Yes, same here. Spyder started running on one cylinder. Got the plugs and wires, problem fixed! High quality parts...

I'm using the original battery my 2012 RSS came with. I did keep it on the battery tender over the winter enduring sub-zero temperatures. It's three seasons old now, probably it's last. By the way,...
Thank you for the tip, sounds beautiful! BTW nice Spyder......☺
Okay, I'll be looking for you, only seen one other Spyder up here. Shouldn't be too hard to spot! :)
Thanks Mike, I'll have to get creative with the brushes without looking a little odd. :)
BTW thank you for the tip! Art
Sounds great! Possibly use heavy (mudflap) rubber also. Thanks for the suggestion. Art
Does the sport fender extend down in front of the tire? The mud gets all over the bottom of the seat, shock, etc. and is very visible. Plainly, it looks terrible! It's hard to wash off and it's back...
Thanks, I'll see if I can find a picture.
Just want to say hi! We just moved to the Lincoln area from Tampa. Looking forward to riding the beautiful Maine roads. I changed the plugs and wires a couple of weeks ago as it was running on one...
I have a 2012 RSS that I ride in an area that's always having road repair, etc.. I like the look of the exposed top of the rear tire but mud gets all over the rear of the bike. Any suggestions? It...
I had an offer on the ST blog for 3mm ID vacuum hose. He called it by a trade name that I can't find now but it's especially for Spyder applications.
The inability to countersteer didn't bother me as much as having no front brake lever. Last time I had that was fifty years ago when I removed the front brake on my Harley chopper because it was...
OK! I'm not sure how to send a pm on this site. Please email me at loonybinlodge@gmail.com Thank you, Art
Hi, fired up the bike yesterday, same problem, running on one cylinder on and off. Just moved from Florida to the great white north. Nearest dealer sixty miles away and no good way to get it there....
Hi, I just ordered the tinted Shorty from Calsci for my RSS. How did yours work out for you? I'm 5'8" and actually cut 2" off my stocker to reduce the blast in my face. It helped diffuse the airflow...
Way to go!! Have fun...........! (Neutron green rules!) :welcome:
The "wind in your face" seemed kind of focused on my RSS. I bought a full coverage helmet which solved the wind problem but it reduced side vision and gets too hot in the warm FL weather. So I cut 2...
PM sent.
Thanks for the tip Sarge. I'm in central FL and was going to get the foam blocking figuring it would help with cooling...........Art
Thanks, Scotty. I gave it a thorough cleaning while I had it apart to add a passenger backrest. It's been a week, nothing yet.........Art
Hey Sarge, when changing the oil Friday, I noticed a film of dirty oil all over the rear shock, frame area, etc.. When I got the bike a couple of weeks ago, it had dirty oil that was at least 1/2...
Thanks Drew....it sounds like I need to be getting used to its "personality"! BTW a Ducati owner (75 yrs old) I met wants to make the change! Art
It's been a week of riding the RSS. Everybody wants to know more about it. Lots of fun, getting used to the handling. Weight shifting (leaning) is far less than riding the sidecar outfit.
A couple...
I just got on this forum this month. I find it's one of the best. A lot of issues and different opinions are presented, but I'll bet most members would ride with anyone on here. Everyone has their...
Thanks Chuck! E-mail on the way...........Art
Me too! See my post above to FaranH.......Art
Hey Sarge, great website! You ordered the large, did you use their yardstick method?.............Art
Thanks Scotty! I used the e-air gauge supplied with the tool kit and set the front tires to 15.0 psi. My old mech gauge showed 17psi. Riding two up and taking a left at a light, I noticed the right...
Thanks FaranH! Yeah, the the last two bikes I had, Intruder 1400, V-Star 650, both came with windshields. I took them off right away as I like the "coolness" without them. I ordered a used RSS...
