Always happy to help a fellow Spyder rider out!! Be safe, and keep riding!
Nope, just lift the seat up, line up the bracket, with the holes(once you see it in place, you'll know), and put the 4 bolts in and tighten. Pop the D shaped cover off of the top side of the seat,...
Sent you a PM. Sorry about the delay in replying - too much to do at work!
Sorry, too much family get togethering yesterday!
Yes, I do have one if you still need it. Just let me know!!
If you are willing to wait until tomorrow, I will be happy to look on the oem seat I have in a box in my now frozen garage. I swapped the oem seat and backrest for a different seat. I'm happy with...
Maybe I missed the explanation in the earlier parts of this thread, but why aren't the 2014 RTs included?? Not that I want to be left out of the party, but what changed between the early 2014 models...
I bought the Spyder used from the dealer in 2016. It had 17K miles on it. Was told that the rear tire needed to be changed, and routine maintenance had to be performed before I could take it home. ...
After thanking those who chimed in on my post, telling me to take it to the dealer, I had decided to do just that. But something just wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it, I was second...
Thanks to all who chimed in. It wasn't going to take much arm twisting to get me to take it to the dealer. I had a small hope that maybe it wouldn't be as difficult as it looked. I'm all about...
Has anyone out replaced a water pump module on a 1330 engine?? Got my 2014 RTL out after its long winter sleep. Engine started right up, but within 5 minutes the temp gauge was at half way up. ...
Wife was in the driveway one afternoon as I was putting my 1985 Venture away coming home from work. She told me that after all the years we had been together, she really wanted to start going on...
Wife's always telling me I'm such a child. Turn 65 very soon. I don't know who to believe!!
2014 RTL I get the DESS error every once in awhile. I'll go a couple of months without one, then it'll pop up two or three days in a row. No rhyme or reason at all. Most of the time when it hits,...
Graduated in 1974. Started riding in 1973 on a Yamaha 175 Enduro. Been riding ever since. Have owned, in no particular order, 650 Yamaha, 920 Virago, my original 175 Enduro, another 650 Yamaha,...
So, JayBros, are you saying it is possible for me to use my OEM backrest on my new comfort seat IF I purchase the comfort seat upgrade kit PN 219400683, $79.99?? Could it be that easy??
Just bought a comfort seat for my 2014 RTL - ordered Saturday, and received today. Maybe your dealer is mis-informed??
Got it from the local dealer. Could have saved $10 and bought it online, but I've never had any problems with the dealer, so what the heck. $601.34 with tax, and I had to go pick it up. Ordered it...
Literally just finished installing my new BRP comfort seat on my 2014 RTL. Got the wife on the back, and she says she doesn't see a difference as far as the available room. I, on the other hand,...
What are some of the roads in your video? Highway 20? County roads? Looks like it might be a good day trip for the wife and I!!
Got 4 of the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on my Subaru. Really like them! I wonder how well one would work on the rear of my RTL??
After the cold weather from last week finally went away this weekend, today was warm enough to get out and ride for a bit! It was 53 degrees here today, all the snow has melted away, and after the...
Just changed mine today! When you loosen the Torx drain plug, just unscrew it a couple of turns to let oil out. It will drain for a bit, then stop. Unscrew the loosened plug a few more turns, and...
Wife says roughing it for her is a hotel without a pool!! ;)
I owned a 1985 Venture for 10+ years, and loved it. Wife decided she wanted to start riding with me. As you know, the Venture was a great motorcycle, but was top-heavy. I'm not getting any...
Riding to work yesterday, noticed the little yellow engine blinky blinky on my screen. Then I noticed the orange engine blinky blinky on the lower middle of the screen. !*#$@%$!!! Bike seemed to...
After trying for years to get my wife on the back of my 1985 Yamaha Venture (to no avail), she one day told me that she would like to go riding with me, but not on the Yamaha. She said that she...
My driveway is sloped just enough that when I drive the front wheels onto 8.5" high ramps, the Spyder is still pretty level. That's high enough for me to stick my head underneath to see what the...
Like a lot of people have said, the hardest part is removing the proper panels to get to what you want to do. It all starts with one or both of the mirrors. Now that I am a seasoned veteran of...
Took the big plunge today - changed the oil and the oil and transmission filters. I have been using this site to try to figure out how hard it was going to be, and I wasn't quite sure what to...
Isn't it amazing how a simple device such as the vibration dampener makes riding a real joy?? I couldn't believe how much smoother the ride was after installing one from Doc. Actually took me a...
