Just a short thank you to the people at Lamonster Garage. I replaced the Gas Shock on my trunk this week. They shipped the correct part promptly along with instructions at a cost I can live with....
I had a leak last summer, cracked reservoir. I had the dealer replace it, as there's very little room in there for my stubby fingers.:2thumbs:

Sad to say, I put the Spyder to bed today in advance a long Wisconsin Winter. We still have some nice days for riding short term but you'd have to bundle up to make it enjoyable. My routine is rather...
I've found that if the picture is too large (pixels) then the program posts it sideways. You can reduce the size by changing a setting on your phone camera or use one of many programs on-line that...
All good suggestions above. I'd also add it works best if you insert the bottom of the battery first and then tip the top in to it's proper place. It's also recommended that you have a few choice...
Can you believe it's been 50 years? I had the same bike only a year later. The only thing that they changed was the color.
I don't believe the Owner's Manual can help troubleshoot. I currently have a Coolant Leak. The Manual tells me my model has .9 gallons of Coolant but it doesn't help me troubleshoot the problem or...

Mine are Orange to match the lower Trim on the nose.
That could be it, the battery is going on 5 years old. Everything else is fine, just that goofy clock.
A nod to Chicago for one of their best songs in my humble opinion. But here's the thing, the clock on my Spyder jumps from a 12 hour clock to 24 hours all by itself and then back again. Usually on...
Mine was changed out 2 weeks ago when I was in for an oil change. This one came off easy and there were no delays. I have noticed a different sound coming from the area of the sprocket. Nothing bad,...
Greetings from Wisconsin, the Badger State, the Dairy State, the State of Beer, Bratwurst and Cheese. And once in awhile we make the news for something other than High Taxes. The following clip shows...
After a long winter here in Wisconsin, Spring is finally here. Just came in from the garage after reinstalling the battery in the RT. I'm getting better at that, far fewer Cuss Words than in the...
1973 Yamaha RD350. The 350's were pretty common size engines back then, the 500's were just becoming "the thing". My classmate had the 500 Kawasaki, three cylinder with two pipes on the right and one...
We woke up to 17.5 inches from that storm. A new neighbor two houses down moved here from Tennessee and couldn't believe it.:yikes: Paying it forward, I went over with the snowblower to clear his...
2016 RTS. She was low on coolant, quite a bit actually. When turning left, it would affect the level of coolant and the gauge would peg. Lesson learned; Always look for the obvious.
Yup, happened to me this past summer, low on coolant. Funny thing was, it would only peg the gauge when I turned left so go figure. Topped it off and all is good!
Looks to me like a large Phillips head with a flat profile. I guessing here, but there is probably a fastener somewhere on the 2020 that this fits.
I'd have to oppose the idea. Ask yourself, is the risk worth the reward? With today's technology there should be a very slim chance of running out of gas. GPS, Google Maps, etc. you can pinpoint your...
Thought I'd offer a follow up for the Lost Key to Happiness. As aforementioned, I ordered/purchased a blank from BRP at the local dealer, was sent to a locksmith for cutting the blank, no hardware...
I'm currently in the process of replacing the ignition key for my Spyder. Fortunately I have a spare so I still have my mode of three wheel transportation. A couple of weeks ago I lost my key. I told...
10,500 on a 2016. No red dust.
This is posted in my Bio so here goes nothing.
My first cycle was a Bridgestone 90 Street Model. I rode this one before I was licensed to drive and yes, Dad paid the fine when I got caught....
33 miles per gallon the last I checked. This year I've been burning mid grade 89. No issues, vroom vroom!
If this has been posted already, my apologies. I received a letter from BRP today, 6-23-22 advising of a recall on Spyder RT and F3's from 2015 to 2019. The issue is abnormal wear of the front...

If it was full of gas at today's prices you'd need an armed guard riding shotgun!nojoke
The 900 in snowmobile application is not the same engine as the 900 Turbo. The Turbo engine has a different crank and pistons to handle the stress of the increased horsepower. So by strapping this...
