Just wondering if any body has put a larger tire on the back than what is installed on the spyder. Hoping to lower rpms a little. I have the 30 tooth sprocket from mels and on saturday went for a 150 mile round trip and used 4 gallon of gas which comes out to 39 mpg. Would this mess up the computer and or speedometer.

Mismatch the front and rear tire sizes by too much and the nanny will protest.

My dealer told me about a customer with a Spyder that began throwing multiple error codes (seems like he said some 7 or 8) and going ino Limp Home mode. They checked everything and couldn't figure out what was wrong. They'd clear the codes and take it out again & within a few miles, were limping home again. They finally call BRP and was asked to check the rear tire. Sure enough, the customer had just put on a different size. It apparently throws everything out of whack with the computers.
