• 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.

    I've started to analyze CAN messages. DPS I already know DPS is sending error codes on byte 2 and 3 (starting from 1 where last is checksum). I've been able to prepare messages without errors and run them in loop. Spyder could see them and there was no error from ECM or any other module...

    There is 0 resistance on old ABS between main GND (on ABS) and GND for PRS. I know that there are multiple connections (3 or more) soldered to ABS case internally in the module. I would need to confirm how many and in which pins by looking at old board. Same numbers for old and "new" ABS: BRP...

    I've started to install air compressor for suspension and carling switch above glove box. I've used compressor for seats used in agricultural vehicles. Its number is "135adc56". Can am uses same compressor but with slightly different specification (product number "125adc56"). Since I dontt have...

    I've finished handle for passenger. It took me almost 15h to finish but it's now on bike and looking good.

    "The switch is not connected to ground at all except probably through the VCM" - Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my description but this is exactly what I wanted to say in "I discovered GND connector in ABS unit for this switch (pin 2) is not shorted to ground". Basically Pin 2 in my current ABS...

    Thank you so much. This is so ftrustrating. Every lead I have points to ABS unit beeing broken (on other vehicles), and my previous unit was in fact broken - it wasn't showing any pressure in BUDS. But this time everything seems to work fine. Tomorrow during the day I will take my wife with me...

    After assembling rear cases I've taken my Spyder for short ride and I still get Limp mode after crossing 8km/h, even after changing my ABS. This doesn't happen when I'm stopped. I've checked data in BUDS and all seonsors are working: all 3 speed sensors, brake pressure and brake light. I don't...

    My right-side passenger handle is badly broken and no replacement in used parts in Poland. So, I have to fix it. Working with heated plastic is like working with plasticine - it's fun. Also, the more I use soldering iron for this work, the more I like it. Torch only heats up surface, but...

    It makes sense to show big warning first once state changes and show smaller warning afterwards. Same with "come and go". If these warnings behave same way as other warnings (ex. faults) there seems to be some kind of queue/pool design implemented. From your description one thing is sure, down...

    It's quite interesting you've mentioned it. When I've started documenting my progress with spyder I've actually had two goals: share some knowledge on forum which helps me very much with my work and practise my english :). I'm used to listening and reading everything in english: podcasts...

    Thanks :). I have spare time now because of winter in Poland. And I made so many errors when doing similar stuff that I'm immune to failures ;).

    The case open warning does not show when the down button is held down. Thank you for explenation. I missed that part - don't know why. And I assumed light were showing open cases all the time. Sorry for misunderstanding. This would mean that cocpit can recognize state when up is pressed and...

    Thanks, I will try that today. [EDIT] After your post I've found many videos about that on YT. Thanks :) [EDIT2] Not I've found out that this will not work on PP parts, which are mostly used as structural parts not exposed to debris from road. Acetone does not dissolve PP. At least it works...

    I've started on fixing plastic parts. So many of them are broken and I need to "weld" them. This is first time I'm doing plastic welding so this should be fun. I've started with test part from my wife's scooter. First I used hand-held soldering iron. To penetrate two pieces and mix melted...

    Thank you so much for checking. This means that case resistors are used while compressor switch is used and shematics might be wrong. Connections according to state and final resistance in schematics: FREE - 2-3. Resistance 1500 Ohm UP - 2-3, 6-5. Resistance 1/1500 Ohm + 1/825 Ohm = 1/X ->...

    I'm sorry, I've forgot to mention most important thing. It is 2011. It is slightlu different than 2010. On 2011 there is one resistor for all case switches. I've tried to find datasheet for compressor switch based on numbers but it seems it is special production batch (starts with VXD).

    Hopefully this will be of some help or encouragement to anyone trying to fix/modify their spyder. Stay safe.

    I've modified mounts for standard radio to accomodate new amplifier. With heated knife I've cut gaps in this big plastic part from under seat to slide amplifier's mounting plate in. With straps and additional screw it holds very tightly. I have a small favour for someone with automatic rear...

    I've started working on cargo harness. It is a little bit tough not to mess up proper placing of connectors. I've added cables to connect additional blinkers on each side of cargo lid. I don't know how blinking frequency will be affected when additional parallel led light will be introduced...

    New item installed (20$). Hawing only on/off sensor for oil pressure is not enough for me and I need to fill empty space after I douldn't find coolant temperature gauge. I've installed pressure gauge used on old tractors. It idicated almost 5 bar - quite a lot. Thread in engine case is M10 x 1...
