• 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.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I am asking the mods to close this thread down/delete it. I have another thread open on the 1330cc page that is more to the point, since it is confirmed that the engine needs replaced. I now have another thread open in the Ace 1330 Shop Talk Section/sub-forum that is more to the point, since it...

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    Thank you. Amazingly, I found a salvage yard 5 miles from my house that has an RT Limited with an engine. Need to go look at it to see if it fits, if it works and how many miles.

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    RT engine. Will it fit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/404518538697?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11050.m43.l1123&mkcid=26&ch=osgood&euid=7a01af5b67584efb83ad0c08bb6bffdc&bu=44202402287&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20240131084856&segname=11050

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I am not suing an 80 year old guy. I got a great deal on the bike (now I understand why) and even if they did not disclose the problems, I still have a beautiful bike that needs an engine. I will go from there. Just need to find a darn engine!

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    That is my question. Will an RT engine fit in an F3 bike with somewhat ease?

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Yes, yesterday I contacted all of the local can am dealers and gave them the previous owners name and vin number. One of the dealers contacted me back and said that the vehicle had been in for service some time ago and this is what they found. Wish they would have told me that when I purchase...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Bad news. The next question, where to find an engine? Crate? Used? Can I do this myself? (more a question for me)

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    New borescope coming tomorrow to check out the cylinders. Would that cause the crankshaft to move around 180 degrees (assuming) and stop?

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I mis-spoke in the video. All lobes are moving just fine. As a matter of fact, I disconnected the cylinder head by removing the timing belt and I still get the same stop, in the same location.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Really appreciate your response. All lobes are moving fine. The crankshaft is very easy to turn until it stops. I originally thought that the timing chain may have jumped, since when I pulled the valve cover, the EX and IN were not aligned. That certainly could have cause the problem. I...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I have had a service manual since the day I got the bike.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Absolutely agree... now, to find what is preventing it from turning... Timing chain jump, perhaps?

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    UPDATE. I was able to get the crank turned, TO A CERTAIN POINT, and then it froze. However, all of the cylinders move freely. Here is a video. In the video I say that the "top lobe does not turn", when it does in fact turn. My borescope is just a hair to big... darn! Perhaps something is...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Update: The boresope was a hair too large to get into the spark plug hole. I was able to turn the crank to a certain point. At that point, it froze. I could turn it back the other way and when it reached that point, it froze again. Cylinders all move freely, up and down. (long screw driver...

    I now have a borescope to do some digging. I will grab some pictures and share.

    Great point. I will recheck every one, just in case.

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    I don’t even know where to begin to buy a crated motor, if needed. I have plenty of money for a crate motor... WHERE ARE THEY?
