    The way I interpret the O.P. is “if you have a Spyder that’s under recall how many miles are on the suspect sprocket?”
    My wife and I each have a 2018 F3s. Hers has around 3,000 miles on it and mine...

    Vehicles cannot be sold if they are subject to an open recall. This is something we deal with in the automotive business all the time, nothing to do but wait it out. Although the numbers do seem...

    Guess no one has any ideas. I’ll report back after I’ve done the job and maybe my experience will help someone else.

    I have to agree with whodat. We wouldn’t be able to ride if we didn’t go down the dirt roads. My wife and I each have a 2018 F3s and we live down a mile of dirt and gravel. We take it slow and easy...

    Thanks for the replies folks. I’d love to try the Lamonster relocation kit but, again, not in stock. I’m going to try rotating the bars down just a bit to try to improve line of sight.
