Hi everyone! Been reading a lot here in the past few weeks as I've decided to purchase a new 2018 RT Limited. Beyond the Do's and Don't post, I gained a lot of info and preventive info and have already purchased a bumpskid, a set of Magic Mirrors, and the Kott Grilles. Any suggestions as I am picking up my RT on Friday? It seems like service at the dealership is iffy. Anything I should make sure I ask them or review before I leave the lot? Thanks in advance and looking forward to some great riding this summer.

:congrats:on your spyder purchase and :welcome:to the spyder web. The sales staff should go over the spyder with you. Unless it's changed from 2016 models, the first service is at 3k. You've all ready had a good start by reading the do's and don'ts. You haven't mentioned your riding experience. It takes experienced 2 wheel riders a little longer to get used to riding the spyder. Take sometime and get used to how the spyder handles. The more time you have in the "seat" the more you'll enjoy it. Enjoy!!! Dale

Thank you. I used to ride a sport bike when I wore a younger man's clothes. But that was several years ago and now I'm ready to get back out there. I took an RT for a demo ride and spent about an hour out and loved every minute. Didn't take me long to figure out what the salesman told me on how to ride it and shifting was wrong, not to lean and shifting way too low on the RPMs.
