I think that possibly a lot of newer Spyder riders came straight from non-riding, and never had the 2-wheeled experience, so they don't know about "the wave."

Thank you! Skipping forward/back is all I typically want to do if/when I'm listening to music while traveling.
I don't know that I ever thought about it being a mistake to keep a bell. I can't think why it would be. I think the original intent remains, whatever bike the bell happens to be on.
I was usually...
I like HP and torque as much as the next person, but I've never felt the 998 is underpowered. So I guess I don't really care what size motor the thing has. I *would* however LOVE to see an AWD...
About a week after I got the new (to me) RT, I had a discussion on a Sunday afternoon with a local friend about needing a ride bell. All my prior rides have had them, and so as not to disturb the...
Congrats and ENJOY!!!
Another dumb music-related question: I've done searches here for "Android" and have yet to find anything that makes sense to me as far as whether or not you can operate an MP3 device other than a...
I got the Nelson-Rigg half cover I ordered, and I think it's going to be perfect for what I need it for.
Pros:
It folds up small enough to fit in one of the sidecase lid recesses (my RT came...
Mine came with a BRP full cover, and I am highly impressed with the quality. It is a bit much, however, for daily use. I contemplate that it will end up being used primarily for long-term winter...
Awesome!!! :2thumbs:
Not that I've had mine long enough for the heat issue to become overly daunting, but, oh, what a difference there is!
Immediately I noticed the torque band is much broader. Feels a lot quicker all...
I keep a can of Plexus and a microfiber cleaning cloth on board, mostly so that I can clean my windshield/faceshield if bug splats/dirt begin to reduce my visibility. However, it's a remarkably...
I'm about to have the recall work done on mine, and I've been wondering what the changes looked like. I like the way it looks -- probably better than the OEM look, to be honest.
Heh. Yeah, that was disconcerting me at first, but then I made a game out of it. Adds back in some of the minor amount of excitement I lost going from 2 wheels to 3. ;)
I had one of those for my RS, and it was great. Unfortunately, it's made for the RS, so it doesn't fit on the RT-S. Hence my longing for one of the Hopnel pouches that I posted.
Good luck to you...
I'm pretty seriously considering getting one of these:...
Holy crap! I'm paying less than 1/10th that much - $19/month!
And that's with a prior claim on my prior Spyder. A motorcycling friend took it for a test ride once, got hit by a stiff gust of wind,...
I was pleasantly surprised when I added my new-to-me RT-S to my existing (State Farm) policy. On my previous Spyder (an RSS), the rates were considerably higher than they are now. I wonder if...
^^ Um, yeah, that's why I posted in this subforum. ;)
Anyone out there? :)
S'posed to rain this afternoon, so instead of planning a long ride, I took the Pimpernel grocery shopping. Eight bags of stuff, and there was enough room left over for at least that many more....
I was very glad I had read about the preferred RPM operational range before I rode the RT. It really does perform more smoothly in the 4500-5500 RPM range, and always has plenty of reserve power if...
Gorgeous!!
I had been riding bikes for about 10 years when I got my first Spyder (an RS). It was indeed a bit of a learning curve, but after about 250-300 miles on the Spyder, I absolutely fell in love with it...
Aaaand, I just answered my own question. No, I will not be any more sedate. :D
I really appreciate the OP, particularly the part about not letting off the throttle to UPshift. I had always done...
Oh, heat issue recall not done yet. They have ordered the parts, so that should happen sometime this next week. Meanwhile, I got to go for a RYDE today. And possibly another one tomorrow, and another...

Right, when manually downshifting (even on the semi-automatic), you don't have to go to full off on the throttle. Never experienced a problem when downshifting manually, only when letting it...
Sounds like a sweet deal, but at this point I am sticking with buying locally, if for no other reason that I like supporting my local dealer. My loyalty to them at buying time translates to better...
Yikes, that would definitely be an attention-getter! So glad you're both okay, and very impressive that the Spydie was able to be ridden home. I agree 100% that if I must have a deer jump out in...
