    I wondered the same thing about my 2012 soon after I got it. After browsing many Spyder images I determined that the RPM display on the tach is not supposed to be illuminated but the speedo indicator...

    I have a 2012 RT A&C and I have to top it off at least once a week. It has been repaired for a leak but it still loses several lbs/week. Not really a big deal if you have a portable air pump. I can...

    I was concerned because my 2012 RT A&C is missing both front wheel caps and the axle nuts and bearings are exposed. That is until I looked at a parts diagram and discovered that there is no such part...

    I had the same problem with my new-to-me 2012 RT A/C until the oil level dropped to normal. Be sure to follow the oil level check procedure in the owner manual exactly to get a correct reading on the...

    I don't see any oil leaks and I can't see the shock without removing tupperware. The airbag has about 50psi. Only symptom is a loud metallic clank when the rear tire hits a bump at speed. Otherwise...
  7. Hit a lump of asphalt - could this clunk be a Broken shock???

    I am a relatively new Spyder RT owner. I have a 2012 RT A/C I purchased in January 2017 that has only 6600 miles now....

    I like "Wear What You Want". It's all about risks and tradeoffs. If you want to be comfortable and have fun, wear a t-shirt and tennis shoes. If you want total protection but no comfort, wear body...

    Deductibles should be determined according to how much risk you can assume yourself and a higher deductible can lower your premiums significantly. However, I would definitely recommend keeping the...

    WAIT ONE....

    BEFORE you ruin your airbag and fittings with Slime, you need to do some leak testing (with soapy water or something) to determine the exact source of the leak. I purchased a used low-miles 2012 RT...

    Yes on all counts. However, I can advise you look a the tires for even wear; the belt should be in excellent condition and not too loose; the handling should be comfortable and easy, but on first...

    Guys and girls,

    I've been actively monitoring my driving habits and I'm still not clear (not surprising!). I do sometimes feel a little too much "push" on either handlebar can cause a "twitch" in...

    Let us know what you think of the 2017. Not many of them on the roads yet. I just bought a "new-to-me" 2012 but I am secretly wishing I at least got the '16. Well in 2-3 years I may trade up for a...
