• 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.

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Tank is empty and it has been raining My tank is almost completely empty so was going to fill up next time out if it ever quit raining. Will fill up today or tomorrow since it looks like we will have 2-3 dry days. Just depends on how long it takes to get all put back together before I get to...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Tracking down the problem My approach is usually to go back to the last change before the problems started. That is always great advice, so here goes. The last mod I made was custom built floorboards. During that process, I had a lot of the tupperware off so was extra careful making sure all...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Canisterectomy already done The original owner had already removed the evap canister when I bought it. I still have the canister, but really had no intention of reinstalling. The purge valve is still in place, but the hose that went to the canister has been plugged off. Checked all of the...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Plug wire check out- no cracked vacuum lines The rear plug wire was at 3.8 ohms with a acceptable range of 3.24-5.53 ohms per the Can Am specs. The front wire shows 5.9 ohms with an acceptable range of 5.11-8.72 ohms. I fired up the Spyder in my dark garage (it has been rainy all day) and did...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Spark Plug wires and Plugs I took the spark plugs out this evening. Found that they were iridium spark plugs and burning very clean. The recall for the coil ground wire had already been done, but may not have been recorded. Looks like I am back to checking the plug wires for resistance issues...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Have you tried the Iridium spark plugs Couple of questions. Have you tried the iridium spark plugs or are you using the OEM plugs which are NGK DCPR9E per some of the other threads? The iridium is supposed to last longer which may solve some of the problems you have been having. My Spyder has a...

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Will try Different Fuel I did fill up at a different station yesterday and used premium. Will need to fill up next time out again, so will try premium again. I have been filling up at different stations lately simply due to needing gas, but have been using 87 octane. Has anyone tried Seafoam...

    Seat Help

    Kontour Seat I have about 500 miles on my Kontour seat plus Utopia backrest and am impressed. Lots of air flow and fanny comfort. I have never seen a Kontour seat up for resale, so there must be a reason.

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    Surprised about the lack of Response I called BRP and found that the spark plug wires are listed under 'Electrical Accessories--Cable Ass'y' so have found part numbers for the spark plug wires. Still wondering if there is a great aftermarket replacement that does not cost $40+ per wire. I...

    Two quick cheap mods

    Good mods I have the same mods and they both work well. Only difference was slightly crimping the bottom end of the #155 spring so tension holds it to the nut near your wire tie. It has stayed on with no sign of loosening.

    Need Part Number Help and Engine 'Stumble' issues

    My 2008 SE5 has started having some issues after warming up and starting up from a stop after running several miles. Starting from a stop, the engine 'stumbles' and then takes off and runs fine. It is almost like it is starved for fuel for a moment and then kicks in. I have checked all of the...

    Cup Holder

    Reminds me of a old John Deere Tractor Growing up, we had old John Deere tractors with a hand clutch. Really was pretty interesting to steer, work hydraulics, clutch, brakes and everything else. Dad put us on tractors when we were about nine. He would be in trouble with the law now, but that...

    My Diamond Plate Aluminum Floorboards

    Like many, I could not find floorboards that were comfortable without spending a fortune, so made the ones shown. The material is 3/16 aluminum diamond plate that was shaped at a local shop. The boards are 8 inches wide with a 5/8 'lip' on the outer edge and 1 3/4 inch lip on the inner edge...

    When you turn the key,nothing happens

    Stuck in first gear From one relative rooky to another, you may also want to find out another way to get back to neutral if you leave in gear when you turn it off. The manual actually tells you how to move the transmission to neutral using the 13mm wrench in the tool kit. One guess how I might...
