They're quick-connect fittings, but I wouldn't say they just "snap" on. You push them firmly onto the tire valve from the base of the brass fitting. To take them off, you hold on to the base and pull...

This is a set of tubing, combined with quick-connect Schrader fittings and a high-accuracy, low-pressure air gauge, that allows you to simultaneously fill both front tires of a Spyder to exactly the...
I'm considering the purchase of an aftermarket extended warranty for my 2017 RT. Can't buy the B.E.S.T. warranty because the BRP factory warranty lapsed due to it starting earlier than my purchase...
Well, an update. GForce (the new dealer) heard back from BRP on the case. BRP's response is "too bad, so sad" - they say their database shows that RPM started the warranty in June 2017 when they put...
GForce seems to be trying hard to do right by me. And I can see why RPM is out of business now.
All paperwork clearly lists my Spyder as new.
Yes, it was titled to me and registered with the State of Colorado as a new bike, and the bill of sale lists it as a new bike. As you say, I might have a cause of action against the former...
I do not recall ever seeing such a document and I'm absolutely certain I didn't get a copy of it.
Well, I guess I've learned something new. Never bought a snowmobile or ATV in my life - never even ridden one - so I was expecting this to be treated like a normal motorcycle/car sale. And yes, I...
Wonderful. It seems I bought the Spyder about a month before RPM closed up and sold out, and my salesperson was one of the owners. So I may have been the target of a deliberate "exit scam" on the...
Well, it had dealer tags on it whenever I saw it. And if they had registered it with the state, I wouldn't think they could have then registered the sale to me selling the bike as new.
On June 21, 2018 I bought a 2017 RT-S from RPM Powersports in Lakewood, CO. This RT had been the dealership demo Spyder and had 301 miles on the odometer. I got a moderate discount on it as a demo...
Looked at modulars, but was unable to find one that fit properly (size 8 and 1/8 head, long and narrow). Have found that Arai works best for me.
Add me to the "have the whole set and like them" group. Keep in mind they are bargain bags, and soft luggage, and don't overpack or overstress them, and they will serve you well.
As others have...
A major UK paper has a short but glowing article about the Ryker. Oddly, it's not clear if the author actually rode one.
Apparently in the UK you can operate one on a car driver's license. I...
The zombie thread that won't go away. I've inadvertently created a monster. Before anyone else tries to bring this back from the dead:
- my questions were politely answered by some of the more...
Yep, sorry, started new thread to talk about that and neglected to post again in this one.
Went to one of those BRP-sponsored "Learn to Ride a Spyder" classes and spent some hours on a training...
Warlock, thanks for posting the pics.
I've wondered how well modular helmets would handle chin bar impacts (as opposed to regular full-face helmets). Based on your experience, the answer seems to...
Good for the OP for having (mostly) good gear on. Undoubtedly saved him from being hurt much worse.
And for the commenters who seem to be relying on divine providence instead of protective gear -...
Heh, just noticed this thread. Henderson CO (east side of Denver).
A couple of notes, from personal experience:
- Road rash is really unpleasant, tends to get infected, leaves ugly scars, and is well worth avoiding. I'm lucky mine was limited to my legs - I'm...
Yes. I've already had my lifetime quota of road rash, and I'm pretty sure I'd have died 30 years ago if I hadn't been wearing a helmet when a little old lady "didn't see" me at an intersection.

Hmm. Well, maybe I can make a trip to Las Vegas at some point, thanks.
Does Squared Away have any plans for visiting anyplace within a couple of hundred miles of Denver this year?
(Had hopes of catching you in Council Bluffs in a few weeks but doesn't look like I...
Thank you very much for that link - great info!
One of the dealers near Denver does laser alignments, but I think to the BRP specs, which doesn't sound like what I'd need. Might have to do a road...

I have a 2017 RT-S, and am trying to decide priority for some upgrades. I'm not a particularly "sporty" rider, and I would be happy enough with the stock suspension as far as handling in the curves...
A lot of good information in this thread, thank you all. I've followed Peter's advice to carefully check out the tires for defects, nothing obviously wrong that I am able to detect. I have set...
Thank you Peter, for a very informative reply. I have checked (and corrected) the pressures, but it didn't occur to me to carefully check out the tires in the way you describe (was making what I see...
In the process of putting the first few hundred miles on my 2017 RT. I've noticed an odd vibration that starts around 70 mph and smooths out at just over 80 mph. (Unfortunately, the maximum speed...
