SPYDER DPS RECALL UPDATE FROM BRP

[BajaRon]

My concern, strictly on speculation, is that the reprogramming was to help prevent fumes from building up and venting (possible fire hazard) from the charcoal cannister. I would suggest if you pinch the hose at least add a hose extension hose to the one coming from the charcoal cannister to vent fumes out from under the plastics so the fumes won't accumulate.

Probably not necessary for testing the pinch to see if it works. But the clamp/pinch is a temporarly troubleshoot. It is not going to work long term.

As you say, if the pinch works then you need to take the next step to modify the system to make it work long term. I think Lamont has a "How To" video for this on the Shop Talk forum.

Maybe they hired Sarah Palin to write it..... :roflblack:

No more evap can for me--- seems to run pretty good ---- BUT --- I'm not feeling my steering is as easy as it was right after the update--- going back in and going to request a NEW DPS .

Ok, I think that makes 5 for 5. Not too bad! Glad it worked!

This shouldn't be necessary though, don't you agree?...meaning, what the...??

:agree: It should not be necessary. In a perfect world. But overcome and conquer. It gives you a feeling of accomplishment and control. (Got to look on the bright side!)

Look at it this way. The members here figured this out before the Tech's at BRP did. We are a 'Get'er done' bunch of Spyder Riders!

Sorry to be dumb but which side of the bike is the hose? Just don't want to spend time taking off the wrong piece of tupperware.

Agreed...lots of bright and caring people here.

I don't have any problems with this issue but I really do feel bad for those here who are having this and other problems following the update...

We all bought the Spyder for fun...any amount of stress takes away from the 'fun' aspect...hopefully all will be figured out soon...

Hopefully those with problems will let us know how it goes after Recall Software Rev. A.

Oh Great! :yikes:

For those of us that like the original update...do we chance the revision with the fix for something that isn't broken?

When will this Merry-Go-Round stop? :yikes:
