I installed the ISCI handbrake last year. The handbrake allows the rider to apply extra pressure to the slave cylinders, which improves braking power noticeably (at least in my case -- I considered...

Guzzis are decent bikes. Unfortunately, Moto Guzzi of North America will not give you the level of support that BRP did in the event that something does go wrong. I had issues with the hydraulic...
I've participated in various bike-related sites since Internet service was available to me, VROC, Victory, W650, ZRX, Guzzi, KLR650, Buell, Ninja 650, sidecar, Silver Wing and I'm sure others that I...
My wife has more than 100,000 miles on 2-wheelers, sold her Ninja last year when she freaked out over my sidecar accident. She feels a lot safer on the Spyder, enjoys driving it, and I rather like...
If you think you'll be doing a lot of stop-and-go, get the auto clutch. Or if you have left hand or left foot issues, or are not used to shifting a bike, the clutchless setup is preferable. Also, if...
The brakes on my own '09 SE5 are somewhat underwhelming, as I have stated in other posts. Braking was improved after bleeding brake system, further improved by roughing up front pads, which were...
Since the RT is more than 200 lbs heavier than the RS, a larger engine would be in order. The Buell version of the Rotax vee twin proves that it can be stretched to 1125 cc's, and the added power...
I've had several issues with my OEM brakes not being up to snuff. The tech at the dealership bled my brakes and hooked up to computer's BUDDS program as per shop manual as I watched. When it came...

Grieving the loss of a great dog takes time. While there's no substitute for such a mutt (which you could swear had the soul of a very old human, don't get me started on reincarnation) I've found the...
A simple way of checking out post-reflash octane requirements would be to try a test tankful of premium gas. That would be considered anecdotal evidence.
My '09 SE5 (Hindle, Evoluzione air...
I've been disappointed with my 2009 SE5's brakes since day one. To call them mediocre is way overstating their stopping power, especially when l consider those mega-brake calipers and disks,...
The dealer's tech should be easily able to fabricate ground wires from material that they should have in stock, namely a few feet of light-gauge wire, four crimp-on wire ends, and a few wire ties....
Big concern here is parking SE5 semi-auto on incline and having some fool passerby step on parking brake pedal as he wonders, "What is this?"
The Hindle runs and sounds better if you remove the O2 sensor using Ken's Evoluzione kit. Remember to disconnect battery during installation and idle for 15 minutes before driving off.
When I remounted my Hindle muffler after installing BRP extended passenger pegs I noticed reduced vibes. Maybe muffler is loose.
I was running my '09 SE5 on 87 octane as per owners' manual. I...
Ah, yes, now I see how the brackets work. I got the French-language instructions and was working from pictures only. Only problem was finding a 17 mm or 11/16 socket for locknuts that would fit into...
The black support brackets are part of the BRP hard bag installation kit, not necessary if you are just gonna use the rear peg extenders. The extenders are well-made but the fasteners are all wrong...
I have the F1 and the KewlMetal mirror extenders. I found the windshield to be slightly misshapen at the widest point so I bent it a little with a heat gun I bought at WalMart, fit it neatly and...
Missing torx fasteners went to inside of front scooped-for-foglights panels and inside of right lower side panel.
Thanks for the sympathetic responses, went riding with friends today with spare screws in pocket and noting came off. Regrounding coil to radiator and frame seems to have a positive effect on engine...
Have three #30 torx screws left over after sweaty fly-annoyed session with Spyder in garage.
Goal was to install recommended coil ground wires, stripped off a bunch of body panels using handy...
Getting used to the handling is the biggest challenge of Spyder ownership, not so big a deal for those with ATV or sidecar experience. No matter what size you are, adjust front shocks to maximum...
$1400 is a bit spendy, but not so bad when you consider the quality of the components and the fact that it is completely prefabricated so you don't have to drill, weld or engineer anything. It's like...
Don't know if this issue has been posted before, but I've noticed that if I restart my '09 SE5 while it's still two or three bars hot after a half-hour stop-n-shop in 80-plus degree weather and don't...
My dealer said he is up to the task, and told me that many potential buyers had inquired about it.
I've noticed a lot of electronic woes have been experienced by Spyder owners who have added electronic devices, whether BRP or other aftermarket, to their bikes.
CANBus systems have been in use...
