• 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.

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Thanks Bert. Yes the thread did wonder for a bit because I had to let the bike sit even longer and never got to do anything that was suggested. I had some great losses and I lost attention on the bike issue which sucks for the bike condition. Basically it comes down to what I’m familiar...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Dang Bert, why the hostility? You live in a beautiful part of the country and have a couple bikes which I assume are running and your not working on them in 105 degree heat. Are you saying don't use those hose clamps? If so I'll look into "fuel injector" hose clamps. My primary goal was to...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    CopperSpyder, what's up with the vacuum line? To save you some reading it's a 2014 RT with about 10,000 miles. Some of the exposed fuel lines were cracked and I've replaced the cracked line and fuel filter. But before that I ran Sea Foam (snake oil) through it, let it sit over night, and ran...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Well, it's still running like poop. Feels like a cylinder isn't firing. I has no power and even sounds like a cylinder is missing. So I'm thinking about taking it the rest of the way apart so I can get to the engine and need some advice from those who work on their engines. I'm work on my...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    I got the fuel filter in and the 2” long line replaced but I noticed the 1/4” return line is cracked too so back to O’Riely’s (unless it has a special fitting and needs to be sourced from Can-Am). There wasn’t the outer corrugated plastic sleeve so I assume the heat made it crack. I need to...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Ok, my Autozone is garbage but the O’Reilys came through. And it’s SAE 30R14T2

    Not sure if they gave me high pressure line

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    There is a small 2” piece of hose between the filter and the “y” and that’s the one that is cracked. I’m at Autozone now. I’ll run in and grab some fuel injector line.

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Seems like my other post disappeared. Thanks Bert, I'll be going through everything. I've got half the bike apart and decided it's too much to pull apart just to put new plugs and borescope. It only has 10,000 miles so they "should" be fine but I don't know what this bike has been through...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    Thanks for the responses. I had some time to look into it. It is a 2014 RT. I ran Sea Foam (1 can to about 5 gallons) through the engine with a large fan blowing in front of it. Let it sit over night and ran it again for another 20 minutes. Then I removed all that old fuel and put in 91...

    Spyder sat too long - now it sounds/runs bad! Any ideas?

    We let our Spyder sit too long and now it sounds like it’s only running on one cylinder. We tried the sea foam last year and it slowly cleaned up but now it sounds horrible and sea foam doesn’t help. I checked the oil and it’s WAY over where it’s supposed to be so I thought cracked block but...

    Belt vibration - what's the current thinking on this

    A little update. We took our Spyder to the Spyder riding class and I let my instructor ride it. He said he definitely felt some vibration and thought he heard some knocking in the front end but I think that was because 2 of the screws fell out of the dash. That day when I went to start it up...

    Continuing DESS Issue?

    Does the DESS warning appear if the battery is about to tank? Or if it's appearing now it has nothing to do with the battery?

    Where to find parts - need dash panel screw

    Odd, I found the parts on Cheapcycleparts, ordered them, and PayPal charged for it but their site says transaction failed. Tried calling them and they say they're closed. It's only 16:30 and they don't close till 18:00. Is this company shady?

    Where to find parts - need dash panel screw

    2014 Spyder RT, I've ridden 4 times and last night one of the screws fell out of the dash panel. The other one on the top was almost out. Not sure what was going on that the instrument cluster was removed but someone left the screws loose. Where can I find small parts like the security head...

    Continuing DESS Issue?

    I'm going to get in on this so it's easier to locate later because we had this error the first time we brought our 2014 home but thought it was low battery. Maybe I should relocate as others suggested and keep a spare module with me? Tim

    Belt vibration - what's the current thinking on this

    It's not extreme like the wobble from a worn out tie rod. It feels like running over those grooves cut on the side of the road but no where near as bad. But it feels like it's under my a$$. Riding two people also and we are both about 190 lbs. I thought at first it was the road but it...

    Belt vibration - what's the current thinking on this

    Thanks for the welcome, awesome to be here. I do not have the gauge but would be willing to look into that. Not sure what BRP specs are, no manual. We will be taking a Spyder course this weekend so maybe they will go over that.
