I use to track the mileage on my 2015 RTS for the first 5k miles. I averaged 34 mpg. After that I gave up and just have fun riding it and put in fuel when it is needed.

Ride. Have fun till fuel...

I have 6800 miles on mine and still get that smell. It is the strongest after riding in the rain and parking it in the garage. No smoke means no worries to me. lol

Does anyone else find it easier to upshift using your index finger rather than your thumb on their RT? I have wide hands and my thumb has to rest on top of the grip so I just use my index finger to...

Glad to see I am not alone. I don't race and am always easy on the throttle. Run premium too. I guess she just wants to get the mileage that she gets.

And after you install one you can't help but yell "YEE-HAH!" due to the handling improvements. :thumbup:

Looks great. Any update on how it is holding up to the weather and being washed?

Check out Chemicalguys.com they have a nice line of products just for matte paint. I have a friend that uses it on his matte painted BMW. Works great.

They probably had it on a roller dyno with cruise set at 3500 rpm's.

I agree. It feels like the the cruise control makes twitchy throttle inputs anytime you are not on perfect level ground.

I ride with the cruise on at 65 mph. Speed limit here is 60. But of course I have hills to contend with. I am hoping the bike is still wearing itself in.

I have always used my trip meter along with the fuel gauge on every vehicle I have owned. Makes a great tool to also tell if you are using more than normal and indicate more problems.
I really...

I drove 17 miles with that light on with no choice (poor planning on my part) and it took 5.8 gallons to reach the filler neck.

I keep reading all about this 252 mile range on an RT model yet I have yet to see it on mine. I'm about to turn 4k on miles and have nothing but 30 miles of highway each way to work. I hve tried...

Doesn't this cap make it hard to top off the tank? You can't see the level anymore with this installed. :dontknow:

Got a 2015 RT-S with the same issue. On all my gauges. Waiting on the dealer to get the instrument cluster lens in for replacement. Nice to know I am not alone on this issue.

So there are Texas police departments that are using F3's as patrol bikes. The police version gets the advantage of turn key on and instant starting. Why can't we get that software mod on our...

I'm 250 and with the wife and all our stuff on board my front end is only about 2 1/2 inches off the ground. Surely would like to stiffen the front and reduce dive. Thanks for the great post.

Great photos and description. What part number did you use? And did it stiffen up your ride and Reduce nosediving?

I found that the 16.9 oz water bottles seem to fit perfect in that spot. No need to tie them down when you lay them down.

Use it on a victory motorcycle with matte (suede as they call it) paint. Works great!

I have one on my spyder. You don't really feel the air coming from the open vent unless you put your hand right up to it. But it does take care of the buffeting when it is open. I closed it just to...

Wonder if they have improved Li-ion batteries. I had one in my motorcycle and took it out. I ride all year long and problem with Li-ion was that it did not like sitting in the 20-40 degree weather....

:popcorn:

As far as the speedo, my analog matches the digital up to 50 mph. Then the digital suddenly becomes 3 mph fast after that. I compared the analog (which is always accurate) with my phone GPS and...

This guy is a spyder tech in Vancouver, WA. Has an interesting topic here on this video.

Just FYI.

No. I am talking about the bag. It does not mount to the lid. The mirror is in the bag and is actually thick plastic like a pocket mirror. Does not flex. Well unless you want to break it. If I can...

I ordered one of these for the wife. It came with the straps and shelf to install. Inside the top of the cover is a mirror for her to use. It is actually a very nice set up. But like the rest of...

Anyone have photos of them installed on their 2014 or newer spyder? I am curious to see how they mount.

I agree with you on the front shocks. And I am surely going to put a Bajaron sway bar on. Hopefully he is working on making shocks for 2014 and up models soon. Congrats on the new ride.

Even worse is that fish have sex in water! :roflblack::roflblack:
