I had a green air filter on my first Spyder. The only difference I noticed is that it made noticeably louder. I use paper ones now.

Spyder #610 only.
I thought DropTail was a trailer with a hydraulic lowering tail gate with the entire trailer foldable so that it could be stood up. Now I guess they are ten foot long. I am so confused.

I have made the trip from Kentucky to California on Hwy 50. In Nevada there is a stretch where the gas stations are 75 miles apart. If you miss one you will certainly be interested in the next one....
I have had enough of the cold. I went skiing this week and it was -5 degrees at Sierra at Tahoe. I have never been that cold in my life.
But I get out weekly for a ride by myself or with one of...
You might want to try some baseball glove conditiner on them. I am not sure if it will work on MC gloves but it works pretty good on my softball mitt. I have a fresh supply if you want to come by...
Overfull will lead to oil in the airbox and then leaks. The leaks can last a long time.
I run my RS on the low side. I also have a piece of air cleaner sponge in the bypass return to air box line.
I went through all of this with the Aptera. It was going to cost in the mid $20k and be a similar but cooler looking vehicle. I got my money back and they disappeared.
While I would hope they...
The gas mileage on the RS/GS sucks. I get 30 mpg riding one up for my driving style. It does not ever seem to vary very much.
You are getting MPG reports from out of the state of California. ...
Well we like to say that Manteca=Butter since we have a lot of dairies around here. Our motto is, "Come to Manteca and Smell Our Dairy Air."
We can ride sometime as I am out often. A wee bit...
I have ridden 55,000 miles on my Spyder and I would bet I have not seen a dozen of them out on the road. But there is hope. I have probably seen eight of those in 2012.
I am not a biker but my...
I have an '08 with the original drive belt. 13,000 miles no problem . I had another '08 with only one belt and 45,000 miles and no problem.
What do you mean by walking in and out? How can you...
Likewise. " A Christmas Story"
When the fuel light comes on you still have a good deal of gas left in the tank. Five gallons is about the most I have ever put in my tank. Except when I ran out of gas and then I put in over 6...
I have a back rest that I am willing to let go. Silver and rarely used.
I am installing a Givi top case on the sport rack. It is a project but once done it will give me that lockable long range...
Can you run a test and tell us what your bandwidth is on your hotspot? It all sounds like a terrific idea and I am ready to go that way. But I have to have a lot of uninterrupted bandwidth for...
I have been using Magic Jack for about 4 years. I don't know what it costs but it I signed up for a five year plan that cost practically nothing.
1) It's okay. It takes forever to load up. And...
Living out west it is never good to assume you are going to find gas when you need it. I use a $75 Garmin Nuvi GPS that tells how far and which direction the next gas is. I generally fill up every...
By the book; National Geographics America's Scenic Byways. There are about 270 great rides in there. I have done about half and intend to do the rest.
Thanks for the tips, DragonRider. I am going to get up there and do those next summer.
Mine:
1) Hwy 1 from San Diego to Port Angeles, Wa. or any part thereof. If you don't like this, you don't...
Baja Ron. Then you don't have to follow the countless threads on oil types. He does all of that for you.
That is a nice looking car. It looks like it is doing 60 sitting still.
I had two fail in about two months of ownership of the new to me 2008, so I just changed them all. And carry spares. I am often out alone, in areas where there is no cell phone coverage so I try to...
1) Make certain it has had the DPS recall done on it. If not, don't ride it until it has.
2) Next look for any electrical mods. If these are not done correctly you will probably have problems with...
What Nancystoy said. You might also want to check your brake fluid. The only time I have ever had a failure message it was because the brake fluid was about a teaspoon too low.
It lowers it about an inch. I had never noticed it before. It comes down to just about the same height as the exhaust manifold. I didn't measure it that closely. I am not going to go experiment...
And the engine should be hot Like after being ridden for a while. Just letting it idle somehow does not seem to be enough. There must be better ways of checking oil level in a sump system like this...
That seems like a lot of oil usage. I would give the engine a few more miles to wear in before getting worried about it. I had a newly rebuilt Rotax engine that burned a quart an hour. Now that is...
Take the traffic school and get the points off of your license. I can't speak for SC but here in California, points on your license will cost you thousands in additional insurance cost on everything...
