Chris Kohnen) sitting on my Spyder in the garage
