• 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.

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    BR - do you think it would be worthwhile to send MeudtPG's output shaft to a metallurgical laboratory for analysis? I'm thinking it might help us scope the problem and better understand BRP's decision difficulties. Even though I'm not directly affected, I am indirectly (BRP's future) so will...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    Your SM6 does not have a TCM or HCM. The EOP is in the manifold below the oil filter. It appears to be a two-wire switch for my 2014. If yours has three wires then it's a transducer. Now here's the funny part: the switch is EOP in the schematic and OPS in the text.

    What did you do to Connect a flat 4 pin to a Bushtec flat 6 pin trailer plug?

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    In my service manual the EOP is located at F-6 between the GBPS and AAPTS. The fault codes can easily be retrieved via the console (there are two types: transient while the engine is running; and permanent while it isn't) but I don't know how.

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    My service manual shows both switch wires are isolated from ground* and are not shared with any other circuit. Also the switch diagram implies the switch is normally-closed, which enables a circuit check as part of the POST process. One way to verify this is to disconnect the switch and...

    What did you do to Connect a flat 4 pin to a Bushtec flat 6 pin trailer plug?

    Smokey - it's easier to help when you provide part and model numbers, specifically Can-Am adapter and Bushtec trailer. From what I've read, the Canadian trailer lights are independent Tail, Brake, Left Turn, and Right turn circuits/lamps (vice US which combines Brake and Turn in a single...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    The engine oil pressure switch* state is detected by the ECM and sent to the console via CANBUS. Older consoles illuminate indicators or not depending on ... whatever. Maybe next week the indicator may show and maybe not. Another factor is the engine is dry sump and retains a modicum of oil...

    Both L and R turn signals Start off slow then speed up! Any ideas why? Fixes?

    After you've convinced your console (which is where the turn signals are controlled) to flash your LEDs normally be aware some very bright LEDs get hot (like mine) so when you're waiting at an intersection they will hyperflash after a minute or so. They'll return to normal by the time you reach...

    Parking flasher indicators on dash dimming when in reverse gear - any ideas? Fixes?

    iSP -- if it ain't a feeble old battery then it's a feeble old Spyder. And we feeble oldsters keep running even if our lights ain't as bright as before.:2thumbs:

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    This is very unfortunate for the Spyder community. Spyders are not a big profit center for BRP - the quads are. Depending on the recall scope our next 3-wheeler purchase might be a Harley Freewheeler.

    New keys, maintenance, and upgrade items, etc. Any tips/advice?

    Many owners find the DESS to be fussy under a variety of conditions. Unless you have specific security concerns you should deactivate your DESS which eliminates the need to program a second key. Until then do not lose or damage the key you have now as a world of grief awaits if you do...

    Parking flasher indicators on dash dimming when in reverse gear - any ideas? Fixes?

    Yep mine do that too sometimes. And sometimes not. Same with MPH and RPM indicators below "analog" gauges. Different every ride: both, only one, none, whatever. Years are taking their toll.

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

    Dyno data is good. Drag strip data is better. And more fun!:D

    Anyone here added an oil pressure gauge? What gauge, & where?

    Yep, me. Works great, very interesting to observe pressure changes responding to various riding conditions. HCM pressure still on the To-Do list. Search is your friend.

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

    The engine specifications tell the story without looking at dyno charts. DOHC 4-valve multi-point FI huge airbox/intake manifold oversquare 3-cylinder with 12:1 compression and balance shaft. This is a horsepower not a torque engine. Running it between 4k-8K RPM will keep you smiling.
