It is a learning process, and one of the things I learned is that the tightening process for me always results in the right-side adjustor cap being loose. I have found that for me, the best thing to...

If I remember correctly, the wheel wells extend into the bed thus making it unusable for a 5.5 ft load.

Darn Ron, I was looking forward to that opportunity.

The group I ride with is not brand specific. When I joined them in 1993 there were around 80 of us, most on Gold Wings and then me on a Venture Royale. I am still will that group but now there are...

Yes it should Pete and thanks for catching that. I have now fixed it.

I put 78,000+ miles plus on my 2012. In 2023 the belt decided to shed some teeth, about 6 in a row. I don't know if it was age or milage. I replaced it with a used belt also from a 2012 but with only...

I did not realize we were talking about a Spyder that old. No you are not eligible for the BEST warranty. That has to be purchased before the factory expires.

great video Trent. Thanks for sharing.

I use jacks or ramps. I tried lifting it by hand once but it was just too heavy.

I use a HF ATV lift left over from my Venture days and ramps for as jack stands. If I am doing tires I just use the...

First I have to disagree with the comment about the Spyder not being a motorcycle. It is not a 2 wheel motorcycle. It does everything a 2 wheel motorcycle does, except lean and fall over if you...

Part 2 of #16: After returning from Puerto Rico, a friend of mine helped me get a job at USS Geneva Steel in April of 1973, a fully integrated steel mill in Orem, Utah. I went to work as a laborer in...

Is your Spyder not eligible for the B.E.S.T warranty from BRP?

so Ron are you saying that 14-19 shocks are better than 2011 shocks?

Unfortunately, this is true. Back in the day when my antique was built (2012) you could excuse some of this as part of the learning curve, but we have long past that peak. I don't remember where now...

However, as Mike said earlier in post #2. It doesn't increase the WEIGHT you can carry only the volume. Good luck with your trip. What a great adventure.

I use my ATV/Motorcycle jack to lift it up, then put the ramps under it backwards so they don't interfere with me being underneath. For me, it is less hassle to jack it up & then place the ramps.

It is not visible to you on your own posts, but the rest of us see them.

I put a coat of Mothers on once a year and then Yamaha Spray Detailer to clean the bugs and dirt off and put a new shine on it.

February 1973. I had closed my motorcycle business the previous fall, as my major selling line had stopped production and I was out in the cold, so to speak. In the area where I lived at the time,...

I'm not worried, they won't be looking for me so I am safe

And the plastic is not all ABS. Some pieces are another plastic. The fenders are PA66 while the frunk lid is ABS. The type of plastic it is will be molded in to the piece on the backside somewhere.

Hi Dave, I hope you are doing better and are back home and recovering.
Thanks for the heads up on the phone.

Snoking gives good advice. Unless you have a tire giving you problems, let them run their course. The back tire is gone when the center is worn. You will still have plenty of tread on the edges, but...

You are not quite on the level. You're off plumb. Drill a little deeper to square it up

+1 on the MRA. Great app and easy to use

I see that this question was never answered. Does anybody know at what point the extended nozzle was incorporated on the assembly line? and yes I know it is a way old post, but it is relevant to a...

Thanks for sharing that story. That was great and not just about Speed.

My favorite is still the "Do Not Pet the Fluffy Cows" sign.

After years of toe only shifters my last Royal Star came with a heel/toe shifter. After I got used to it I really liked it. Now that I am on a SpyderRTL I really like the thumb shifter.
