• 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.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    It sounds like you found the cause of a problem that you introduced. Have you found the cause of the problem that you had in the first place?

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    My post only applies to a very specific case, not shifting in general. By holding the paddle a bit longer when attempting to shift from 1st to N, I was unintentionally invoking a double shift. But, since I hadn't pressed the R button, nothing happened.

    Where do I get replacement Ryker 600 brakes and rotors?

    The intake plastics are notorious for making a rattle or buzz. Many have added weatherstrip to quiet them. Do a search.

    Turn signals work sometimes; hazards always - maybe a Cluster problem?? Ideas?

    Try searching "2011 Spyder RS" on eBay. If you find a seller for any part, try contacting them to see if they have a cluster. Salvage operators may not post all the parts that they may have available.

    Trying to Remove the Front Turn Signal Light/Position Light - any hints? Ideas?

    I expected to find it under "Body" but did not. I did a search on "position light" to find it.

    Fitted LED's, got the Hyper flash; now can't get front direction lights out! HELP?!

    I have a 2014 RSS that I recently bought used. It has standard turn signal bulbs, but the previous owner had installed amber and red LEDs in place of the reflectors on the fenders. Don't know if that was the cause, but I had hyperflash. I used the LaMonster technique, and is working so far...

    2024 Spyder issues make me wonder if I should buy yet?

    I changed color on one of my helmets with a rattle can.

    New Spyder rider - thought I had a shifting problem, but found this...

    I've been riding my 2014 RSS for about a month. When I tried to shift from 1st to Neutral, sometimes nothing would happen. I would have to do it 2 or 3 times to get it to work. I recently came across this (attachment) in the Service Manual. I realized that when downshifting gears while riding, I...

    Any ideas to get a stripped Transmission drain plug out?

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Yes, I screwed up when I said "TCM connector". When you disconnect the solenoid connector, you make the resistance test using the connector end that runs to the solenoids. When you make the test light test, you use the solenoid connector end that runs to the TCM. You do not disconnect the TCM...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I'm a bit confused by this, as the test light is not used for the resistance test. Disconnect the solenoids connector, run the engine, put your test light on pins 8 and 1 at the solenoid connector that runs to the TCM, not the connector that runs to the solenoids. I would expect to see the test...

    My experiences with Front tire mounting...

    I took my rear wheel to the local tire shop. They said they could mount the tire but not balance because the hole was too small. I got it done at a Can Am dealer, they wanted the brake rotor on to balance properly.

    Spyder RS 2012 SE5 VSS failure

    I picked up a used Ryker SAS for $70 and a used Spyder yaw rate sensor for $30 on eBay. Both worked fine. I do have BUDS to calibrate them.

    Need to replace my frunk cable! What are the steps to replacing?

    Service manuals are cheap and well worth the cost: https://www.flipbookpublishing.shop/#/

    Thinking about buying a Can Am - looking for advice??

    I have both a 2019 Ryker Rally and a 2014 Spyder RSS. For you two, Spyder.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    Thanks. I guess the graphic is that of a solenoid. I will check headlight aim. I'm also installing a pair of Denali aux lights.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    The service manual wiring diagram has this high beam bulb graphic, but I don't know what it means. The manual text does not address this at all.

    High beam lamp - how do you access it? What bulb to use? 2014 RSS

    How do you access the high beam lamp on the projector headlamp? Low beam is obvious. Low beam is H7; what is the high beam bulb? I bought a 2014 RSS used. I rode at night for the first time, and the lighting was terrible. It appears the owner installed these LED low beam lamps, and they are...

    Spyder RS 2012 SE5 VSS failure

    With those error codes all over the place, it suggests a more systemic problem than a single sensor or module. One more battery check with your multimeter is to measure voltage while cranking. A SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) problem can cause a VSS fault. You need BUDS to rezero it, but one Ryker...
