Lost inside wheel cap cover

[bgame]

Did about a 800 mile trip this last weekend and while driving I noticed that I had lost a inside wheel cap cover part # 70540110. When I got home I notice the other one was missing... this is on the front 2 wheels... Anyone else found these missing? Dealer is going to replace....may put a little RV silicone on the new ones to hold them in place.

Some one else mentioned that theirs had come loose a while ago and so I had mine silicon-ed by the dealer before I could loose them

[Chupaca]

this is common. Probably many have lost them and don't know it. The silicon is they way to go...:thumbup:

This would seem like a Golden Opportunity, to order some GloRyders... :2thumbs:

GloRyders on the inside?

[Craniac]

Lost one of mine when a Jack Rabbit decided he wanted a closer look at the suspension. I was able to find the lost cover. Several of the ears on the back of the cover are now missing. I don't think it will stay on for very long. I plan on adding some silicon to the back to keep it in place. But I have to remember it needs to be reinstalled. Now what was I talking about?

GloRyders on the inside?
Any excuse... :thumbup: :D

I see a lot of missing inner axle covers. A LOT! Like almost every bike is shy one, or both! Horrible design. I need to fix that. Hmmmmm

[JKMSPYDER]

I had to replace two of mine and finally put silicone on all four covers. No problems since.

[KX5062]

One of mine didn't even last the ride home from the dealer when purchased new. So, I never even got the chance to silicon it on. :mad:

Dumb design and an even poorer build quality. :cus:

Anyone know if the billet cover for the RS fits the 2014RT? Now that would be a great upgrade....

Read this whole thread and had no idea what you folks were talking about till I went out to the garage and looked on the inside of the front wheels and "lo and behold" there was a
black cap, similar to those on the rear axles, and when I barely touched it, it fell off! Both caps have been reinstalled with RTV on the nubs.

Thanks Bgame for starting this thread. :D

Well, you all have aroused my curiosity, so I went out to the garage and looked for mine, nothing there, just nuts and cotter pins. I had no idea they were even there. They are gone now.

[jcthorne]

This sounds like a great opprotunity for one of our vendors to release a nice farkle we cannot live without......

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

So that's what that black cap was for that was in the glove box when my Spyder was delivered!:clap: I'll bet the guy I bought it from found it on the floor, had no idea what it was, and just stuck it into the glove box! Now, all I have to do is find it in my messy garage!!!! :roflblack::roflblack::gaah:

Ted, (ULflyer) called me this morning and said he was at the Winston-Salem BRP dealership and inquired about new caps. They didn't have any in stock and he asked if I wanted him to order a set for me. They are $5 and change plus tax. I said yes.
That's how Spyder Lovers look out for each other. Thanks Ted.

Anytime Bill. $10.65 for the caps, plus $10 handling charge!:roflblack:

I believe these caps are for 2013+ models only. I could not find them on the parts diagrams for earlier years.

I have looked and could not find them either. I first noticed them missing as I was leaving a dealership after some work. I turned around and went back. The dealer didn't know what I was talking about and none of the Spyders in his show room had them either. It just feels too exposed without a cap installed.

Me too. Just bought a used :ani29: and they were already gone.

[dadof4]

I just removed mine. They were loose and came off with very little effort. I'm surprised they were still there. I'll deal with it tomorrow after a trip to the hardware store to get some silicone sealer.

[bgame]

Got mine in and under warranty... Use black RV silicone... ain't coming off now...

I have got to say that when I started reading this, I didn't have a clue what evryone was talking about. The next day I washed my Spyder and did some checking. Now I know and they are still on board.:yes:

[JayBros]

After reading this thread late Saturday I checked my two caps and they both were too loose for my liking. I picked up some RTV silicone after yesterday's ride and put a very small dab on each of the three clips on each cap. Today I am satisfied that the caps aren't going anywhere without a concerted effort to remove them.

[Yazz]

Went to the garage and inspected the inner front hub coverings on my F3-S. (Upgraded version.) By smushing them, discovered they are the same plastic consistency as a Icee domed lid. Very easy to flick off.

Then went and looked at the inner front hub coverings of my '09 Phantom. (The for-runner to the RS-S.) It is billet aluminum, with an allen screw to hold it on.

Where did something go wrong...:dontknow:

Same here. I was told it was not really needed.

[Ex-Rocket]

I think it happens pretty regular. I looked at 2015 RTS and its missing the left one. Don't even know if it was there when I purchased it or not but it sure is gone now.:yikes:
