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.

Are you sure the fuel smell is coming from the oil? Getting it analyzed will not only confirm one way or the other. But also tell you how much, if any, fuel is in your oil.
BRP oil tends to foam more than most. Hard to say just by this, though I'm assuming you're saying it is foaming more than usual.
Could be a leaking injector allowing fuel into the cylinder after shutdown. That would definitely do it.

Little checking.....
Throttle body takes it time shutting down and if you have any leaking going on it would allow that amount to get through. After a few rydes this could become a significant amount. Your oil would become a lot thinner along with the smell of gasoline. You could compare some fresh oil to the oil in the motor and see if can notice a difference. :thumbup:

Did you ever figure out the problem? I'm having the same issue after being in storage for a year. 09 gs manuel. I checked oil before ride. Got about 20 miles down the rode and the bike shut off while riding. Checked oil it was full to the top of the dipstick and smelled like fuel. Spark plugs look good still. Any ideas?

You said you checked oil before the ride!! You warmed it up till the fan came on right?? Then checked it??

The fans come on when the coolant is moving above operating temperature. Unless you're actually riding your Spyder, the coolant temperature has virtually nothing to do with your oil temperature. It is the oil, not the coolant, that needs to be at operating temperature. Letting your Spyder idle long enough for the coolant to come to operating temperature is hard on the engine. Best to ride it.

Bike starts for a few seconds then dies. If I give it any gas at all it dies immediately. I've changed the fuel injectors, fuel filter, spark plugs, oil and gas. Tried disconnecting the juice box and it does the same thing.. What can I try next? I'm trying to avoid taking it to the dealer.
