• 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.

    1 gear not engaging

    Did you ever get a satisfactory result re your issues, and what was the problem? After completing a ride recently, my 2011 RSS SE5 has the same issues, and as the nearest Can Am dealer is 950 miles away, I would like to get some idea where to start looking to resolve the problem.

    Multiple Error Codes - VSS & DPS, P0600, U0126, U1101, U1150, & U1160 - any ideas?

    After 5 months, I have been informed that the error has been resolved. Despite the multiple error codes recorded in BUDS, evidently the problem was a faulty spark plug lead. When the engine was hot, there was a split in one of the spark plug caps which was causing a short between the lead and...

    Multiple Error Codes - VSS & DPS, P0600, U0126, U1101, U1150, & U1160 - any ideas?

    Four months later it is still at the dealers and they are still trying to find the fault. Not very impressed at this stage. I have contacted BRP Australia twice, once after the first week describing the faults and was told to take it to your local dealer who have the trained technicians to...

    Multiple Error Codes - VSS & DPS, P0600, U0126, U1101, U1150, & U1160 - any ideas? On a recent trip, my 2011 RSS SE5 stalled at an intersection and brought up the following on the dash, VSS Fault and Check DPS, & VSS fault dash pilot light and when trying to restart it the idling was very...

    Valve shims

    I am in Alice Springs, nearest dealer is 1550kms away, so freight is not quick here. The kit from the USA costs around A$150 and supplies 2 of each shim. I will check out Precision Shims and make a decision. Thanks for the help.

    Valve shims

    Does anyone have an accurate measurement of the outside diameter of the valve shims for the 998 Spyder engine? I am looking at purchasing a kit from AF1 Racing and getting it sent out to Australia and just want to be sure I am getting the correct kit.

    Grease Fitting

    Recently replaced all 8 grease nipples on the front A arms with M6 x 45 degree nipples, only problem I had with my 2011 RSS was that I had to drop the top A arms an inch to install the back nipple. There was not enough room on this model to swing the grease nipple without it hitting the tapered...

    Speedometer error

    I agree with you IdahoMtnSpyder, I do not believe that they have any idea of the sensors / electrics relating to the Spyder and I am not prepared to take a chance on their kit. At least the speedo is reading high, so in my favour, unfortunately I am a bit heavy handed with the throttle on most...

    Speedometer error

    Yes, they do list a kit for our Spyders but are unable to offer any information regarding the pickup point for the speed sensor. Without definite instructions, I am reluctant to purchase this kit and hook up to one of the three sensors on our bikes and input a different value on that one sensor...

    Speedometer error

    Yes, I have tried 2 different GPS and with the odometer, a couple of small towns are 252 km apart (156 miles), the tripmeter reads 274km (170 miles). I am planning a 8,500km + (5,300 mile) trip early next year down our eastern coastline where the local police are very active on speeding...

    Speedometer error

    Thanks all for the feedback. Speeds checked against GPS, and distance between 2 fuel stops of a known distance apart. Nearest dealer to me is 950 miles away and I will not be near any dealer for another 10 months (I live in the centre of Australia, nothing is close). HealTech electronics which...

    Speedometer error

    Has anyone used the Speedohealer unit to correct an incorrect speedo / odometer error. I have a relatively large error, correct at 35 mile, 68 v 60 and odometer reads 170 for a 156 mile trip. I wish to use this Speedohealer unit but am reluctant to do so because of the Spyders electrics. Has...

    Speedohealer speedo fix

    Speedo error Going by the tyre sizes, circumference and revs per mile, the 215/60-15 is still not sufficient to correct the speedo error (still several mph out at 60mph, and greater at the higher speeds that we are allowed to travel here). Evidently, going by the distributor, he has sold the...

    Speedohealer speedo fix

    Speedohealer A bit more information, speedo is generally correct at 35mph, but progressively gets worse the higher speeds you do, 68 v 60mph, 170 on the odometer compared to 156 actual distance.

    Speedohealer speedo fix

    Speedohealer I have a 2011 RSS and the speedo reads around 6-7% over the actual speed / distance.

    Speedohealer speedo fix

    My 2011 RSS SE5 has a relatively large speedo / odometer error which I would like to correct with the use of a Speedohealer unit. Has anyone fitted this unit to their machine and what speedo sensor pickup did you use? I am reluctant to fit this unit to one of the wheel sensors as I believe this...
