• 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.

Dead 1330 on my F3-S...

Waiting on a new motor to come in. I've been hearing rumors that the oil pumps on the 1330's are a known issue. Has anyone else had any issues with an oil pump or the oil pump shaft or drive gear?
 
Have been watching SL like a hawk about all things 1330 engine related since buying mine in Sep '14 and have heard nothing about oil pump problems, rumors or fact.

Got the word today oil pump failure. Lots of internal damage. Broken oil pump shaft, bent and broken valves, piston damage, and damaged bearings. I guess the transmission is supposed to be ok. Waiting on BRP to deside what they are going to do.

Hopefully, BRP can get this fix. Hopefully, the dealer can you give a new can am spyder. If this does not get resolve at a timely manner you can always notify the Department of Consumer Affairs in Michigan. Here is the website and contact information: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/links/mi.htm

I am having trouble understanding this one. A failed oil pump will cause failure of any surface that moves against another surface, but an explosion? Obviously the components were moving as you were cranking the engine. The boom you heard had to be fuel exploding. To me I am inclined to believe that the cam was not turning, (broken cam chain or belt) and the engine fired with an intake valve open. This could also account for the bent valves. I don't know if the 1330 is an interference engine or not, but I suspect it is, due to the published compression. It also is very likely that the oil pump is driven off of the cam. I made my living trouble shooting problems and doing field service for a major manufacturer of turbine engines and I guess it has become an additction.
 
Good

That's good to hear - back on the road Friday. I had a friend who liked wearing hot pants so much that her bike caught on fire.....
