Sorry guys I know this thread is over 1 year old now but I was looking for advice about "extended" oil change intervals.
I have a 2012 RT (998cc) SE5 and I am going on 2 years now since the oil...
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...
Forgive me if this has been covered but there are 1000's of threads on here.
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 have seen mention of a BRP service advisory regarding acceptable pressure loss from the rear air suspension but dang if I can find it now. The pressure will naturally drop over time due to...
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...
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...
My understanding is (using the appropriate cable) the iPod interface is fully integrated into the audio system but not the MP3 player input. I have the 3.5mm adapter and it works fine for MP3 on the...
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...
So I'm a new Spyder RT owner with 1000 miles under my belt. I have not met the Nanny as yet and am trying to figure out how to be sure she is there when I need her. Does anyone have a method to test...
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...
Interesting. I'm never sure where i should set the front pre-load/rear pressure, other than by weight. Well since my rear air shock is a manual set and the front is a real pain-in-TA to change I just...
Funny, I keep telling myself the same thing Jerry. Lol.

Yes, I definitely would like to get the laser alignment done. My local dealer doesn't do them and the closest dealer that does is over 60 miles from home. But based on what I've heard I think it...
Thanks for the comments & suggestions so far my friends. My Spyder RT is pretty much stock except it came with a Utopia backrest (love it!), a RAM ball mount and USB power port on the switch panel...
Ok, I'm 62 and the new owner of a new-to-me 2012 Spyder RT SE5 A&C. I had ridden 2-wheelers most of my life but I have to admit I no longer trusted my reflexes and dexterity and thus took the plunge...
The "TRICYCLE". Lol, not too original but appropro.
I'm the proud owner of a new-to-me 2012 RT A&C and the front pads squeal while in reverse backing down my driveway. It's a little annoying but I think it's perfectly normal for disk brakes. So far no...
