• 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.

    NHTSA complaints, and perspective

    I think I would be more forgiving to the problems IF I could get some decent backing telling me that they are looking into it and we'll get up fixed up, but no I keep getting the same BS run-around. Currently I'm still waiting to hear back from my dealer as to what steps are going to be next...

    NHTSA complaints, and perspective

    I don't think anybody on here is really trying to get something for nothing we all just want what we paid for to be made right. That don't seem too much to ask considering the price of these things. Everything made can and will have an issue at one or more point but it's how those issues are...

    Spyder Fires

    This is all so true!! My spyder was not puking fuel till the temps came back up above 70 degrees and now the fuel smell and sometimes dripping or even a puddle of fuel under the thing. My wife will not get on it and we bought it to ride together. So now what, were stuck with it and can't seem to...

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    I have wrapped my exhaust pipes and recently added additional heat shielding to the tank but I honestly don't think it's going to help or very little at best. When I was in there adding the shielding to the tank I noticed that the plastic sleeve covering the wires to the brake switches was...

    LOOKS LIKE A DRAINAGE HOSE

    The canister collects the vapors and at a certain RPM then the purge valve opens and is suppose to clear the canister. This has to happen at higher RPM's or it causes an ill running engine, at the higher RPM's it is not noticeable that it is even doing anything. And your right about everything...

    My Attempt at the Fixing the Horrid Fuel Smell

    There are a few posters on this thread that get it! :thumbup: The excessive heat is EXACTLT the problem causing the fuming. I picked my bike up from the dealer on Saturday with a new canister and instruction not to overfill the tank. Well after a 42 mile ride home and about 30 minuets in the...

    Another Reported Fire

    There will be more cases like this, overheated fuel tanks and melting parts and some of us have serious fuel leaks now.

    Heat issue

    This is why I won't hack off the evap canister or remove the catalytic converter. I have wrapped the exhaust pipes and added more heat shielding to the tank but have not added or removed anything else.

    LOOKS LIKE A DRAINAGE HOSE

    Yep it's an ongoing problem. My 2013 RTS has puked fuel on the garage floor in a small puddle about the size of a small dinner plate and it went in for service. The dealer replace the evap canister and BRP gave me instruction not to overfill the tank. Well I picked the bike up Saturday and drive...

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    And I thank you for your help and I'm in no way bashing for it, it's just at this point I don't feel that I should have to redesign the bike. If all of us with problems would just keep going back for the warranty that were entitled to they would have to step up and face the masses. Scotty has...

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    I'm really getting disgusted with the whole thing and it's starting to get a little old. It's not a simple thing to get it to and from the dealer, looks like they should supply a trailer with every purchase so you can get it serviced. I picked my spyder up on Saturday afternoon and my truck is...

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    How do you come to that conclusion? Removing the canister and opening the vent straight to the air is no better than it puking out the vent from the canister. The charcoal canister is suppose to capture the fumes and recycle them back into the engine to be burned. After riding home from the...

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    Just picked mine up from the dealer that replaced the evap canister and I was told not to overfill the gas tank. Temps are hovering around 80 today on the ride home and upon pulling it into the garage and shutting it off I noticed an extreme amount of gas vapors pouring out from that vent line...

    Did the Newest Software Tweak Fix The Heat on the 2013's?

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    There, that's exactly what I mean... it happens but by you doing this you could have damaged your spyder depending on what year it is. It appears that only the 13's have an issue with overfilling the tank and filling the evap canister. I believe that this is a bogus excuse for a weak design and...

    My 2013 RTS and the evap canister puking fuel adventure.

    Well it's been at the dealer since Tuesday evening and they have called to keep me informed yesterday and again today. The news today was not the greatest, the first call today was the dealer telling me they are waiting to hear back from BRP on what they are going to do with it, at first I...

    Did the Newest Software Tweak Fix The Heat on the 2013's?

    Yep I'm going to hold all judgment till the summertime temps return, however the bike is running way better now than when it was new. Now to see if my dealer can come up with an answer to why it's puking fuel out the evap canister vent. Dropped it off yesterday and have heard nothing so far.

    Got a strange question today.

    It has to do with the tires ability to shed the water out from under the tire. Unidirectional tires don't have "arrows" and can be mounted either way so pay close attention to the markings!

    Heat issue

    Some people (including me) are not going to spend any time or $$$ to repair a 20K to 30K bike that should be right for that kind of money. It would be different if they were purchased used and your just not happy with it, but come on a new bike! I dropped my 13rts off at the dealer yesterday for...

    Heat issue

    I'm having issues with my 13 RTS again as it's puking fuel out of the evap canister vent hose. Mine is going back to the dealer as soon as I figure out how I'm going to get back home?? Looking back now I wish I had bought a Wing as well, never been so disappointed in a product in my life!:(:(
