Same feel on ours(2011)from day one, learned to live with it. My driving habits have evolved over time and the quick second pump really hardens the pedal. If I ever upgrade I’ll probably throw the...

I know that metallic sound well, been thru 2 on mine. One leaked, one did not.

Oil change, inspection and new rear tire all for $500...can't complain. Will mention that my nanny got sensitive on the way home from the dealer and flashed the orange screen of death at me and limp...

I have used 3 different dealerships with the ownership of out 2011. Purchased/serviced once at Richardson Motorsports...treated fairly. Serviced two times at NTY North Texas Yamaha in...

Figured I'd post an update since getting her back last Friday. It's literally taken this long because close to 500 miles happened. All is way more than OK!! What do they say...everything old is...

....but wait, I shouldn't! I already own a spyder. However, the excitement is building for Friday morning. Now a little back story...
We have owned our beloved spyder since '12 and have ridden...

Repair, service, reliability...to me are completely different categories for the said 42%. Does mine go to the shop? Yes, for the oil changes(service). Does it go there for tires and a laser...

Cleaned everything and tightened everything possible, no luck. Think the battery is shot! Not a lot of room under there to get that bugger out. Lost a little blood!

I did the jump under the seat, gave it enough juice to power the screen, but no crank. I have disassembled the left side and pulled the battery. I put it on the charger the real way now, we'll see....

Alright "experts"...I think I already know the answer to my dilemma, but figured I'd ask anyway. 2011 Rt on the original battery will not start. It's been hooked up to a tender thru the 12v plug...

Can't ride, wife took the spyder to work with her :( but the weather the next 2 days is gonna be awesome...sorry northeast!

The power is there, but what is really surprising is the amount of torque on demand. She definitely launches! As far as gearing, sprocket debates and the like, it was just an observation that I...

Ain't gonna lie...I think it needs another gear. And considering how I drove it during my demo, without a doubt, it will be less. Very fun though...

Been there, done that...twice! Last time I was out of warranty by 2 months and the boys at Louis Powersports took care of it and covered me! Nice to have a great dealer. I broke mine on a pothole....

Chances are, if you don't have fogs, then it's a base RT or an A&C model. Which means you need the rear audio as well. After 3 years of ownership, still haven't added the fogs to mine or the rear...

Finally back up and running! A huge shout out to Danny and Waco at Louis PowerSports. And here's the rest of the story...shock order and paid for by me over the phone. Receive a phone call that...

I call mine the CFO(chief financial officer) and she said wait till '15. Hopefully yours doesn't say that!

only problem, I'm 1400 miles away! These were my old stomping grounds, graduated from KU in '96. Love hearing the description and intersections mentioned, brings back some great memories. If you...

Interesting, as I believe you can take the air bag to 110psi...regardless, the bag isn't the problem, it's the darn shock!

Check your valve core, might be loose. Mine used to do the same until I tightened the core.

When 2 up, combined weight of about 435 lbs, 80-85 psi in the bag.

I think the above post sums up why I went stock again. One bad from initial assembly I'll give the benefit of the doubt to BRP, the 2nd blowing out because of roads....I guess it was just that. If...

How pricey?? I dropped $106 for another stock one. Really hope this one lasts longer.


3 is crazy, but like I said before, this is the first one I'm responsible for. Hopefully the dealer will...

Took the wife for a 50 mile ride on Friday, but without incident. On the way home, we had to navigate some construction and unfortunately, the temporary roads/crossovers are in terrible shape. As a...

I've used 3 different dealers, Richardson MotorSports was my purchasing dealer, North Texas Yamaha in Lewisville for some service and recently checked out Louis PowerSports in Greenville. My search...

I can sympathize, not about going, but with the other things. Last summer, I had the double whammy...replaced the HVAC and had a SLAP tear and rotator cuff repair. Talk about a bad summer!

I thought the same, even accused the wife when it first happened...she assured me she was no where near the brake. And when it happened to me, I was under throttle in a straight line.
As a rookie 2...

Varied...if I take it to work, it's the short trip(about 3miles), if the wife takes it(about 11 miles) and 20 mins of run time. Interestingly enough, it first surfaced after one of the wife's trips....

Have one, but don't really hook up this time of year, it's generally driven every day. Might have to go that route if it's getting weak.

Rode to work in the am, home for lunch, back to work, and home for the day and had no issues. Guess I just have to keep ryding to keep a full charge in her.
Pretty confident a new battery is in my...
