Ironically, it is a bit north of 100mph.

Besides the aero issues, these engines really drop power due to higher ambient temps, and humidity.
Yes, I know this from experience, based on making the...

As can be read, opinions here are wide and varied.

Like many, but not all, these 1330 setups utilize a shared oil system. The engine oil is also the oil for the wet clutch and gearbox. Because...

Grew up racing motocross, so a pinned throttle happens, when it happens.

Learned long ago Spyders are not race bikes, but are fine riding two up with the wife.

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting a failed spark plug insulator damaging the #2 cylinder. Seems a possibility, but thought the owner indicated the spark plug was intact, but dark...

For folks with fuel concerns on their oil samples, you might consider that if the Spyder has a remapped ignition, that could be a source.

Greater power output requires more fuel to make the power,...

Interesting the brakes fit that tightly.

If mechanically the work was done correctly, and the brake system in not restricting return fluid, the question then becomes what brand brake pads did you...

I certainly hope you find any easy inexpensive resolution.

My concern with the issue, is it seems focused on one cylinder. If the engine were pumping oil into the case vent it should affect all...

You think your issue with Apple Car Play is important, take a history lesson about Spyders. Research failed vacuum hoses, DESS failures, Kenda Tires, failed front pulleys, failed left side shift...

Not a NOCO, but installed a Shorai in our Spyder. Nearby friend, he installed the NOCO.

Wanted to add though, your battery failures may also be related to a failed alternator clutch. Last year I...

Just be certain to accomplish any and all checks if the instructions specify so. Even though there should be no compatibility concerns, voltage checks should be done, especially on older with the...

Just curious, based on the join dates of the accounts that were addressed, it appears the hacker did get in and started grabbing profiles of existing members.

Was the root cause determined and...

While no mention was made that the dealer had these loosened or removed, very possibly they were during damage repairs.

Consider though, even if torqued 100% correct during assembly, between...

Yes, before posting my previous replies, I considered the same.

This is the third different Spyder in the past few months, with a failed #2 cylinder issue. Granted three does not take down the...

Nearby you have Central Florida Powersports, Seminole Powersports, and Route 1 on the east coast.

As for The Villages, been there many times for cycling events. Sure has grown to be huge and now...

Lube it up and let it rip.

While a great idea, typically, we do the scope task after a leak down test. Simply, it can sometimes be very difficult to determine ring condition, unless the visible scoring is evident when...

This may help show the process of a leak down test.

My opinion, for the condition you are experiencing at this time, is to assume it could be any number of concerns.

Therefore, before tearing it apart, or adding magic juice products, accomplish a...

2014, Ride Now Ocala, Fl.
Worst time ever, buying a new motorcycle.

Too many other dealers to deal with a Ride Now dealership.

Sadly, a few photos indicated clutch basket failure where the basket fingers broke off. Pretty ugly, but repairable with enough time and money.

Hopefully this Spyder just needs the clutch plates...

Agreed, lubricating spherical bearings with a liner can be detrimental.
Ironically, some version of DU bearings or lined spherical bearings, if lubricated with a lithium based lube / grease, will...

In recent times, one of the other Spyder repair focused internet groups, has seen similar issues.
While it would be truly awesome if adding oil, or unsticking the clutch plates resolve it, those...

Was simply sharing information based from experience using the product as the manufacturer intended of Corrosion Protection and Control.
The aerospace industry, which Boeshield T9 was produced for...

Reread what I posted

I did agree with you by posting that link

A simple FWIW
Regarding
Boeshield T9, we use that for corrosion protection,

Regarding
BoeLube, that is a type of cutting wax for drilling/machining.

As weak as my point of view seems, you will probably find, that while what you is logical sense, the placards on a vehicle are deemed most current at the time of manufacture. Changes thereafter,...

Seems as though you are enjoying watching cruelty to animals with that reply.

Honestly, I have a few co workers over the years, sometimes engineers, sometimes just techs, they needed a good wack...

Wanted to add a couple things.
Agree, we are not often hearing about, or reading about engine failures based on fuel octane. Then again, it is not likely, that those running lower octane fuels,...

For me, my best understanding in regards to the most updated and current info, is the placard on the vehicle.
Granted, the manual and placard should be the same.
Unless a revision is done to...

Not the actual trailer that is for sale.
Rather a photo of our grocery getter, stopping for ice cream on the way home.

Posted to give a visual for others. Pearl white Spyder, dragging a pearl...
