    Here, it is the Live Oak Trees. They are dropping the powered horrible yellow pollen, and the little yellow/green wormy looking things that I call "Tree Snot". I have to use the leaf blower every day...

    That is the same question that was on my mind. Why stress onself out trying to find a crap tire, when there are a number of readily available honest-to-gosh very good car tires out there for about...

    As my signature line shows, we have a 2017 RT-S, a leftover bought new in the crate in July 2018. It has been a stellar performer with minimal problems, parking brake motor replaced under warranty...

    Not condeming FB, as I have never been on it and have no basis on which to offer an opinion. It's just my preference to not have anything about me out there for all to see, or to tout any aspect of...
  6. Is Spyderpops still a Sponsor? If not, anyone know why?

    It would appear that Spyderpops is no longer a site sponsor. Granted, I just noticed that today, so I reckon it was sometime in the past. Anybody no why? Or would that be privileged information? Just...

    I have had one of those for years, and it is great to get into some really tight spaces. I wonder what a dealer uses to change the sensor.

    Hope you have better luck with the Bell than me and the missus did. After about one hour, we both had painful headaches, and would have to stop and take them off. We ended up getting Sena Outreach...

    Winter tires have a way softer compound than all season or touring/summer tires, so they wear faster. I have all season Vredestein tires and find them to be just fine wear wise.

    My advice would be to not get the pegs from slingmods. I have them and don't really like them. There is not very much adjustment, I can't get them far enough forward, so I get cramps in my hips. They...

    Toatally agree with old Timer. The best "farkle" I have ever bought. Have had mine for over a year, and it works well for me. The head has a clip on for the valve stem, and the air compressor hose...

    We'll be watching from the Texas Hill Country. Not staying overnight, as rooms in the area have been booked for 2 years. A (really nice) cabin in Fredricsburg that is normally $285/night is now...

    The sad fact is that manufacturers of Cars, Motorcycles, et. are allowed by the Feds to stop providing suppoert for their products after 10 years. In other words, that means no OEM parts have to be...

    Pretty sure that I got the watered gas at an HEB (huge grocery store chain here in Texas) gas station, as it's the last place I got gas. What is puzzling is that I still had just under a 1/2 a tank...

    Well, as it turned out, there was A LOT of water in the gas. Dealer flushed the fuel system, changed the fuel filter, and put in the same amount of gas (no water) that was in the tank when I dropped...

    Hey Doug, do you think it's OK to use a higher amp smart charger than 1 or 2 amps? Amazon has quite a few that are 5, 6, 10, etc. Thanks, Dwight
  20. Anyone else ever noticed how many really overweight guys ride Harleys?

    Has anyone else ever noticed how many really overweight guys ride Harleys? As opposed to Spyders, which in 10 years of riding a Spyder I have noticed only a really small number of the same. Inquiring...

    You are unfortunately right to be worried. Federal law dictates that motor vehicle manufacturers only have to provide parts support for 10 years after the MY of any vehicle, be it car or motorcycle....

    Hey Merlin, not on topic, be I am in Austin too. Maybe get together in the spring for a Hill Country ride? Always looking for a fellow Spyder rider.

    It is U0155. Sorry for the mixup. I've done no cluster work, and definitely no power washing. The cluster seems to be fine, no anomalies everything looks normal. The only glitch was the bike never...

    Interesting. I'll check with the dealer on Tuesday and try to find out if that applies to a 2017 RT. Just curious: Did you bike throw the same U0155 code? Or are they maybe different for a 2021?...

    Interesting. I'll have to check for that recall to see if it applies to a 2017 RT.
  27. Stranded! Spyder loses power, stops, & won't start. Any ideas?

    Out running errands today, beautiful day, Spyder purring right along. After my third stop, I was pulling out of the parking lot and the engine started to stumble and lose power. Then it seemed to...

    I put my TxTag transponder, which is a large rectangle, on a ram mount on the handlebars. Works fine, easily put on & taken off so sticky fingers can't abscond with it.

    EDIT: If your tag is in...

    Not for me. I like it quiet. More importantly, the wife would do mean things to if I put one of those on "our" Spyder.
