I have a 2012 rs se5 we have not yet had it a year and have put 10500 great miles on it. So my questions is this.....how many miles can a spyder go? I do turn some higher rpm but I keep good oil in it and most of it is on the highway. Just wondering ......

There is a thread for how many miles on your spyder.

So far, 85 SL's have chimed in. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?52012-How-many-miles-on-your-current-Spyder

Some owners have gone well over 100,000 miles.

I would like to know what the elite few have done in maintenance/frequency in those 100,000 miles......ex. clutch replacements, belt swaps, suspension retune, bearing swaps, spark plug change, brake changes.


The spyder has only been out 6ish years, so there's not a ton of info out there on the "life" of the machine. Because only a few have hit the 6 figure mileage marks.

Doc lives in Clearwater, FL and his church is a the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. You figure it out!!!! Will say, his Spyder runs better than all others, 118 mph in the 1/4 mile. Wow!!!!
