So as a general rule, whether car or bike, i tend to pay attention to traffic, and ideally leaving a decent gap between me and the vehicle in front of me, I will either coast and brake to a stop, or...
So I know most new vehicles have some squeaking with new brakes. Is there a standard time/miles used as far as how long to expect squeaking on new brakes for the 2012 Spyder RT?
One owner before me, got it last month at around 17,800 miles. It’s at just over 19k miles now.
Well hopefully, I only need the pads! lol
2012 RT - Squeaking at first on start up, then it stops. But today I could definitely feel a bit of grinding when pressing hard on the brake at all. So I wanna get new ones on there asap while we...
I appreciate that sentiment, thats actually pretty nice. I think I know 1-2 people with a trailer big enough to haul the Spyder if need be.
But we actually lucked out, a mechanic friend of ours...
I tried getting it dropped off at one of the places near here. But of the few places around that work on spyders, i think i called 4 that did, all were at least a few weeks out too look at, and none...

Ok…so i could run an extension cord from the house pretty easily. Do you have a recommendation on a good maintainer i could buy? Let’s say i try this. I disconnect the battery, then...
I’d like to get a general check/tune up anyway so getting it in i think is a good idea
And replacing the battery myself…while it appears doable…i don’t have a garage to work in, and as i’m not too...
Maintainer as in, a battery tender? unfortunately we do not have one of those.
Going to leave our friends house to come home today, battery completely dead. Tried our Halo bolt charger at a stop on the way there, got it to start up. Few hours later, wouldn’t even start the...
Ah ok. Sounds like what I did. When I re attached it, I hit the parking brake button a few times to let it run, and when turning the brake off, the wire was kind of bunching up as it reeled back. So...
I’m definitely more of a visual learner, so I’m not sure I picked up everything you were saying lol
I checked my front like in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84MO8NklnhE
The cable was off the tracks. I was able to get it back in place, but the bike is still giving me a brake...
I took a video of me pushing the button, you can hear it turning and making kind of a clunk sound. Is that an indication the cable is loose/off?
I would like to know this too.
I have the brake failure message after a little rain, and the parking brake won’t engage. as far as i can tell everything else seems to be fine. But will riding...
Why dont you use the kill switch
Where in MA are u located
If you were closer id consider this for sure
I talked to him on the phone on Saturday and had a plan to get together and see it, then the next day he mentioned someone that had previously showed interest had re contacted him and was ready to...
Your like 6th in line lol
Allegedly someone was up for it and backed out of the deal, then between speaking with him and trying to setup a day, that previous offer re entered for the deal, so I’m low key hoping that guy backs...
well feel free to uh…not answer the phone if she calls back lol
Do you happen to know what the average MPG was on this model? Not that I’m super concerned with that but always good to know
Heat issues? From watching the YouTube video it sounds like he did the upgrade to fix that issue?
Also with tbe 998 instead of the newer 1330’s. I imagine its not QUITE as powerful….but gets...
Ah yea. Just rechecked the video. It looks great. Could be perfect for our first one. Hopefully caddy can send me a message and see if we can work out a deal
I’m in delco, and will hopefully have one to ride sometime in the near future
If anyone makes it over the bridge I’m just outside of south Philly, and hopefully we have a spyder sometime this month
I could possibly be interested in this.
Is it a manual or semi auto trans?
