Both the friend I was with and myself purchased new rides after the Rusty Palmer debacle. NEITHER of us purchased from him. He obviously stays in business but he will not get any of my hard earned...

Thanks Kent - I heard something about the Mggie Valley event, did not realize they were one and the same!

Where and when? New to the Spyder, what goes on at such an event?

Rusty Palmer is off my list as he will not allow ANY test rides, at least as of 2 years ago, never bothered to go back. No experience with NAWH. While I have not bought a bike at TJ's, they have been...

Some things never change...:shocked:

Certainly you can change it cold. Is it ideal? No. Would I make a regular habit of it? No. Are you ever going to see any long term effects from doing it one time? No. Just make sure it is warmed up...

It is in the manual, have to turn the page after it refers to stopping the vehicle. There is a paragraph that starts out "All Models", and it is in there.

Seems like this may be something the...

I must have missed it in the manual but I did look it over. Will look again when I get a chance.

Nope, not seconds, minutes. Again dealer mechanic says it is normal, has to do with heat management according to him for warm starts.

Hi all - Been a member here for about a month and just brought my wife's 2012 RT home a couple of days ago. We rode it about 185 miles the first day and there is a definite learning curve!

I have used MMO oil in the gas of my small engines for longer than I care to remember. While I do not use it every tank on my BMW 1150 RT which has a cat, I do use it several times a year and have...

Glad to hear you found the problem. Thanks for sharing. That hose looks pretty bad for being less than 2 years old, perhaps defective?

What do they really do other than change oil and check a few nuts and bolts?

Several good suggestions here, could be any one of them. I have been a pretty fair backyard mechanic most of my life and was a field service engineer for over 10 years. One thing I learned, sometimes...

I like your thinkin!

Did you put stabilizer in the fuel? Last fall I had untreated hi-test 93 octane fuel go bad in my BMW 1150RT in less than 2 months. Machine would not start in my case at all, fresh fuel and she ran...

Good to read that as I have some concerns over the heat issue, hope it is the case!

I am new to Spyders and the forum. I rode both and felt much more comfortable with the manual, of course I have been riding motorcycles over 40 years and do not plan on getting rid of my regular...

Thank you! This site has provided many great ideas for upgrades and customizing. Looking forward to becoming part of the Spyder crowd!

I read something a few days two ago about a get together in New Holland PA, did not get the impression they were talking about a full blown Spyderfest deal. The Amish country has some interesting...

Hello and thanks to all Spyderlovers! Excellent site, have learned a lot here. This is my first post and since I am just purchasing a new Spyder I felt I would like to add my thoughts.
