I finally corrected the "BRAKE FAILURE" message that's been scrolling across the display on my '08 GS for months. There was never anything wrong with the brakes - the message just appeared for no...

I also have the Two Brother slip-on. Great pipe, easy install. I also run a K&N filter and no juice box and I don't have the popping prob some owners experience.
If you go with the 2 Bros pipe,...

Could you post those steps?
I'm having the same issue with my '08 GS...

Thanx!

That's great info! I'll try bleeding the brakes when i get my service manual.
Did the "Brake Failure" message go away by itself after you bled the brakes?

Well, here's an update on my troubleshooting efforts:




Brake switch is OK because brake lights work
Park brake switch is good because display indicates when park brake is set
fluid is...

Hi Gang,

I have a 2008 GS with 3400 miles and I got a "Brake Failure" message after work the other day. Brakes feel fine and I was able to ride home. Checked the brake fluid and it's right at the...

It's a full face model with internal tinted visor and pump-up cheek pads.
It's this helmet:

Lowered price to $80. Great helmet - any takers?

Hi Gang,

I have a '08 GS and have noticed lately that the engine stumbles a little when I accelerate hard around a right corner. I never noticed it before, but then I'm slamming corners harder...

Scorpion/BRP Helmet - brand new, size large, black.
This helmet is made by Scorpion for BRP. It's identical to a Scorpion EXO-1000, just without the Scorpion logo.
It's never been worm and includes...

Waking up an old thread...
I plan to install a power outlet in the trunk of my RS this weekend.
For the folks who have done this already, where exactly in the trunk did you mount the outlet?
I'm...

For parts like the vents, spray paint in a rattle can will work fine. I've never had much success spraying glossy colors on smooth surfaces - it always comes out looking splotchy compared to paint...

I bought my used RS in January of this year, and a few months later started noticing a strong gas smell when I parked it in the garge after a ride. At first, I thought the gas smell might be due to...

Here's a pic of where the fuel is leaking...
With the engine running, fuel will leak from this black connector. The connector doesn't fit tightly on the white male fitting - it's loose.
What is...

Started up my RS tonight since it's been sitting for about a month. After a few minutes, I began to smell gas and noticed fuel dripping from the right side. I pulled the plastics and found the leak...

Seems to me the insurance companies would benefit more if motorists died in crashes than if they were injured - simply because a funeral costs less than surgery, rehab and long term care.
So I where...

I had the same "new or used" dilemma when I bought my Spyder recently. I found that here in AZ, the dealers wouldn't budge much from MSRP. In other states - TX, OK, AK - the dealers offered pretty...

I've heard that Milk of Magnesia makes a good anti-seize in a pinch.
I haven't actually tried it but there's a lot of internet blog chatter that it works (so it MUST be true).
It always seems to be...

She'd still need you for taking out the trash...;)

I too was surprised at the KBB prices but I wouldn't put too much stock in them.
I just bought a used RS and I approached a few different dealers here in AZ and elsewhere and asked if they'd sell...

After about 2 years of thinking it's be cool to ride a Spyder, I finally brought one home this afternoon.
It's a 2008 GS SE5 in don't-run-me-over yellow with 775 miles. It's bone-stock excpet for a...

You're right and I should've qualified my statement (I hate it when I give bad info).
Insurance regs vary from state to state and there may be states that REQUIRE uninsured and under-insured...

Congrats on getting the new wheels!
I've just been researching motorcycle insurance too. The best rates I've found are from Progressive and Foremost - around $300/yr for 100/300.
And you may...

An old car guy once told me "a used car is worth what someone will pay for it today".
Same goes for Spyders, or anything else.
No matter how much you pay, SOMEONE will tell you it was too much. ...

What years were problematic and what were the common problems?
I'm in a similar situation trying to decide between a 2008 and 2010 RS.
Glad I saw this post before pulling the trigger...

HarborFreight has a 1500 lb cycle/ATV lift on sale for $100.

Good point!
I wouldn't do business with someone who blatantly lies.
I interpreted "$24K when new" as dealer exaggeration or maybe he just wasn't knowledgeable about Spyder pricing.
I suspect many...
