    It's healed!

    In typical Spyder fashion, I started it up this morning, took a ride and it shifted perfectly! We all know that sometimes "they" do that.

    Thanks for all the input! Really appreciate it.

    I just did an oil change for the year on my 2010 RT with the semi-automatic. Changed both the oil filter and the transmission filter, started it up and have no leaks. I let it warm up, put it in...

    Vee Rubber

    I put a Vee on my 2010 RT last year and now have about 4000 miles on it. YMMV since I got 13,000 out of my Kenda and I might just be the exception. I think one of the big keys is the air pressure. ...

    Plugs, etc...

    I have a 2010 RT-S with the v-twin that has a little over 17,000 miles on it. I've never replaced the plugs or the wires but I'm thinking it's about time to do so just out of caution. It still runs...
