if you decide you can use a manuel trans i have a 2008 sm5 with less than
6000 mi. with lots of options. a new dps unit and updates by the dealer.
i also have 2 1/2 yrs left on the best warranty....
new dps to be installed today. i did not receive a letter, i called the
dealer R&S in albuquerque, nm. i was the 1st one on the list even though
i did not buy the spyder from them.[they were not a...
the service rep at the dealer told me to keep nozzle in the tank about 3/4s of an inch so you don't over fill it, seems to be working, he said you can't top it off like a regular 2 wheeler.
this all goes by my personal expierence, you can tell when the engine is lugging, as long as the engine is 2700rpms or above i don't have any problems with it, i broke my engine in very easy, that...
if you are not hot rodding the engine you should be geting mpg in the mid 30s. yes this bike has a high redline but it also has a lot of torque. you can shift between gears at 2700rpm. if you use the...
as long as the engine rpm is at least 2700 you can switch to the next gear, i am in new mexico at 5000ft alt. and you can tell by listening to the
engine. thats why i get between 37 and 40 mpg. you...
THE MBRP IS A STRAIGHT PIPE WITH CERAMIC INSULATION. THEIR QUIET
DOES NOT QUIET THE PIPE AT ALL. I MADE MY OWN BAFFLE BY USING THE FLANGE FROM THEIR QUIET BAFFLE AND ORDERED A BAFFLE FROM
JP...
sorry i cannotmake the bbq. but wish you and magic man all the best.
and please any body that goes please chip in.
your darn right i look at mpg. i live rio rancho nm. at 5000ft. i drive moderately. whether its around toen or mixed driving, i am getting a constant 39mpg. lamont posted that he usually gets 32mpg...
the big thing i was hoping they would do is make the 5th gear an overdrive as far asi can tell they did not. if i was going to buy an rt
which i am not that would be a definite deal breaker for me....
i found a 36 mm socket at sears for only 9 bucks, it was a craftsman too.
i wasnot able to lift the rear of the bike so i just rolled it back and forth to set the
adjustment. my belt was running...
according to lamont the torque comes on quicker, once you get rolling the extra weight wont matter as much. plus as far as i can tell from the posts i've
read the gearing is the same as before, 5500...
i like the F1 MANTIS better, looks like more protection. the only thing i would
change is the color from a single color to a 2tone to break up the lines a
little. maybe make the middle V BLACK....
i know you tried to answer my question with a you tube video but i can't
pull it up on my computer. how can i get to the video on you tube. OR you just tell me the RPMS thanks.
thank you firefly you made my point. with the amount of torque and 9500rpm redline with forthought they could have easily made the 5th gear an overdrive and satisfied people like me also.
i am sorry if you took offense. there is another post on a trial of an RT.
and he said he thought that the the gear ratio was higher in 5th gear.
i have asked lamont to RPMS in 5th at 70 and 80...
i have a 2008 spyder with 3500miles on and my wife thought i was crazy
if i would give them 10k and my spyder for a base RT. after reading these posts she would have commited. thank goodness for the...
maybe i missed the post but i want to know the RPMS at 70 and 80 mph
in 5TH GEAR. keep us posted on the MPG . as it looks like the spyder RT is going to get less mpg than the GS.
i have an EVO II on my spyder from F1 and it works 10 times better than the memphis shades i have on my HONDA VTX. F1 has the MANTIS fairing
and if mine and a lot of others experience with F1,...
i have the f1 evo II. IT IS A GREAT WINDSHIELD. idid have a small problem with one mounting hole.
on honda VTX. i have a memphis shades, an even with the laminar lip, i still get the crap beat out...
just had my steering recall done today. after that i ran about 40 mi with
94 degrees outside temp. no problems. at a couple of stops i had 5 bars
on the heat guage, i reached down and the fan was...
lv is the way to go if you don't want carbin fiber. otherwise go with MBRP.
the exhaust is well made, but like the other exhaust co their quiet baffles
don't work as well as lv's. i did some...
that did you not like about the RP OIL. i have 4qts. and will be doing an oil change soon. i also have have amsoil too. please let me know. thanks
when i arrive home from a ride, i usually notice gas fumes from the spyder
the only mods i have done engine wise is to remove the inlet rubber tubes from the air box, installed an evoluzione air...
as far as i can tell no ONE has checked BIKELINE, i have my spyder and my vtx1300 insured with them (no medical) plus towing. for less
than $500.00 a year. i tried progressive 1st. and they wanted...
during the winter i attached the conections for my heated jacket liner and the adapter for my battery tender. at that time i noticed that the positiive connection to the battery was more corroded...
I HAVE THE F1, IT HAS REALLY PERFORMED WELL FOR ME. THEY ALSO MAKE A SLIDER WINSHEILD THAT IS GETTING VERY GOOD REVIEWS.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM ONLINE, OR RIDE DOWN THERE AND SEE THEM
IN PERSON....
CAN YOU ATTACH THE ANTI-SWAY WITHOUT REMOVING THE FRONT TRUNK.
YOU CAN SHIFT THE SPYDER FROM ABOUT 3200RPM. IT WILL PULL EASILY FROM 2700RPM. THE 5TH GEAR IS LOW SO IT WILL PULL FROM 36MPH WITH NO ENGINE LUGGING. I USE THIS RULE OF THUMB WHEN I AM NOT IN A HURRY...
I TRIED PROGRESIVE THEY WANTED $1100 I WENT TO BIKELINE WITH ADDED TOWING AND NO MEDICAL COVERAGE. MY PREMIUM IS $292 A YEAR. THEY ADVERTISE IN THE MOTORCYCLE MAGS. IAM GOING TO SWITCH MY VTX1300...
