Greetings!

Thanks again for all the solid advice. I do not have an adjustable shock, so extending the shock to the end point will be a good reference point.

Changed out the rear tire and am...

Is that measured with the rear wheel off the ground?

Thanks
Andy

THANKS for all the good discussion.
I am changing out my rear tire tomorrow on my 2013 ST. All the discussion has been for earlier models.
So...my in air belt tension should be between 202 and 236...

WHAT HE SAID! Same thing on ours. It goes away when warm. Dealer described it as cold oil circulating, or lack there of. Works well when warmed up.

Hey to all,

It is almost spring here in Illinois and am getting the Spyder out of winter storage and thinking again about rear super bright tail and turn signal set ups, with flash if possible. I...

We have 6,000 miles on ours and still chatters when it is cold, below 55 degrees or so. When the oil warms up, no more chatter. When it is cold the shifts are delayed as well. Same deal, when it...

I have worked in health care for two decades and done many rotations through the ER. How many stories I can tell of people, that if they would have worn a helmet, would still be here for their...

Just had my new side vents installed thanks to BRP - Yeah! I looked down them, and there are a lot of electrical wires hanging there, with connectors and so forth. I assume these will be ok when it...

Same thing here. The radio in my 2013 st-l works good, speakers are not so great. I use the Sena bluetooth helmet set up with my iPod. Love the set up. Wife rides with me, and she has the same....

Greetings and welcome, looks like you have a new Spyder! The 600 mile mark is the first oil change / look under the hood, check things out time. Your Spyder is NOT broken in! I have a 2013 ST-L and...

Great idea, why didn't I think of this!!! Or, I'm thinkin a zip tie, size of your choice, could do it as well. Thanks!

Same squeeky sound here. My dealer (very good, btw), cleaned the rear brake up and said it will happen until around 5000 miles. He was right! Try cleaning things up with a water hose, but everyone so...

Greetings and welcome! We started ryding the last of last year. We have joined SOAR, Spyder Owners and Ryders, http://www.joinsoar.com/home.htmlhere is the link.

It is in Johnson Creek, WI It is...

As others have said, take a back to back test drive. We have a 2013 ST Limited and love it. We had the dealer install the factory backrest and my wife loves it on back. I take the backrest and bags...

No worries - Just wonderin'. Thanks for the info. Any more out there chime in. Thanks!

To the 2014 Spyder Rendezvous in Johnson Creek, WI.

Welcome to the Spyder community! We bit the bullet and had the dealer install the factory back rest. It really is the best. Very secure, wraps around the ryder, its padded, and removable. It is made...

I sure don't. Where on the motor is the temp taken that reads out as "Bars" on the screen indicating relative engine heat?
What is your "normal" bar count?

There is a thermostat on the motor -...

I have used it for my first at home oil change, the first one since the dealers initial change. This will continue to be my oil of choice. I think I went with the 10-40, gotta check the bottle to...

Hummm, sounds good. I thought about unbolting the assembly, taking it apart, and greasing the handle bar and cleaning out the part that rests inside the command. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't...

Here is a new one - my throttle grip is squeaky - can I take the grip off and grease it?

I am looking at adding aftermarket super bright led lighting, initially to increase safety. First up, tail lights and updating rear turn signals to LED's and functioning as turn/stop/running lights....

Greetings fellow Spyder Ryders.
How can I tell if I have the latest software update on my Spyder? Can I verify this the same, or similar way we look at trouble codes, or is this a dealer only thing?...

Called a good dealer, Rob's Performance Motor Sports in Johnson Creek Wisconsin and the tech said that is kinda normal. The oil is cold and has a hard time circulating through the clutch system,...

THANKS!:shocked: Really love the response! And, yep. it is listed as holding 6.6 gallons.
It is good to read so many responses and get a general idea of what is going on.

As for this formula -...

The title says it all. How much gas, TOTAL, does a Spyder hold? Specs say "6.1 Gallon, with a 1 Gallon reserve".

How much do you put in with the tank empty?

i usually fill up with the "get out...

I changed oil and over filled by about 1/2 by 3/4 inch. Checked after a ride. Should I drain (Syphon) out or leave alone? I tried so hard to get it right...

As usual, thanks!

Thanks everyone for your help. Did my first oil change last night. Dealer did first one. The trans oil filter was 1.88 inches long, so dealer must have done longer se5 conversion at first change. The...

Just thought I would post a POSITIVE post! Have had some really nice rides this season. Still a bit cool in Northern Illinois, and it feels good to be out on the Spyder with my honey. ;)

We are...

Thanks Roger, however, I am the last remaining human on earth without a smartphone!
