• 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.

    Thanx again Ron... I used to clean small airplane engine injectors in a sonic cleaner with Hoppes cleaner... I thought about soaking the Spyder injectors in Hoppes, but I was afraid it might attack the plastic... I'll go to town and get a sonic cleaner this weekend... I just replaced the...

    My 2011 RSS is Running Rich, but I can't open the older threads on this!? Any ideas?

    Thanx Ron... I bought BUDS and when I cut out one cylinder, or the other, they sound the same... It has a "galloping" sound when idling and blows black smoke when accelerating... It sat for five years with fuel in it and I got the old fuel out and replaced it... Wouldn't run even with the...

    My 2011 RSS is running rich, black smoke on acceleration, so I searched the forum and found this: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?19691-Exhaust-Y-Gasket-replacement" - only problem is that when I try to open it, I get "OOPS, can't find it"... I ordered the Honda gaskets...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    More fun... Without paying Mr. Rotax $175. for the special tool, how do I determine the pin numbers on the connector?... I was hoping for embossed numbers on the plug, but no joy...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    I found the two tabs and I'm to this point... The door is open, but no joy removing the connector from the ECM... Ugh... Maybe Santa will bring me some dynamite...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    I couldn't believe how hard it was to get the fuel tank out of my Wife's '13 RT... Too bad one has to pull the tank to replace the fuel pump in the first place... I'm not an engineer, but I could have designed the critter to be more mechanic friendly...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    Sorry about the picture quality, I found an online photo resizer and that's what I ended up with... What I have doesn't look like the cam lock connectors that apparently are used on newer models... I'll try to resize with better quality...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    Thanx Peter, I saw that information when I looked up the connectors on Google, but the connectors looked different from mine, is this the same connector you are referring to? They look different than the cam lock type I saw on Google...

    How can I remove Kostal ECM Connectors??

    2011 RSS. My injectors don't work and the manual lists one of the troubleshooting items is to check continuity between the injector and "A" connector on the ECM. My problem is that I can't figure out how to remove the Kostal connecter, and the manual doesn't address it. Obviously, I don't want...

    Phone mount for ST?

    GPS Mount... I'm very happy with this one on my RSS... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013MDDEDG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... I had to go with a longer clamp screw, but I like the fact that the tether doesn't block the screen and it is rock solid... David
