    You're lucky to get much over 110 mph. The windshield makes a BIG difference. I went from almost no windshield to a small one on my 2008 GS and lost over 10mph top speed. Extrapolate this to the barn...

    Any of the options offered will do you fine. You're probably wasting your money to change oil sooner than 3,000 miles. But if it makes you feel better, the cost may be worth it.

    I must admit. I don't think I could do it. If someone told me I couldn't run wide open. I don't think I'd own a motorcycle.

    Poll: How Much Do You Use Wide Open Throttle?

    Asking just out of curiosity. I like to observe how people ride. At our recent rally I watched the different ways people pulled out of the parking lot. We all have our own personal style. That's one...

    It is ironic that the very purpose and one great advantage of the CVT system is in its ability to maintain a consistent, unvarying engine RPM.

    In Tennessee, you can get a 'Motorcycle' (2 wheel) license qualifying on a Spyder.

    The OP states 'Under the Seat'. Sounds like CVT chatter to me and not a driveshaft issue. The driveshaft on the Ryker is pretty bullet proof. Not saying it couldn't be the driveshaft. But why would a...

    So, you're saying that you can't easily spin your wheels with the brakes disengaged? You need to re-do the install if this is the case. Not a good idea to wear down a set of pads by having them...

    You should run at least 2 increments (we do 3) or phases on the torque process. If you torque one lug nut to full spec with the other 2 loose, that can warp your rotor.

    That is unusual. Using the wrong torque procedure could warp the rotors. But this is fairly hard to do. Do you have a runout gauge to check your rotors with?

    Rode my friends Royal Enfield 350 in Kathmandu, Nepal. All 18 hp of it! A modern 1950's motorcycle. 350cc is a BIG motorcycle in Nepal where most are in the 150-185cc range. His was carbureted...

    Both of the issues referenced in this link were 998 V-Twins. Not sure this relates meaningfully to the 1330 motors.

    AWESOME! Looks like you nailed it. There are some other DIY mods that can make the 998 much less issue prone. As far as lighting (or any electronic add-ons), you'll find the Spyder to be very...

    We've only seen failure due to improper service installs (usually water pump related). Not to say that they don't fail naturally. Just not sure how concerned we should be about it?!

    It's his nature... Probably comes from years of trying to miss Roos!

    Some like to reinvent the wheel. But when you realize that the Krikit gauge is much more accurate than needed to start with. Adding accuracy with a high tech approach isn't worth the effort. The...

    Yes, 2014-2019 will fit and work very well. 2013 will also fit but they are terrible shocks. Don't bother with them.

    We received our order from BRP yesterday afternoon. So, the 1330 HCM filter appears to be available again. Now, if they could just find a way to reduce the price a little bit.

    I 2nd Peter's statements.

    Every Spyder ever made come from the factory with a belt tensioning system. Otherwise, you would not be able to properly tension the belt drive. However, very few come...

    You got that right. No one (that I know of) makes a replacement belt for the Spyder. Aftermarket lives on volume. Just not there with the Spyder. There isn't that many of us and Spyder belts last...

    Try eBay. You can do a search and save it and they will notify you whenever a listing meets your stated criteria.
  28. 1330cc: I wouldn't be worried. It's probably due to...

    I wouldn't be worried. It's probably due to operator error and not some inherent engine defect. The center cylinder is always going to feel the effects of abuse first.
  29. I'd say that's your problem right there. You...

    I'd say that's your problem right there. You don't say how many miles this Spyder has. But the spark plug wires are of very poor quality. If you disturb them at all your Spyder will usually run much...

    They know this. They just can't help telling stories. Pair your phone with your helmet radio and you won't have to look at 2 screens much at all. But I assume you already know this. Get past the...
