• 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?

    Thank you but I ordered the kit from Spyder Boyz and they refunded it after I shipped it back. I've heard good things about your products and I'm looking forward to using more of them as we get into this more. The Spyder runs good now. The only thing I'm looking at now is maybe the sway bars...

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

    It was scheduled at the shop for brake bleed and rear tire. They said the codes were coming from the fact that the fuel lines were falling apart. Not sure how but codes are gone and they replaced all the fuel lines with a newer grade to match the small piece i did. It runs great now but I...

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

    Ok, I'll try that. The smell is like a carbon monoxide smell but amplified if that makes sense.

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

    Everything was running great when it was apart but after changing the oil and reassembly now I'm getting the P1172 code. It's intermittent flashes on the bottom screen so I'm hoping a vacuum line is loose but my wife was reading where people have been replacing them since they're not clamped...

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

    I was afraid that might be the case and I didn’t just temporarily fix it. I’ll look at it and see. It’s on the front left if that helps. I did unplug most of the connectors I could find and put dielectric compound on them so maybe I fixed the problem that way 🤷*♂️

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

    Engine roughness - loosing power... The results! This is the results thread from my other thread about letting my Spyder sit too long and what I thought created engine problems. After the discussion about bad fuel and such not causing problems I replaced spark plugs, checked coils and all was...

    An alternative Thermal Grease for Spark Plug Threads

    My shipping was free (pick up locally) because I have an account with them. Its an option if you're a pilot or if you visit an aviation parts store. Just ask someone at your local small airport.

    An alternative Thermal Grease for Spark Plug Threads

    I found an option for our spark plugs to meet the Wacker P-12 thermal paste replacement. Use at your risk but it appears it has the same properties. Some of my pilot peeps use it on the Rotax engines in the kit planes so I thought look on the aviation web sites...

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

    This is what they gave us (more of the same oil in box not shown). I want to order magic mirrors on next order. The local shop said they use anti seize and dielectric compound on the spark plugs instead of thermal grease and silicone. What do you guys use?

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

    I'm going to post anything I do from here forward. I have the oil so I'll post it before I do anything. Probably getting the plugs in tomorrow, just need to stop by the shop and get my torque wrench. 14 nm I think.

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

    Ok, I'll get these plugs in and get the codes. Reset the ECU. The battery is a Motobatt AGM that's just over 3 years.

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

    Ok, the plugs I have shown my wife picked up when we first started having the problem out of a guess so we will have to source the silicone and thermal paste (I wonder if it's the same silicone at HD in plumbing and same thermal paste as CPU chips use?). She was just going for oil and filters...

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

    Bert, I meant the bit of white stuff near the electrode but good to know it’s not anti seize lube. Yeah the new plugs sound better. At 10k miles I didn’t expect that much black on them. Do they look normal?

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

    Spark plugs look ok I guess. . I’ll just clean off the excess anti-seize or maybe put in the new ones I have.

    Is that a different manual than the one from Service Manual Warehouse?

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

    They sold me ignition wires and this doesn’t have a traditional coil and wires. I didn’t post the pic. There’s a collection of nuts or seeds in there so I’m not sure how this bike was cared for before I bought it.

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

    Ok, what am I looking at here. I expected to see spark plugs and ignition wires. �� I would like to look at the plugs just to rule out the easy things. I assume it’s here.

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

    Doug, i wasn’t going to go any deeper than I did on removing parts of the bike but the more I took off the more missing screws I found. So I have the air boxes off so I can see the plugs and fuel rails. Should I inspect anything at this point or get some more screws and get the breather back...
