    Decelerometer can be annoying until you get it adjusted properly ...

    I have the GearBrake system. I put it on my 2015 RT-S soon after they became available. Probably the only thing I've ever been an 'early adopter' on, but I wanted something that would make the...
  2. Took a while, but squeak seems to be gone

    Somewhere around 7-8,000 miles the squeak seemed to go away. Bike is now over 12,000 and it hasn't come back. So fingers crossed that this is just something that takes its dear sweet time breaking...

    My two cents --- and extreme thanks!

    Highly recommend this product, especially with the WONDERFUL PHOTOS that make it stupid-simple to install! I am mechanically challenged and even I was able to install it in less than 10 minutes. ...

    sorry for delay

    Just came across this post. If you are installing the Gear Brake Smart Brake module (the decelerometer), you don't really have to remove anything!

    I just copied this from my other post, so if it...

    good idea

    :agree: Would love to see a picture!

    After reading the comments, I'm going to NOT go with a tinted windshield. I'm already wearing sunglasses, and lowering the sunshade in my helmet. So next...

    To Tint, or Not To Tint ...

    So I think I'm thinking of getting the F4 Stock height Tinted windshield in wide, and with a vent. But I've got a couple questions/concerns:

    I want tinted as I recently drove straight into an...

    Yes - make sure it's Rain-X for PLASTIC

    :agree::agree::agree::agree::agree:

    Regular Rain-X will ruin your helmet and bike in a hurry, but they make one specifically for the plastic windshields of motorcycles and boats (works on visors...

    Tiny change from 2015 and 2016

    I think this is just one tiny thing that changed in between the 2015 and 2016 models. My 2015 RT-S requires the 'boot-up' before I can start the engine, unless as was previously mentioned, it was a...

    Installation of Gear Brake

    Guess I should have explained the installation better ...

    Lift seat, it's on the left (as you sit on the bike) and for the RT at least, there's a wire coming out of it that connects to the seat. ...

    Gear Brake Decelerometer Discount

    Because our bikes slow down so quickly when you get off the throttle, I had been looking for a Decelerometer combined with the flashing for the brake lights. You know, something to keep me from...

    So glad I found this post ... installed in 3 minutes!

    I came across this post while looking to see exactly how I was supposed to install the Gear Brake I ordered. And once I saw the photos above showing where the wires were, I looked, and low and...

    Agree that 150 might be better

    IF - and only IF - you have done the BRP before, or have easy enough access to do it once or twice a year, would you want to do 200 or more miles a day. Even when the speed limit is 45, you can get...
  14. So I'll add the LED's to the Farkle list BUT

    If someone who has an idea what they're doing has an issue, then this will go on the dealer list. Not really an issue as it will be going in for the 10,000 mile checkup before the end of the year...
  15. Was just about to order ...

    In looking at your photos, the Kradelock doesn't cover the release button. But I though that was how it worked - by making it so the GPS can't be 'released'. Am I missing something? I want to be...

    Easy DIY

    I got these:

    And they truly are DIY! And I am very, VERY mechanically challenged.

    Everything I needed was included, and...

    So very sad

    :pray::pray::pray: for the family.

    When I saw the wreckage, my only thought was "How could speed NOT be a factor?!?" Report said that the van hit the Spyder [instead of Spyder hitting van], which...
  18. Di your Stebel come with the bracket? If so...

    Di your Stebel come with the bracket? If so where did you order it from? Don't want to have to make my own.
  19. Kradellock

    Already did the 3rd & 4th brakelights. That's what convinced me I was good to do "plug-n-play" by myself.

    I already have the 590 installed on the Tri-Axis bars ... how does the Kradellock work...
  20. Rhino Ramps

    I have Rhino ramps that we use for the cars & trucks, would that lift the front high enough to get under it? And while I won't drill, maybe - just maybe - I can convince my dear sweet hubby to do it.
  21. Based on replies ...

    So it looks like I will be able to install by myself:
    -Baker Air Wings
    -Wolo Bad Boy horn from SpyderPops (Since theirs is supposed to come with all the wiring and brackets I will need)

    I've...
  22. Best RT Farkles for the mechanically challenged

    So, I want to do more to my 2015 RT-S, but not leave it at the dealership during this awesome riding weather. I am, however, uncomfortable with some DIY aspects. Especially drilling or changing the...

    What are they called and where to find them?

    That sounds like a great idea, especially since every time I take something off I'm holding my breath, but where can I find them, and what am I looking for? I get the feeling that if I just walk...

    Just a followup

    In case someone finds this and wonders what happened, I bit the bullet and took her to a different dealer. Where they found that the CB, GPS, Cellphone cables were all wired wrong, with cables run...

    After reading the thread and the service bulletin, it looks like this is something I'd rather have them do. That was a long list of things to check for and I don't even know what some of the things...

    You all saved me a trip to the dealer!

    I love this forum. Today I received my LEDs from LaMonster and of course had to install immediately. Was so proud of doing it all by myself ... until the trunk wouldn't latch. :opps: Broke down...
  27. Now that I can check!

    Will normal car grease will work [the kind I can borrow out of hubby's tool chest]? Or do I need to find a special Spyder grease? :f_spider:
  28. Nope.

    Oh they absolutely know they messed up, and if any of them read the boards, they know exactly who I am. They knew they made mistakes (like the locking nuts not in place on the Tri Axis so they MOVED...
  29. That's why it's called Stop-n-Go traffic!

    :roflblack:

    Yeah, my commute is a whopping 10 miles but takes 25-30 minutes if I don't leave before 7am.
  30. Gonna have dealer check it out

    When I got the bike [from a dealer in NC who I will not name] they installed the Tri-Axis, CB, GPS and Cell interface, but did not run the wires correctly. The new dealership [the only one I use...
