• 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.

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    This gives me renewed hope. I will know today. Waiting for Amazon to bring me a 16mm hex socket.

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    I have a (possible) seized 1330 engine from a 2015 Spyder F3. I’ll know more tomorrow. My questions are: Where is a good place to find a Remanufactured engine? Used engine? Can I swap with any 1330 engine? Do I need to be concerned with the transmission? Mine has the semiautomatic. I have...

    Thank you. I can’t find any used or rebuilt engines…. Not sure where to look.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    NEW APPROACH! I am hoping I can get this motor free'd up. Today, I plan on removing the plugs and adding some Marvel's Mystery Oil into the spark plug inlets. HOPEFULLY, that will free up the engine. It froze for a reason. No oil circulation, no coolant circulation, etc. First things first...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I am going to tear the plastic off tomorrow (again) and get to the spark plugs and see if I can get some penetrating oil in there and hopefully unsieze the motor.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    IF a replacement engine is needed, are all of the 1330 engines the same? Can am made several models with this engine. I was hoping they are interchangeable.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I agree with you! What made them change the plugs? I am thinking that there was a bad cylinder and they thought changing plugs would fix that. May have made it worse. I am going to pick up a torx socket and try to manually turn this engine. If it turns, I’ll keep searching. If not, I’ll find a...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    One tool I don't have is a 19mm hex bit socket to try and manually turn the engine. I will get one at lunch tomorrow and see if it budges.

    Very kind of you. I am in Pittsburgh, so it looks like we are on opposite ends.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    It was kept in a heated garage. There could still be damage but as I was looking it over today and yesterday (10+ hours), I saw no signs of any damage.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I have owned 8 scooters/trikes. I have TONS of experience with them. NO experience with a Can Am Spyder. All the tools I need.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    I have NEVER owned a Can Am before. *I own a service manual. Purchased the download as soon as I got home. *The service manual is nearly a thousand pages. Not reading an entire service manual. *I have shared the codes. *I checked the coolant and oil when I got it home. *The previous owner...

    Battery fully charged and it is the motor that clicks, not the starter. Glad to get a video, if that would help.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Yes, based on what you said yesterday, I put it on the charger overnight. So, I am heading to the garage in a few minutes and will test.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    It was an older lady. She cruised on it and one day it just stopped. I doubt she ran it very hard but who knows what kind of maintenance she did or didn't do. As an attempt to remedy the problem, it is my assumption that she had the oil changed, plugs changed, etc. (not sure what the etc. is...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    No checks were made on the VIN. As a new owner, I didn't even know that was a possibility. The bike was running when I went to see it at the seller's house. Although, it was running rough. I got it home and put a new battery in it, since it did not come with the correct battery. I did not let...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    13,000 miles Plugs were changed by the previous owner, using oem. A few codes but mostly related to ambient temp. sensor, etc. Not running hot at all while I was running it. Just let it run as I circulated the new gas and gas treatment.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Great point. I guess, I am not 100% sure. It seized up on me and won't turn. What should I be checking for? I do know that the sprocket turns. I think the rough idle was from a bad cylinder. Just assuming at this point.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Just picked up a 2015 Spyder yesterday. When I was looking at the bike, it had a rough idle and would not stay running. The first thing I thought of was bad gas, water in the line, etc... NEVER did I think it would need a new engine. I have had scooters for some time and have seen very similar...
