• 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.

    Vee tire or Kumho Ecsta

    Kenda KR20 Kanine Quote ''greater mileage than stock, better handling than car tire replacements''. The question is which car tyre? Vee-Rubber-VT MAYBE.

    Apology

    Nothing I posted came up as [******]. I don't understand why you have repeated the warning '' CopperSpyder'' had sent to me. My answer is above, post 1 ''apology.'' Please read it again....treva

    Apology

    I've been warned by the "powers to be" that I have bypassed the Spyderlovers Forum Filters for language. This particular word was used in my latest thread "reduced power". That word in Australia is not classified as a swear word, and especially when used in my particular context, but it is...

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Thanks Dennis in Lodi. Yes i've suspected all along that something was ''altered'' for want of a better word during the service. I'll keep digging.

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Dealer rang & said BRP are aware of this issue. They Need to do some more tests to confirm, but that won't happen for a least a week. I didn't mention one of the main reasons I took the bike in for service is the upper & lower ball joints on both left & right front suspension arms are shot. They...

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Thanks Revalden, I did look down the air intake [ air filter removed ] after Cobwebs mentioned it. All clear up to the bend in the intake. Can't see around the bend. If it were a rag etc. it would effect revs in all gears.

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Thanks Cobwebs, I see the pressure & temperature sensor exhaust emission component. Ref#17. The tech said it was called ''Atmospheric pressure sensor''. & showed me the wording on his phone. Probably the same thing. Do you know if that particular part affects only 1st/2nd/3rd gears? I haven't...

    Labor charges

    Just another avenue to gouge the customer ie fictitious times to perform a job. I'll bet if it were a warranty job & the ''book'' said 2 hrs, they may struggle to finish the job in the allocated time.

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    I think you are spot on hypurone. When I rang the dealer & explained the problem, I did ask if the tech had downloaded any updates, he hesitated before he answered no. I didn't say anything but I took that as a ''yes''. Going to the dealer today to sought it out. I know you had your ECU flashed...

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply cobweb. The bike was running perfect before I dropped it off at the dealer. Something has gone amiss during that period. If debris was sucked into the intake when the tech test rode the bike post service ,It would cause reduced power in all gears. Still, No harm in having a...

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Thanks Ccol/PW2013STL. That's the first thing I thought & looked at the gauges but no Eco symbol. Pressed the mode button for a couple of seconds & sure enough the Eco light came on, ruling that out. It does feel like the Eco mode is on albeit a lot slower for the engine to spool up.

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Yesterday I had the dealer perform the annual service on my 2107 F3-S. I change the oil/filter & check everything else is ok the day before taking it to the dealer. I get them to verify [for a small fee] what I've done to keep my warranty. I also asked them to center the steering via buds. I...

    Oil filter

    The HifloFiltro HF556 oil filter thats fits a John Deere buck 650 auto, should fit a Can-am spyder with the 1300cc engine... right? That part number tells the whole story regardless of what engine it will fit, or am I missing something due to age?

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    Lamonster garage sells a much bigger diameter roller to fit the OEM damper. In desperation [ see post 7 ] I purchased 2 & with some lathe work fitted them to the RR dampers hoping they would not move the belt out of alignment. No such luck. Now the dampers sit in a draw.

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    That roller mounting bolt looks like it's loose. Did you find it that way on inspection? If so, that's the problem.
