I do have the Magic Mirrors and agree they are a great option. Will check the security torx tomorrow to see what you are talking about. Maybe I was just being grouchy!! :lecturef_smilie:
Just changed the oil on my 2016 RTS for the first time since I bought it.
Several comments
1. Why do they use security torx for the body panels?
2. Why did they bury everything so deep under...
After reading some comments, I have to totally agree on using shims, not
bending a hollow tube bracket. Shims in place and quite a bit of clearance. Test drove today and all is well. Only have...
Tire rubbing problem solved after adding 3 washers on the rear fender brackets and two on the front ones. Put in longer bolts to make sure I still have enough bolts to keep the fender rigid. Will...
Replaced the tires with the same size tires that were on it and tire pressure is at 18. Will take the fender loose tomorrow and see if there is any wiggle room for adjusting, then shim as needed. I...
I just installed a set of Vredstein Quatrac 165-60r 15 tires and the tire is rubbing on the inside of the left fender. Looks like the right side has about 1/2 inch more clearance room on the tire...
Pictures would be good.
I thought so, but no offers yet!
Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I have an Amsoil membership, so buy my oil direct and use it on all of my vehicles.
I have about 9 quarts of Amsoil 10W40 Synthetic oil left from my previous Spyder. Specs on the 2016 RT call for 5W40. What are your thoughts on using the 10W40 for the next oil change on the 2016...

I currently have a Russell Day Long on my 2008 Spyder and really like it. Wish it would fit on the 2016 RT I just got. I know the seats are custom built so hoping to find one from someone with...
Looking for a Black Russell Day Long Seat for a 2016 Spyder RTS. Please send me a PM if you have one and interested in selling. Thanks
The mechanic said the rake failure code only occurred once and 'guessed' that it was caused by the worn pads on the rear. Can't remember if I told him I had topped off the brake fluid or not. Was...
Tried all of the different fixes suggested on this thread, but did not get the code cleared until the dealer hooked it up to his computer.
Midwest Sports cleared the one time brake failure code at no charge. Said it was likely due to the very worn rear brake pads. All has been good since. Thanks for all of the suggestions and input!!!
Tried the above reset procedure several times without any success. Will try the battery disconnect next to see if that will help.
Not quite happy yet. Still showing the 'brake failure' code, but figure I may just have a shop do a brake flush and clear the codes at the same time. Tried several different approaches to clearing...
Simplest solutions are the best!!! Forgot that over the years, I had to adjust the cam mechanism on the parking brake. When I rotated the cam back to the start position, the piston retracted...
Will look at flushing all. At this point, just wondering if I may just need to get a new caliper. Never seen one this tight. Acts like it bottoms out about 1/4 inch before the piston is close to...
Got a brake failure code on my 2008 GS SE5 with 27,000 miles on it. Fluid a little low which should clear the code, so decided to put new brake pads on while checking everything. Front pads show...

THANKS!!!!
It looks like the seats from all of the GS/RS series will interchange at least up until 2013 where I stopped researching. Would appreciate confirmation or info on the subject.
Thanks
I have a great Russel Day Long seat on my 2008 RS. Will it fit on a 2013 STS?
Thanks
