I just had my first service on my 2022 RT Limited. I swear that the bike runs smoother after the service. Is there something that is done to the bike that I'm not aware of?

The engine runs smoother? It rides smoother? It handles smoother?
New oil.
its all in your head,, like washing your car-truck, feels new and rides better when its clean.. lol
It's most likely your brain's response after spending a lot of money on something frivolous, LOL.Quote:

Maybe didn't use BRP oil? :opps:Quote:

I know it isn't rational, but my Spyder, just like my cars, runs better after it is washed and has a full tank of gas. I clean the windscreen on the Spyder after every ride. I can't stand for there to be bugs or dirt or whatever on the screen and I'd swear that the bike runs less well when the screen is dirty. But then again, I feel 40 years younger when I go for a ride.
Flamewinger is correct. If you used BRP or similar 5W40 you will notice a "notch" at about 3K where that smoothness starts fading as the viscosity is lost, which in my opinion is primarily due to the gears in the transmission. The loss won't harm your engine (which is a tough piece of machinery) but when your mileage reaches 100K or so that loss will result in slower clutch engagement (ie, flaring) at operating temperatures. Enjoy the smoothness -- it's a great engine!
If the smoothness is the transmission shifting smoother then I would agree it 's the fresh oil. Recently did the second oil change on my RT and used Mobil 1 4T 10W40. The transmission certainly seems to shift smoother. Less then 1000mi so far, so we shall see. Always a fan of Mobil 1.
Doing my part to turn this into another oil thread.
