stalling issue getting worse along with idle

[BajaRon]

if they do end up being the issue the purge valve is 48.99 and the canister which I will replace as well cost 69.99. Total will be about 120. Not to bad if they end up being the problem. Oh I forgot to answer Dgoebel, I am not sure what fuel I am running. I just pull up and fill it with premium, I think its 91 or 92 octane. I just figure in a high performance machine why run the 87.

Why not save a lot of grief and money and just eliminate both the canister and the purge valve? Even if you spend all this time and money who's to say it won't just happen again? These unnecessary attachments are just a problem waiting to happen.

Even if this does not fix your problem you'll be way ahead!

Update...
I have decided to eliminate the canister since the machine looks like it was hit by a bomb anyways. What do I have to lose so I watched the video on canisterectomy and am confused on one section. In the video he talks about cutting all 3 lines but then he only shows how to connect 2 of them back up. there is no mention of the third one. Has anybody done this than can explain what I do with the 3rd hose. Also, I did go ahead an order new wires from Baja ron. I saw no need to put the old wired back in. After I get them and put it all back together I will run some seafoam through it as will. Before i tore it all apart as long as I kept the throttle slightly cracked, 1800-2000 rpms it would run all day long. Now i just get to wait and ponder until the plugs show up....

P.S. Here's how my baby looks right now, she aint to happy.......MEDIC....

While you still have it apart make sure that you looked at the correct vaccum hoses, the problem ones are on the left side of the bike, they are about 1 1/2" long and are run from the MAPs sensor to the thottle bodies, I found it easier to unbolt the sensor to replace the hoses.

Also your in so far you may want to check the valve clearances, if you do pay attention on reinstalling the valve cover gaskets if you don't want to be taken it apart again, you don't have to ask why I know this. I ended up glueing the gasket to the valve cover to keep it in place.

Update but now even more fustratred.

Well, I got most of it back together, got it fired up and low and behold it ran and purred like a kitten, I am going with either the plugs were bad (Cause they looked terrible) or a wire issue. Just when I think I got it back together I go to put the mirrors on and low and behold the little clips things in the back are broken. SIGH. Once again it has to sit while I order parts. I may just duck tape the damn things on then when people ask why I will simply tell them because the duck tape is better then the garbage Can am is putting out.

Fustratred all to hell,

Jim

At least you got the hard part done, consider installing the Magic Mount For the mirrors, than you will not have that frustration every time you remove the mirrors.

:agree:+1 on the Magic Mirrors, Don't order those sad replacement clips!
Lamonster can probably get you a set of Magic Mirror magnetic mounts way faster than ordering the stock parts.
Best self maintenance mods I purchased for the Spyder. Now you keep the top clips/pins and just replace the two bottom pins/clips with super strong magnets and magnetic plates. So easy to remove and replace the mirrors.

Thanks for the update

Just curious, I have a brand new 2015 RS-S that is doing similar idle fluctuations, since mine has less than 1000 miles on it and it's still covered under warreny I will bring it to the dealer and make it their problem too. My question is did you remove and bypass the canister? If so how sure are you that that wasn't the issue? Either way, I'm glad to hear that yours is fixed. Like yours, when I'm out riding it up in the RPM's she runs like a champ, never skips a beat.

I did the same, just the 2 bottom pins/clips, ordered the magnets on line & picked up the rest of the hardware at the local hardware store. Under $20 for everything and about 30 minutes ror each mirror conversion.
ALL my mirror vibrations are GONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Very easy fix and now very easy to R&R the mirrors too!!!!!

I knew that the canister because I replaced it first with the bypass and it ran just as bad. Would not idle more than a minute before stalling. After I replaced the plugs and wires it fired right up and purred like a kitten. Not sure if the problem was the plugs it the wires but it was one of them. Looking at the plugs they did look like hell. I also tested the wires for continuity against the factory specs and they seemed okay so I am leaning towards bad plugs.
