• 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.

    2010 RTS - unexplained quitting fixed & some Engine mods.

    Well, code P1614 is not about an air leak, but yes, cleaning your throttle body is the corrective action. You seem to have asked a couple of questions popping up all over the forum on this. They are all old threads. Yes, you have throttle by wire - meaning that it is all electrically controlled...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    Yeah, it's frustrating. But history has shown that every 998, unless it was a garage queen, transitions through the same series of issues that need corrected at some point. That's why EVERYBODY with any experience knew that your MAP sensor vacuum hoses would be cracked. They all did it. That's...

    My Running lights are staying on - 2020 Spyder RTL! Any ideas?

    By "Running Lights", I assume you are talking about the lights on the front of the front fenders, that also double as the turn signals. The Running Lights, License Plate light, and the red Tail Lights are all on the same circuit. Powered from F1R. They are controlled directly from the ignition...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    All fuel injected engines can become flooded. It just doesn’t happen that often. That’s why the ECM is programmed with an “engine clear mode”. BRP/BOSCH calls it “drowned engine mode”, or something like that. The 998 was especially sensitive to that for some reason. Probably why you heard it...

    Rear brake caliper piston will not fully retract any ideas? Or just rebuild &/or replace?

    Apologies if you have already done all of this. Most common reason for this is that the internal parking brake mechanism still needs to be retracted further. You say it compresses on the handle and the parking brake, but not sure what you meant by that. In 2010, depending on when your bike was...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    That's not only normal behavior for a 998, it's also healthy behavior. Cracked hoses like that are not just a vacuum leak, they also impact the sensor's input to the fuel injection program. And it's going to need some miles for the trims to re-adjust. It’s a 2010 and needs the throttle body...

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    Rarely, the resistor strip wears out, but it does happen. But try this first. Many people - many, many people, have eliminated those analog gauges. What you do is remove the screws that you see, holding the cluster display into the dash. Reach behind there and unplug BOTH - it has to be both -...

    Does a 1 piece Ultimate Seat effect the passenger air ride switch when riding 2-up? How do I stop it triggering for solo riding?

    That switch has nothing to do with the "air ride" system. Unfortunately, he's been misinformed on how that works. It’s a safety feature. As one who owns an Ultimate Seat, I've seen no indication that it inadvertently actuates the switch because it is one piece, And if it did, so what? There's a...

    EBD fault message on my 2015 F3s. What is it?

    The EBD function monitors all 3 wheel speed sensors. So, check them all. The brake fluid reservoir on a 2015 F3 is up front by your right knee, right? Your design of the brake fluid reservoir typically isn’t sensitive to being parked on an incline unless it is really, really, low. Next time this...

    What psi are you running in your Canyon's Rear Suspension Air Bag?

    Hey Sarah. Your second picture from the Tech Spec page of the manual, is a copy and paste by the tech writers from the RT manual. Historically, we've seen a lag between introduction of a new model and the manuals catching up to the current specs. Not to mention assorted math errors when...

    Front Turn Signal Out - any hints on installing the replacement?

    Hey Sandee. Yeah, there are usually no instructions for installing a plain replacement part. However, a good reference for this is the instruction for installing that chrome mirror cover that used to be an accessory. Below is a link. It shows you how to open up the mirror without breaking...

    Can I reboot the ECM on a 2010 RSS?

    No, because a Spyder ECM doesn't run on Windows. So seriously now, there are 4 variants of the P0600 code for the 2010 RS. - Communications fault detected by the ECM - Communication fault with the VCM - Communications fault with the Cluster - Security coding fault with the Cluster (ie wrong...

    Newbie needing advice on adjusting the drive belt alignment - anyone?

    Yes, clockwise is correct. The two responses above have it backwards. I usually do a combination of both sides just to keep the belt tension relatively the same. So, go again - maybe half a turn CW on the right, half a turn CCW on the left. If you have a zero blow hammer, or just a piece of...

    Check Suspension drop down message appears intermittently - any ideas/help?

    Mikey has given you excellent help. If I may add a couple of things…. Even though the air bag has a lot of pressure, it has a very small volume. Thus each time that you check air pressure, you’ll lose about 2 pounds. Plus, the pressure is sensitive to temperature changes. To get an accurate...

    Check Engine lamp and fault codes P061E & P0504, Brake signal not plausible, Brake lights on all the time, is this normal, or is something else wrong?

    Check Engine lamp and fault codes P061E & P0504, Brake signal not plausible, Brake lights on all the time, is this normal, or is something else wrong?

    This code is normal if you are dragging the brake pedal a bit. When the brake light switch comes on, the computer checks for an increase in brake fluid pressure. If there is none, then you get the codes. Just keep your foot clear of the pedal except when braking. It’s a thing almost every new...

    10.25” Display, when running Apple CarPlay, no way to see miles to empty or fuel remaining - bug report filed!

    Fuel level? Looks to be on the left hand side at the bottom, next to the fuel pump symbol. To the left of the coolant temp. And can't that miles be switched to Miles To Empty?

    Trailer hitch removal - can I just slide out the hitch thru-bolt without causing issues - 2022 RT Limited?

    Not missing anything. BRP did away with the cotter pin about that model year time frame. It was useless anyway. My axle is the same. One hole. Although why they even bother drilling one hole is baffling.

    Trailer hitch removal - can I just slide out the hitch thru-bolt without causing issues - 2022 RT Limited?

    No, you have that incorrect. The hitch bolt is NOT the axle. The main axle is hollow and is already there hidden by the hitch. The hitch bolt simply goes through the center of the axle. The axle pulls the hitch bolt, which in turn pulls the hitch. Remove the hitch bolt nut. Pull out the hitch...
