PMK, I have no idea what it feels like to NOT have the hitch on. It has been on since day one. What you say makes good sense regarding cornering forces. Due to the receiver I welded onto the hitch...

Ernest, Thank you for your detailed, 'scientific' and thoughtful response. Your original input was largely responsible for my direction. Thanks also for verifying my next approach of springs. Like...

tntnj,
I am not able to over-ride the Nanny by giving it more throttle. Believe me, I have tried many times. My nanny literally shuts it down. Scares the snot out of me. Mods are helping immensely.

New update to my older update! As planned, I put several thousand miles on our new machine, then installed a front suspension upgrade. We went with Baja Ron Preload Adjusters and did not upgrade the...

Cyclerambler, I have not made any more modifications yet. I want to ride a bit more on my 'new' machine and learn to 'feel' how the changes I made affect the handling. I can still induce the nanny...

Since my original post 'Cornering Nightmare' I have begun taking steps which many of you suggested. THANK YOU to all who contributed positive constructive ideas. As mentioned, step 1 was to install...

In addition to all the other excellent approaches, I added 1 more. Monitoring how much fuel I put in at each stage of electronic alert, paying particular attention to how close you are to BRP's...

I had not considered implementing both techniques! Can't wait to try that. Baja Ron spoke of 'anchoring' and I believe this is an underrated concept. I engage my core before any motion but especially...

THANK YOU PMK! That is the most in depth and logical explanation I have received so far. I have been reluctant to take it in to a dealer...again...due to what they told me the first time. Sounds like...

Thank you Joel, that sounds like exactly what I need to do. I did take it to one dealer and as I stated previously, they told me it was normal and nothing could be adjusted. I will be back in Las...

Thank you to all who responded, especially those who gave constructive, positive feedback regarding the nanny and NOT my riding style. I have taken the first step and replaced the sway bar with a...

I run a Gates belt on my MTB and I do not believe it is recommended by Gates to put grease or any other oil based product on their belts. In the mountain bike industry, we use silicone or Pedro's...

Mikey, That tree I made is only on when we take the bikes to trailheads (about 15% of the time). I do feel a slight difference from just 2-up but those bikes only weigh 21 lbs each (plus the weight...

I have a 2018 not a 2020 but I have found the recommended air pressures from BRP to be on the low side. My 'stated' pressure should be 45 lbs, I have been running 50. Recently bumped it up to around...

Along with tire air pressures, there is an air pre-load for the rear shock. It is located under the seat. My 2018 has a neat little 'digital air gauge' compartment right next to the schrader valve. ...

I don't know about availability in Canada but lots of folks here (Spyderlovers) seem to be pretty happy with the Vredestein Q5 or Quatrac. I do not have experience with them but based on my research...

Please forgive me if this has been addressed but I haven't seen any mention of the pre-load on the rear shock. Mine is a 2018 so the newer units may not have this but if you do the manual suggests...

Thanks RayBJ, I intend to put a swaybar on but I wanted to get to know the bike first. Plus my CFO has not given authorization for that upgrade yet. No offense but I am sooo glad I am not the lone...

Rednaxs60 Thank you very much for your input and for the links. I will look into purchasing the BUDS, it sounds very helpful. Also appreciate your ideas of upgrading suspension. I notice one front...

Thank you for your reply JayBros. Because the Spyder is a different vehicle I DID read the owners manual in its entirety before extensive riding. I re-read the pages you suggested to see if I missed...

Thanks EdMat, I did try to research this phenomenon on the forum before I posted this and discovered the Nanny but no one seems to have any where near this degree of Nanny intervention. The dealer...

trikermutha, thanks for your reply. While I HAVE been called crazy (on more than one occasion) I am definitely not driving like a 'crazy person' the bike won't let me get anywhere near that level of...

We have a 2018 Spyder RT which is the perfect vehicle for our needs....unless we are in a hurry. During casual driving it performs better than expected and there are so many things about it that we...
