I like your Eagle... wish I could find one to put on the back of my F-150.

Like the rest when I want alcohol I want it in a drink.

Have a great day folks and ride 'em safe! Ken krb1945

I have found a gas station in south Georgia that sells real gas... meaning there is no Alcohol in the gas.

We have been testing this non-alcohol gas in two of the spyders and the GL1800. I log...

Replacing them was the right thing to do. Using the GL1800 gaskets is also the correct way to go.

We have found that re-torquing the band clamps about once a month helps to increase the life span...

is probably picking up lubricants and tar at the intersections. We mainly ride the two lane black tops in GA and FL and this seems to happen a lot in the heat of the summer. Ken krb1945

It was great to saddle up and ride for a while. Weather was stunting with temperature at 80. :yes:

I've been behind the power curve for a while and I'm wondering if there any after market sources...

setting the torque pulling from the bottom when I get back to the south. I have disassembled all the rear and every thing is fit as a fiddle.

I am guessing the right side will torque the axle...

replace the belt at the same time?

The one that won't adjust also has a bad low speed whine. Ken krb1945

correct.

Every thing looks and feels tight as it should be. Rear wheel bearings are snug and no noise as they should be.

I am going to re-assemble it and try again. If it doesn't adjust this...

This belt has even wear across the teeth/or ribs... no cracks or angle wear. There is no noise or play in the rear bearings.

I guess I'll bite the bullet and pull the rear wheel and belt off the...

As some of you know I have three spyders... 2 2008 SM5's and 1 2009 SE5. I am also one of the riders that is having trouble getting one of the 08's belt to adjust properly . It is either against the...

6000 miles. I'll check that email attachment. Gary, I guess I haven't completely awakened from the good stuff they gave me at the hospital.:roflblack::ohyea: Ken krb1945

I hope everyone is remembering to re-torque that bolt every 6000 miles or 10,000 KM.

Like Scotty, I have metric, SAE and some early 1900s wrenches. Best of all, I have them all in triplicate. I'm still trying to figure that out... must be because they are shiny.

All bolts deemed to be critical to stability, safety, should be torqued. If the manufacturer did not include torque specifications then you should use the settings suggested at the beginning of the...

Old habits are slow to die... I have always trickled a new battery overnight before installing. So I used the Deltran battery tender on the two pc680s I received and the charge leveled out at 13.3...

I received two of the pc680's yesterday. Happy to say they arrive with a 100% charge, 12.84V in one and 12.85 in the other, as stated in their ad. Hope to get them installed in a few days. Please...

It would be a good idea to let the BRP super techs have a go at it. If they can't find the solution to the problem(s)... I bet they would be willing to replace it.

A few days ago I contacted a major fuel filter supplier concerning the Spyder fuel filter. This supplier did a search of many of the manufacturers and this is their reply...

Hi Ken,

At least you have some "free" tools to use to complete the job they were supposed to do. Sometimes mechanics are in too much of a hurry... that's why we find nice snap-on and craftsman tools along...

It looks like you are using the LedLight.com 48 Led bulbs on the rear... are you using the red leds or white leds? The reason I ask is in the photos they appear to be white.

I use these LEDs on...

You may have a loose connection on the battery. A loose connection will prevent the battery from getting a full charge. Ride 'em safely! Ken krb1945
