• 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.

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    You are correct that many Spyder owners may not want to flash their ECU, but those of us who choose to do that can really appreciate the difference in performance when we hit WOT at least a couple of times per ride out on the highway.

    Dash went black & I couldn't shift - blown fuse! No idea why...

    Glad that replacing the fuse worked for you, but the fact that the fuse burnt means that something caused the circuit to draw excess current indicating that it may happen again. You indicated that multiple starts and stops on your ride were all good but you seemed to indicate that when you...

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    BUDS allows you to read codes and reset certain sensors when replaced, but it will not allow you to reset engine parameters in a meaningful way. You need to get an ECU reflash done if you need to change those for performance etc.?? I don't own BUDS, so I could be wrong, but the service tech told...

    When To Replace Belt tensioner/Vibration Damper/Idler Pulley?

    The number you show may not be current, it may have been updated and secondly you do not need the whole kit just the repair kit which I saw somewhere on the Can Am site, but can't find right now, it's about 1/2 the price!?

    VSS Fault at first power-up - anyone else?? Normal??

    I bought my '22 F3S last year and it flashed the VSS code on almost every startup; the problem was that the original battery would momentarily drop the voltage during cranking at startup to below 10 volts, triggering the fault. Solution - replace the battery; and I have not seen the VSS code on...

    1330 - is there a Torque & HP dyno chart available anywhere?

    There is a dyno chart on the Monsterfuelinjection.com website if you want to check it out.

    A different look at setting the correct tire pressure

    I am happy that my 22 F3S does not have TPMS, my 22 GM Sierra 1500 At4 does, and the window does not allow for adjusting the pressure lower than the app allows without taking it to the dealer. It is higher than an empty pickup requires with aftermarket tires. I get constant reminders on my...

    My Problem Free time with the RT is over!

    I stand corrected on the later model 23 & 24 coming with Yuasa batteries instead of the Chinese. When the dealer put through a warranty claim on mine he referred to an Oct 23 internal bulletin that referenced the Yuasa as the replacement.

    My Problem Free time with the RT is over!

    BRP did use Chinese made 300 CCA batteries in 22 &23 and maybe previously but are back to using the Yuasa YTX 24L (350cca) in late 23 and 24. As far as a bad charging system its always possible but highly unlikely given the large number of Rotax engines out there. As far as too many accessories...

    My Problem Free time with the RT is over!

    If the battery requires replacement is that a Spyder design fault or is it a regular maintenance item that can and does occur on all makes and models of engine powered vehicles?

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    When you do your test ride keep an eye on the RPM vs speed and gear your in. This engine revs easily and smoothly and it is not a GoldWing or a Harley its made by Rotax.

    RTL Initial & now 2nd oil change analysis results

    I'm not a believer in fuel or oil additives unless you are going to store the vehicle for the winter season.(Something like Stabil) If after a vehicle has been stored and it exhibits unusual running characteristics I might consider a shot of fuel cleaner but not on a routine basis. Buy a...

    Are Tire 'Flat Stoppers' necessary for winter storage??

    No problem with flat spots on spyder, defender cab, outlander X, fuel stabilizer in the late fall and no battery maintainer on any of them. The Outlander is a 2013 (not used much) still on the original battery.

    Two Oil Observations ... I think ...

    I realize this question was for Ron but if you consider that a used filter has better filtration (some of the pores have larger particles in them) than a new one (unless its plugged); I see no benefit in changing the filter other than you may have to add a bit of new oil to replace the oil that...

    Licence plate housing fell off... Need help on the part# for replacement?

    After sleeping on the lens breaking around the retaining screw, I decided to check it this morning and the RTV appears to be holding the lens on the housing. I backed the screw out and the RTV had set on the threads so I applied the RTV to the complete thread and a bit to the shoulder of the...

    Licence plate housing fell off... Need help on the part# for replacement?

    I have a '22 F3S that I bought new last summer, and I lost the lens after the first ride out on the highway. The dealer replaced it for me at no charge. Last week after a ride I noticed the lens was gone again, this time I paid $80 to BRP for a new license plate assembly - the part number...

    Just had my 1st service done - they used 4T 0W40 synthetic oil - anyone else?

    0W-40 designation from the Castrol site: "Winter It actually stands for Winter. That's because 0W-40 engine oil is formulated to flow like a 0 Weight oil in cold conditions, yet offer the protection of a 40 Weight motor oil when the engine reaches its full operating temperature." The oil is...

    I've just Added Lights to our F3 Spyder!

    Just curious if you noticed the lights moving much at speed? The upper control arm would have a fair amount of up and down movement at road speeds.

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    I have Elka Stg 2 on my 22 F3S and a friend that I ride with has the Elka Stg 3 on his F3S. I have Elka Stg 2 on a 2013 Outlander 1000 and no leaks. You can send Elka an email with any questions you may have and they will respond or call you back, that may help with making your decision on what...
