I think we need to pitch in and buy Len a helmet cam for these events.
I noticed oil on the floor of the garage. I did notice a little coolant but not anywhere near as much as the oil. When I got under the bike there was oil all along the underside. I rode it a...
I really don't know the specifics of the parts but it sounds fairly involved. It sounds like a assembly of parts. I know there are some seals. If I heard correctly its the impeller that is...
Dealer called to confirm, my water pump failed. Parts are backordered until 11/14/2013.
We bought our first Spyder in 2009 and this RT in 2011 but its been a frustrating ride. My riding season...
I'm the same as you. 5'7" 30" inseam and I bought a CalSci medium clear windshield. Works great. I can see over it all the way down and through it when up. Took a lot of pressure off my arms and...
I mounted ours on 2011 RT (CalSci medium / clear) before we left for Spyderfest. Went on without any issue. Uninstalled old and intalled new in less than 15 minutes. As far as the rain issue I size...
My wife and I also did the Tiger tour. It was a neat place, and our second favorite passport stop after the distillery.
1350 total for us. 3 year spyderfest low due to the rain, but still had a great time.
Find yourself some thinner, tighter fitting gloves or glove liners. Go to farm and fleet or Menards type store and get a set of rubber gauntlet style glove used for handling chemicals. Mine are...
My wife and I just bought two of the new Bell Mag-9 Sena versions. We were going to get the Bell Mag-9's this year anyway and with the newly introduced Sena integration it was a no brainer. We have...
REI is where I bought our two camping chairs. This one folds up and fits into the compartments. We use them for backpacking and canoe trips. http://www.rei.com/product/829239/rei-flex-lite-chair
Had same thing on 2011 RT at 600mi. Blown shock was the culprit. I forget what exactly was making the noise but it was parts of the shock clanking together.
Add two more in. Gonna be hard to beat last years run but I have faith.
I would like to see some windshield vendors with installation. I agree with the earlier post of wider gear selection. BRP, Firstgear, maybe a couple of the bigger manufactures with their riding...
Thanks for posting. I saw one of these mounts at spyderfest and liked the setup. How is the vibration when riding. Are you able to clearly read your gps? I'm planning on ordering one but this...
For those of you that use an Iphone plugged into your RT trunk for audio this may interest you. I liked the idea of being able to use my satellite radio app or Pandora but then I wouldn't be able to...
For anyone with an IPhone and an unlimited data plan you can use pandora radio app which is similar to Sirius but free with the RT cable. It will allow you to cycle through songs with the controls. ...
Well this morning the spyder went into limp with the p1614 code again. Called the dealer back armed with some info I received from everyone and now I have a new throttle body on the way. Should...
Thanks for the quick replies. I had the software upgrade last fall when they replaced my rear shock. I wasn't sure what the next step was since it threw the code twice. I hasn't happened since the...
I've had the P1614 code come up the last two times I started my 2011 Spyder RT. Took it to the dealer today and the mechanic that I don't like dealing with said it was just a fluke and since it...
Odd my 02 censors went out on our RT around 750 miles earlier this year after we bought it. Took a couple weeks for them to figure it out then get it fixed.

We just bought a new RT at spyderfest and the first difference I noticed on the way home was the turn signal. Push to cancel and the left signal would come on. Push to cancel again and it would go...
My wife and I will be heading down from Northern Il on Wed. Look forward to our first Spyderfest.

I bought a 24m extended warranty from them. No extra fees and I was only 5 days from factory expiration. Quick easy had copies of all paperwork within minutes of hanging up the phone.

I just did this last night. Thanks for the write up. Took me 1 hour with removing the panels. My honda dealer only had them in a sealed 3 pack but they cost me $13. 10 times easier than I thought...
My wife and I both use rubber over boots we bought at Farm & Fleet. The nice thing about them is they roll up real small for packing. Never been to hot in them but around here when it rains it...
My wife and I are on our way back from the dragon. As of Monday it is open from the south about 11 miles. It is only open from 0800-2000. You can run it up and turn around at the last big overlook...
I wrapped mine last year and have not had any problems. Used 1" black exhaust tape. My wife and I both noticed the difference when riding. It cut down the heat substantially.

I have put them on front. Had nasty squeel with stock brakes. It is gone with the EBC pads. 500 miles so far no squeel.
