Hi Folks,
Own a 2017 RTL/SE6. About 15k on it. The other day out riding I noticed some issues shifting. Mostly 4 to 5 or 5 to 6th gear. Didn't seem to want to shift up. Had to push the button...

Hi Joel,
I have 2017 RT Limited. It has the Garmin Zumo590. I wouldn't have it any other way. Every few months I take it off, plug into my computer and down load (for free) the latest maps and...

Has anyone or does anyone have the "Can-Am" brand belt tensioner on their Spyder? If so..... How well does it work and how well does it hold up?
Thank's in advance.
Johnny

Semper,
Where did you get the highway peg/footrests? Running a classy white 2017 RTL. Have the Lamonster highway pegs, but those look real comfortable.

Hi Gom,
Running Premium (91 octane). Regular (87 oct) contains ethanal - at least in Canada it does. Try to avoid. Ethanal tends to draw water in from atmosphere.

I use three wide (about 5") scissor jacks. One under each front suspension - just inside the tires and one under the shock connection at the rear. I use some flat hard rubber about 1" thick on the...

Amsoil Metric Motorcycle oil 10W-40. Made for wet clutch bikes. 100% synthetic.

I have the same problem with my RTL. I have acutely found the cause....... in my case it's old age.

I have a 17 RTL. My speedo is off by 2-3 "KM"/hr. Doesn't effect anything. If you have a GPS that shows speed it will give the accurate reading. Running car tires at the same size as the OEM's. I'm...

I too have a 2017 RTL SE6 - I have whine at about 35-45 MPH. I agree that I also believe it to be straight cut gears. Stronger, but noisy. I also run Fed Fermoza (front), but the noise was there...

Hi folks,
Own a 2017 RTL.
A question to those who have the trip-axis bars. Being a short armed person - what range (front to back) does the trip-axis bar have? Would hope to get 1-2" rearward...

Hi Wifesspyder,
I'd recommend the Russell Day long seat. You send in your seat and they rebuild it with better foam, side bolsters(wings), etc. You send in your height, weight, picture of you and...

2017 RTL
Russel Daylong seat +Back rest, Baha Ron Sway bar, Federal Formosa tires(front), Toyo Proxes 4 (rear).

Hi Folks,

Question: Is the battery in the 1330's AGM? If not. Does anyone make an AGM battery the same size, capacity, etc for the RTL 1330?

Thank's in advance for any advice.

Johnny.

Ha! My wife usually wakes up when her helmet hits the back of mine.

Hello jarvis, and also thank you for your service. BlueKnight is right, The Kenda's are not very good tires at all. I had persistent balance issues with the front and the rear was worn out after...

HA!
They "all" pull that one. Even a lawn mower/snow blower dealer will make you wait, and wait, and wait, till they have serviced "all" their clients first. Only exception I know is for people...

I get a winning in 5th at about 40MPH all other gears fine. I wonder if 5th and 6th are a straight cut gear in the trany? Straight cut gears canbe known to whine. I'm assuming even the SE6 uses gears...

Hi Ibified,
Don't care. Just found it quite humorus. We are in a club that has "ALL" different kinds of bikes. Only rule, bike has to be big enough to keep up with the rest on major highways.

Hi MonPaul,
We have found through most of our travels on the RTL, it will draw a crowd at the gas station or restaurant. Most are friendly and are curious about the bike. In some places we have...

Hi Askitee,
I have found that when in "eco" mode it has a detuned feel to acceleration, not much but some, say 10% (guessing). But I notice that in "eco" mode I get much better fuel milage. I too...

Most know as has been posted here that a lot of "Harley" riders won't wave at a Spyder rider as they pass on the road. I had to laugh today as my wife and I were out with very good friends of ours -...

That's a Bobby Dazzler. Opps, sorry wrong tv show.

Hi Folks, Just had the Formosa AZ01's and the Toyo Proxes 4 put on, balanced and a laser alignment. What a difference. At speeds over 85KPH...

Hi trikemutha,
I have a subscription to sirius (built in radio - 2017 RtL). What I do is take it by the month and then phone sirius and put a suspension on it for 6mos. while I store my bike for the...

Not in that configuration. Maybe just maybe if they actually brought it out in a true Goldwing design. Saddlebags, trunk, etc. As of now it just looks like a high tec toy. Although that engine is a...

A dealer up here was the same.... must be an exact OEM size match. Ordered Toyo Proxes 4 for the rear and Fed. Formosa AZ01 fronts.

We found the stock seat on our RTL to not be supportive enough. We went with a Russell Day long and have been very happy with it (very supportive) And can be ordered as heated seats. They are made...

Going to be ordering Formoza's this week. Just as a question for those that have them on the front. What kind of mileage are you getting before being worn out?
Also have ordered a Toyo Proxes 4 for...

Hi Folks,
After many replies to my question on "front" tires I will be getting Continentals installed for the front. (Based on availability)
Now my question(s) are;
1) Best or most bought tire for...

Spoke to a BRP dealer near London, Ont., Canada last year. Going out of Spyder line entirely. Told me that BRP was "forcing" him to take X number of spiders in order to maintain dealership. Doesn't...
