• 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.

    Crazy Fault Codes!

    Nope, no work done on the bike...I've been planning on taking it up to the dealer for an oil change, annual check up, etc. But I can't do that if "limp home" continues. The dealer is 35 miles away through horrendous traffic. The battery was replaced last year by the dealer, so unless it has...

    Crazy Fault Codes!

    I'll take a look, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for, other than a disconnected or loose wire. Its odd that there were NO problems at all, then this bunch just showed up.

    Crazy Fault Codes!

    The battery was replaced a year ago by the Can-Am dealer. I checked the connections...good and tight. If the battery has gone bad, I'll jump on the Can-Am dealer!

    Crazy Fault Codes!

    I haven't been able to take my 2012 Spyder RT SE5 to the dealer yet, so I figured I'd check out the list of faults the bike was registering. Aside from the "idiot lights", the actual fault codes were: P0500 Invalid of missing speed on CAN (whatever the hell that means!) 0003B YAW rate sensor...

    How Much to Replace ECM on 2012 RT SE5?

    I'll try to figure out where the pins are located, and check them out. I didn't see any loose wires, but I only looked at "surface stuff" that was visible without taking the tupperware off. Thanks!

    How Much to Replace ECM on 2012 RT SE5?

    I don't know if my Can Am dealer will aloow me to supply my own parts, but if it turns out that I need to replace the ECM, I'll certainly ask them! Every penny saved is another mile I can ride...LOL

    How Much to Replace ECM on 2012 RT SE5?

    Yup, that's exactly what I'll do. Hopefully its a loose wire or something simple like that. Don't want to pay for a new ECM if I don't absolutely need one. :-)

    How Much to Replace ECM on 2012 RT SE5?

    Good advice...thanks. I'll have them do an electric diagnosis or run BUDS and see what they find. I'd rather pay for them tightening a loose wire than a whole new ECM.. :-)

    How Much to Replace ECM on 2012 RT SE5?

    I may need to have the ECM replaced on my 2012 RT SE5. Anybody got a rough estimate of what the Can-Am dealer will charge for this? I bought the bike used, so have no idea of whether or not the ECM has been updated or flashed (50,000+ miles), but its giving me headaches now...check engine...

    Used RT Guidance...

    I agree! My 2012 RT-SE5 has been a great bike for me. Bought it used with high mileage, and haven't regretted it for a single minute. :-)

    ECM Went Crazy

    Mine is a 998...2012, so not the 1330...but it's never shown any signs of burning oil. Yet it does have 50,000+ miles on it, so maybe its burning a little but with no outward signs. I normally check the oil level after I've ridden it at least a mile or two (up and down my road), to make sure...

    ECM Went Crazy

    I'm hoping that this was a singular event...it scared the hell out of me thinking about the potential costs for getting all those "faults" corrected. LOL Its running like a top now, so maybe, just maybe it was an ECM "senior moment". :-)

    God willing and the creek don't rise, it will never happen again! :-)

    ECM Went Crazy

    It was a glitch for sure! :-) Never had anything like that happen before, and I'm hopeful that it never happens again. Once the rain lets up, I'm going to check EVERYTHING I can, including the bettery terminal connections. The Spyder spends its life outside (no garage), but my battery tender...

    ECM Went Crazy

    Yup, that might have done the trick...I usually check fluids, tires, etc. once a week, but hadn't checked the brake fluid in awhile. I'm surprised that adding so little satisfied the "brain"... :-) But it worked, and the "brain" knows better than I do. LOL

    ECM Went Crazy

    I'll check the terminals and leads, and make sure they're snug. The battery is less than a year old, and hasn't had any problem starting the bike throughout the winter.

    ECM Went Crazy

    Less than a year old,,,replaced at the Can Am dealer in Chesapeake, VA...its been on a battery tender throughout the winter (not taken out of the bike), so I don't think it was a battery issue.

    ECM Went Crazy

    I went out to start my Spyder RT SE5, and once it was running, I got all kinds of errors flashing at me! Check Engine, ABS Issue, Limp Home, and many more (seemed like all them!). I had ridden it the day before with no problems, so I didn't know what was going on. I shut it down, and checked...

    Used RT Guidance...

    I also have a 2012 RT but mine is the SE5, semi-automatic. I love it! I bought it used with 50,000 miles (yes, fifty thousand miles) on it, and had it thoroughly checked out by my local CanAm dealer. Its been 2 1/2 years without a hiccup. It has all the luxury stuff I need, and none of the...

    Driver Floorboards for a 2012 RT SE5

    "Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out. Can you stand on them without them flexing? I just can't see paying $400 - $900 for a pair of floorboards." Yes, standing on them is no problem. They don't flex at all under my weight (175 lbs), and the small size ones are plenty big enough for my...
