    I rode my 2020 RTL up to Alaska last year. I had intentions of riding to the Arctic Circle but after a dusty and tiring ride over the Top of the World Highway, I decided to forgo the Arctic Circle. ...

    I rode up to Alaska last year. Great trip and a wonderful experience. I want to go back sometime. One thing about the Spyder. I got mine serviced and new tires installed (not Kendas) before I...

    Time and/or money will fix most things. Prevention goes a long way. Before my trip to Alaska I had the 9k service done even though I only had 6k on my 2020 RTL. I put on a new, rear non-oem tire....

    Looks like it was a great trip. My experience with my 2020 Spyder RTL is it handles packed gravel and dirt roads very well. Just slow down and stay alert. Deeper dirt on road construction the bike...

    Before I went on a long trip last year on my 2020 RTL I needed a new rear tire. I went down to LaMonsters for the tire and while I was there I went ahead and had the DESS disabled. I was going into...

    I also went from a 2013 RT-S to a 2020 RTL in 2020. You will notice a difference in the ride pulling out of the lot. Moving up 2 generations in development is a big change.

    First of all, there is nothing wrong with a 2013 RT. I rode one for seven years and never had an issue. That year model had several upgrades over the 2012. You will need to check to see if it had...

    Not in KC area but Lamonster Garage in Nixa, MO can disable it. I did not have any issues on my 2020 RTL but I had his shop disable it anyway.

    Sounds like a good "first trip". 250 miles a day over 4 days should be comfortable and give you some experience on how to approach longer rides.

    Thanks for sharing your trip. I agree that if you visit Yellowstone you need to see Old Faithful but it can be skipped on later visits due to the crowds.
