Thanks to all of you who offered your best wishes. Usually when someone says something like "Nice Scooter" I reply "it's really not a scooter...it's a motorcycle disguised as a scooter!" 650cc will...
I spent over an hour writing a long Post (probably my last) explaining the Title of this Post. My wife has been ill and with two of my daughters visiting (many distractions) it took me some time to...
I just "browsed" the entire site and it seem that there isn't a lot of interest in the site lately. In fact, I think I only saw one (1) Posting in 2013. I sometimes wonder if it's even worth while to...
Referring to your Post....
See, I knew I had heard this before. (Ref: Reading other Posts concerning Limp Mode)
I seem to recall reading somewhere in the past that if one just parks the Spyder, turns the key off, takes the key out and walks away for a few minutes (go get a cup of coffee or whatever) and come...
This morning, (Mar 19) while out on my bicycle, riding South on Cty Rd 17 between Lake Placid and Sebring, FL, I was passed by a Silver RT pulling a matching CanAm trailer. Wonder if that was another...
I was on my second Burgman650 (upgraded to the Exec Model for the ABS, etc,) when my wife stopped riding with me. We had a couple of "Drops" while not moving and that freaked her out, I guess. I...
I have tried both "Regular" & "High Test" gas in my Spyder and I truthfully see no difference in performance or mileage. The only place I have seen where I could buy No-Ethanol gas around here (Lake...
How about the name and address of that Dealer? The price sure sounds better then some have quoted.
Had a couple on a White RT stop beside my wife and I at a stop light as we were leaving Sebring (FL) after attending the Event. The light changed, so all we had the opportunity to do was exchange...
Anybody else coming? If so, what day? I'm sure if there's only 2 of us, we should see each other. The wife and I are going to be there at least on Friday.

I mistakenly called it the "Ride to The Heartland". "Run to The Heartland" is the correct title.
Google (or search) Run to the heartland, Sebring FL for a link with information.
Sorry I missed you. I'll bet you were at the get-together at Golden Corral, too? So many people there that the wife and I really didn't get the chance to make new friends or acquaintances.
I hope...
I probably am the only Spyder rider in Highlands County (at least as far as I know). I live just a few miles West of Lake Placid. Maybe a couple of you East Coast riders would like to come inland and...
This sounds like a good way to save some time and work during an oil change, but I can't help but ask an obvious question.
What is the original purpose for the flash pan? I guess I could ask BRP or...
Sounds like a good way to save some time. But my question is...what purpose is the splash pan supposed to be for?
There must have been a reason it was put there, even if it isn't necessary.
I have been trying to figure out where there are "safe" places to place a jack for raising the front end (and also the rear) and I still have not been satisfied with what I see. Following your...
I would like to "play around" with various settings after reading all this Posting of adjusting front shocks, but the "Book" says that should only be done with the front end "off the ground". My...
My wife has a Japanese Chin that she'd like to take with us, but we have yet to figure out how to mangage that. On our Burgman650, he could ride in a small carrier between the two of us, but there's...
As I am still new to the my RT I'll venture to ask a question that may have been answered long ago on Spyderlovers. I know you should adjust the front shocks with the wheels off the ground, but I am...
I don't have the answer yet. I sent an email to the website, but no answer, so far. I would think they can be installed in the original hole (position?) in the rim. As for the clearance problems,...
This is the same place where I ordered stems for my Burgman650. They do make a fine product! I just didn't look there this time, since the OEM rear stem on the Spyder doesn't look much like valve...
The worst thing I have discovered since I got a Spyder is::yikes: Dealers are making lots of money with the prices they charge for what should be just normal maintenance, And this is made even worse...
:helpsmilie: Has anyone here tried using the aluminum 90 degree (some are 84 degrees) valve stems as replacements for the Spyder's...especially the rear one! :banghead:
If so, can you share if there...
I am aware that the front end needs to be lifted off the ground while adjusting the front shocks, but I still haven't read where the jack should be placed. I look under my 2011 RT and don't really...
And you know this how??
Does this mean I have to go to Canada to find a great mechanic?? :yikes:
Anyone know one in Florida? Preferably not more then 100 miles from Lake Placid, FL.
After reading the Posts on this subject and even more on another on Spyderlovers, regarding the 600 mile "Break-in Inspection" I am wondering what seems to be wrong with the prices many Dealers are...
Hmmm...Maybe this would explain why the 2011 RT I bought (quoted to me as Brand New with "0" miles on it) turned out to have 123 miles on the odo when I arrived to buy it. Well, I thought the price...
