I have a 2015 RT LTD. I just upgraded the front shocks to Elka Stage 2. What a difference in cornering!
If you've ever taken a Spyder into a fast freeway interchange curve, eased off the bar a...

I found the information on beads and low-profile tires after I had figured out myself what appeared to be happening. DynaBeads has a specific statement regarding low-profile applications. Use...

Width ratio is too low, and you will end up with balance issues.

Speaking from experience!

Thanks for that link, and to you BlueKnight911. You are both correct. 7'' rim is supported by the tire.
I've called the dealer, but the tech is at lunch. I'm waiting to hear back.

I bought new Michelin T+H (205/60-15) for my RT. The dealer called and said they were afraid to mount it. They didn't think it would mount wide enough to seat securely.
I now either have to go back...

Sorry, but with the added weight of all of that tire pressure, my mileage went to hell fast. Just too heavy!

I'll stick with 4PSI, thank you.

I was addressing the OP's question. The road camber rolls the body to the outside. Stepping down on the outside causes the sway bar to counter the roll.

You push down with the foot on the outside of the turn. Everyone is forgetting that this machine has a sway (anti-roll) bar. In a left-hand turn, pushing down on the right peg causes the left...

That's going to respond to suspension movement independent of the passenger. How could that possibly work?

Not kidding. I hit a deer. As far as I know, there are no pygmy deer in Ohio, other than in the zoo. Two weeks before it happened, I had installed the Rivco chrome bumper for the RT. It must've hit...

I don't know. I would assume that BRP wants the part back so they could do forensic analysis to understand what is going on. I wish I could learn the result if they did.

There were no repairs required after hitting the deer. I had just installed the Rivco bumper on the bike. The bumper hit the deer, the deer went down, and I went over it. JohnnyK's looked for damage,...

I've been riding the Spyder since I bought it new off the dealer's floor -- ~16,000 miles. Before that 4 Yamahas and 2 GoldWings to the tune of ~250,000 miles.

I thought it was me shifting, until...

JohnnyK's Powersports couldn't reproduce the issue. I picked up the bike after the additional maintenance, including fixing the 1/4" misalignment in both front wheels after having hit the deer. On...

The other day, I nearly hit a low flying B1-RD!

That's exactly what I thought was going on at first. But I've ridden it long enough that I don't do that very often.
When I finally figured out what was happening, I rode a few miles upshifting with...

And on the way there, I tested and found that the issue is gone. I couldn't make it shift from the turn signal anymore.
They are going to see if they can pull any codes on this. Plus, I'm having the...

I agree. I have warranty left.

Damn! Only 15,000 miles.

I agree. But after I figured it out, I rode for miles upshifting with the turn signal. Just accelerate, and hit the cancel. Works great!

I have a 2015 RT Limited SE6.
Riding the other day, I accidently upshifted a couple of times. I figured I had bumped the shifter, and concentrated on moving my hand out a little bit.
On my way...

I'm the one who did the "unplanned Impact Test".
I hit a deer with my 2015RT LTD, at about 45MPH, just off the left of the bike's centerline.
The deer went down, and I drove over its rear end.
I...

It saved me a bunch of money!

No, I don't. I thought about going back but I wasn't armed, so I couldn't have finished it if I had to. I drove by on the way home that afternoon and saw no sign of it. Hopefully, it lived and...

The Rivco bumper took the force of the blow. It mounts with what looks like 3/16th inch steel. It actually bent the steel a little bit on the side of the nose that hit the deer. You can see that the...

I agree. I'm seriously thinking of keeping it parked in the mornings, now with rutting and hunting season approaching.

Thanks! I hate to think what would've happened had I been on two wheels. Based on how I hit it, it probably would've knocked me down at a minimum.
What's funny is, I am so attentive to deer. Put a...

After riding motorcycles for probably 200K miles, it has finally happened.

On my way to work, 5AM, 40 degrees out, I hit a deer.

The deer went down and under just left of center. I was on the...

1. I just added a Fobo set to my 2015 RT, including the t-valve on the rear. No interference at all. The Fobo can actually go on either valve stem of the T.
2. I would assume so. I actually had mine...

JohnnyK's Powersports (great dealership BTW!) fixed it. They consulted with BRP, and were instructed to switch the front brake rotors. The sound went away.

How bizarre!

Today, I actually took my helmet off, went to the end of my paved driveway and accelerated (precariously) toward my garage. I then hit the kill switch, and geared up for hitting the brake. I just let...
