• 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.

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Yeah, that’s quite a change in location focus from the clutch oil pressure sensor (Low - the one with the housing), to the engine oil pressure light switch; a higher point on the engine. And realizing we don’t know what you’re seeing, how long that you’ve owned this thing, how heavy it’s...

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    I suppose this could be a typical area for confusion. The 1330 SE6 has both, an Oil Pressure SWITCH, and an Oil Pressure SENSOR. (Both were referred to as switches in parts lists until halfway through 2016) The Oil Pressure Switch is associated with engine oil pressure, and is located...

    Emergency Flasher button broken - I would appreciate any advice on repairing or replacing the button.

    Not knowing what you've already done, we'll start at the beginning. Go out to the bike and step on the brake pedal and see if your brake lights work. If not, fuse F2 in the Right Side Fuse Box - right side as you're sitting on the bike. Same fuse as the emergency flashers. As seldom as that...

    Any ideas/help to find/fix this “Disappearing” fluid from the manual clutch reservoir - 2017 F3-S

    The good news is that it can't get inside. The bad news is that it could be expensive. Follow the hydraulic line down to the slave cylinder to where it bolts to the left side of the case. When you actuate the clutch lever, the slave piston moves towards the case and pushes on the Clutch Release...

    F3S SM6 showing check engine light/message randomly - any thoughts/ideas??

    A jumper. Made me look. Thank-You. Sure enough, the F3 has a dummy resistor installed where the Clutch Solenoid Valve (CSV) goes in the harness. Steps 10 and 11 in the document. That would do it, Luke. I'm sure that you'll like clutch assist, but if they can't get the parts any longer, there's...

    F3S SM6 showing check engine light/message randomly - any thoughts/ideas??

    Hey Luke. The 2015 F3 SM6 was produced without the vacuum clutch assist that the RT SM6 machines had. Due to popular demand, BRP came up with a “kit” that could be installed as a retrofit. It made the clutch pull effort easier if the engine is running. Interesting, nobody at the time complained...

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    Thank you. It may not be for you. There have been a few software updates the last couple of years and this is new on the market. I thought someone might want to see if this one worked.

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    To be clear, I have NOT tested this on a Spyder. Just an FYI if there are any takers out there. https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/airfly-drive-black

    Any hints/help for Installing a Garmin XT3 Zumo on a Spyder?

    So, now that that's out of the way, the switched GPS power port exists on the right hand side - as you're sitting on it - of the bike. As was said, powered from the 5a fuse F6 in the Right Side fuse box - as you're sitting on it. The F7 slot is empty on purpose. To access the power lead, here's...

    Any hints/help for Installing a Garmin XT3 Zumo on a Spyder?

    No they're not. The 2026 machines are the same as the rest of the 2020+ machines. Pictures of a 2026:

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    As I said, it’s difficult to initially know a person’s experience level. Thank you for filling that in. Looks like you have things well under control. Good luck.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    There’s a couple of reasons why the evap system for the 1330 doesn’t cause any run-ability issues. The biggest one would be location. A canisterectomy on the 1330 is not necessary.

    Intermittent raw gas smell at start-up and goes away after a few minutes - Any thoughts on what to check next?

    So, to reset the table a bit - understandably you're sensitive to this after doing that maintenance. But, this could have been nothing more than the gas smell coming from a vehicle passing in the opposite direction. However, not knowing what you already know, my intention was to make sure you...
