• 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.

    What's the process for retrieving a CE code on a 2013 Spyder ST?

    Hey all Problem is solved now - code was the P1174 rear bank running lean code. Dealership replaced the purge valve and said it was good to go. CEL came on 10 miles later. I tried a canister-ectomy but CEL came on again 2 days later Finally decided to swap the MAP sensor vacuum hoses...

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    Well crap - CEL is back on again, same lean bank warning. I’m going to swap out the vacuum lines on the MAP sensor.. anything else I should try?

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    Day 3 after the Canister-ectomy.. no gas smell in the garage and, so far, no Check Engine Light. If it makes it to the end of the week without the CEL coming back I'll call that a success. Still going to address the MAP sensor vacuum lines as a preventative but wanted to let this one settle...

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    Yep - I read it wrong. P1174 was the code which is related to a Lean Bank. This is the same error code that they chased for the last month ending in the replacement of the purge valve. so - in reading the forums there is a lot of talk about vacuum lines possibly solving this. I am curious if...

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    Looks like it's back to the dealership for me to get the codes read If it's the same lean bank error that was popping before I think I may try to do the Canister-ectomy and replace the vacuum lines.. see if that solves it since the Dealership was pretty much out of ideas when they replaced the...

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    99% sure that was the error code that my 2013 Spyder ST threw today (1 day after getting it back from being in the dealer for a month to fix the Check Engine Lean Bank code (replaced the Purge Valve)). I have been looking but can't find that code referenced and would like to see if I can...

    What's the process for retrieving a CE code on a 2013 Spyder ST?

    So. We're approaching the third week with my Spyder at the dealership. It was in for a few days initially where they identified the code as a "Lean Bank" warning and suggested it was likely caused by the altitude during my South Dakota trip. They cleared the code and charged me $150 for...

    Hey Columbia - do you have the sport rack on the back of your Spyder? I did a video on how to attach a Givi Topcase to the Spyder ST using the standard Givi Monokey mounting plate and the Can Am Sport Rack (which you may still be able to find if you don't have it already)...

    What's the process for retrieving a CE code on a 2013 Spyder ST?

    I tried with it on and with it running.. and with key in on position but Spyder off (CE showing). Blank screen every time. At this point do I need to take it to a dealership or is there another method of retrieving what is causing the code?

    What's the process for retrieving a CE code on a 2013 Spyder ST?

    Absolutely nothing. I had driven about 90 miles on Friday with no issues. Parked in the garage overnight, next evening I took it to grab ice cream for the wife and I. Shut it down in the drive thru (about 5 miles from house) to not have the exhaust cause issues for person behind me. Rolled...
