I appreciate telling me which coolant you use Mike, but I'm not sure how that helps me with my ethylene and propylene mix situation. Thanks tho. :-)
When still under warranty doesn't the scheduled maintenance need to be done by an authorized dealer/shop to fulfill the warranty records requirement? Just askin'.
Well, no. Ethylene glycol is not the same as propylene glycol. I'm not talking about mixing the orange with the green, both propylene glycol. Engine Ice is an ethylene glycol product and is better at...
Check out Zurich. Most places accept it since they just pay with a credit card. A few, like my (what they describe themselves now as) "boutique" dealership do not. Stupid because they still get paid,...
There are a lot of adrenaline junkies out there. My experience is that each level gets old pretty quick, and more adrenaline is desired so more limits get pushed until the line finally gets crossed....
I use Engine Ice (propylene glycol) in my '15 RT LTD. While at the shop for other service I asked them to check the fluid levels. When I came to pick it up they told me the coolant was a half quart...
Better to have and not need than to need and not have. I GUARANTEE my Irish "Murphy's Law" says if I didn't have it I'd have a failure and pay out the yingus for a repair. Having an extended warranty...
I averaged about 36 MPG on my 2012 RT-S SE5 998 V-Twin (incl hwy), and now about the same on my 2015 RT LTD SE6 1330 3 in-line ACE. Never understood how anyone could get 46 MPG. Ever. Used to use 93...
Wow! Sorry to hear this. You are the exceptional exception. First time I've heard something like this in the 5 years I've owned Spyders and been a member here. Why don't you get them to take it back...
I was one of those who had no real bad vibration on my 2015 RT like I did on my 2012 and thought maybe they did something about it at BRP. Well, even if they did I have to agree with those who said...
Really none, if you mean forward and back horizontally. Only tilt, which doesn't help me much since where it enters the seat still pushes me too far forward. My position on the seat is too far...
It is 6 years+/- since you wrote this, and I just purchased my 3 year BEST warranty from Bert's for $750, and I've had my Spyder for 2 years.
BRP part #219800412.
There's an adapter available from Doc Humphries for the RT, and Doc (and others) now makes complete kits (aluminum, not plastic like BRPs) for F3s and RTs. I verified with BRP...
Dealer is incorrect. BRP now sells one for the F3 (BRP part # 219800412), and there's an aftermarket adapter available for the RT. The other brands, including Doc Humphries complete RT kit, etc, do...
Bought my then new 2012 RT-S SE5 for $27,000 here in NC. Traded it in (that's TRADED, not retail sale) 3 years later in 2015 for a value of $17,500 with nearly 15K miles on it.
I'm on my second Spyder. My first was a 2012 RT-S SE5 998cc V-Twin. I put 15K miles on it in 3 years. Rode it nearly coast to coast, to the North Rim of Grand Canyon, through 115 degree deserts,...
I believe the pertinent part is the word before what you highlighted. "Modifications". The tensioner is a mod. I just bought Doc Humphries complete kit and my dealer said it would void the drive...
So how come when my 590 was new I could put mp3's on it and play them via the Spyders speakers? After all, the 590 cradle has the connections for it. NOW, however, I can't get it to play.
Traded in my 2012 RT-S SE5 at the end of July for a 2015 RT LTD SE6 (1.9% financing), Pearl Red. What a difference between the V-Twin 998 and the 3 in-line 1330. Very different experience. I love the...
Sorry to see you go. I was/am looking forward to years yet of riding my Spyder. I'm 62 and just recently diagnosed with serious A-Fib and tachycardia (180 beats per minute). Leaving Saturday for a...
The RT's OEM backrest is NOT adjustable. A $22K F3's backrest is adjustable but a $30K RT Limited's is not?? I sit too far forward also with my crotch almost on the glove box. Someone suggested...
I overcame some of the seat issues with an Air Hawk cushion on my silver 2012 RT-S SE5. Worked great. First trip was a 5,000 mile roundtrip from NC to the North Rim of Grand Canyon at the end of June...
There are many of us "enabled" ryders out here who don't have a visible disability. Mine is from the navy and involves damaged internal organs for which I take mucho pills to keep 'em functioning....
My dealer just told me they expect style changes for 2016, and that's why the rebates and 1.9% financing that ended at the end of July to move out the dealership stocks in prep. They opined that it...
The 2016's were due to come out on 7/31 or 8/1.
My new 2015 RT Limited SE6 came with an "Ultra Comfort Seat". Can't find the difference anywhere between that and a "Comfort Seat" but supposedly there is one. Does anyone know what the difference...
Just traded in my 2012 RT-S SE5 for a 2015 Limited SE6. Had 11,200 miles on the tires and they looked brand new, front and back. I heard somewhere that 2014 tires didn't last and later in 2014 they...
Ok. The Garmin came as standard equip on my new Limited so I didn't have much of a choice. I just wanted to know if the stems, etc, were already installed on the new RT Limited SE6's so all I had to...
The new 590 replaced the older ZUMO 660 (the one you're probably referring to) in 2014, so it's not 6 year old tech. A touch of the power button will turn it off, so it doesn't have to be on all the...
