It may be the rubber mounts that attach the throttle body to the cylinder head could be cracked....one can go bad before the other, and that can lead to a Lean condition on one cyl.. if that's the...
Mine is a 2012 RT-s SM5... broke that dog bone about 5 years ago. Noboot to the rescue!
I wonder if this is something that can be accessed (and changed) by BUDS? I do know from working on 1990's VW equipment that their diag software had the capability to change default settings (like...
Took my local dealer (Blackman's in Emmaus PA) about 8 days to get mine in.
If you're handy, you may want to loosen (not remove) the two recessed bolts at the back of the seat where it hinges. It could be the seat is slightly out of alignment....loosen them and see if you...
Well folks, looks like I may be joining this club....2012 RT-S with a hair over 30k on the odo. It's developed this leak. Out of warranty, and I'm a backyard mechanic as best and this just may be...

I live in Emmaus, not too far over the hill from Palm. Blue 2012 RT-S
I have to second this...2012 RT-s I've had for the last 4 years (bought it used) has treated the Wife and I well.
Have to disagree...Took the wife and I about the same amount of time before we took the plunge. For me, the first thing was to test-drive during a "dealer day" locally...as I hadn't ever driven a...
Modern version of a Morgan 3-wheeler.
Ah, another member of the Vestibular Disorders Club! ;-)
I've been dealing with Meniere's Disease for the last 22 years, luckily isolated to left side only...after putting up with 10-hour bouts of...
Wow, that's just about the same $ as the Corbins I installed on my RTs
No you're not! :D I have to do the same, else the lift is about 1/2 inch too high.
This. Just happened to me 3 months ago. New battery and it's been fine since; 2012 RT-s with the original battery still in it (no longer!)
Looks like I need to make a trip to Blackman's Cycle this weekend and start name-dropping. Can't hurt to stop by Keystone H-D and Coopersburg Powersports as well.
I's on a mission now! :sour:

2012 RT-S, 22000 miles. Bought it used last year with just a hair over 16k on it.
Encountered my first-ever issue, looks like the OEM battery is on it's last legs....wanted to drive it to work...
Whatever the OEM braking system has, bought it used just last year. No farkles added it by previous owner...
Has anyone installed speed bleeders on their Spyders for ease of bleeding the brake system? If so, looking to see what size would be recommended for mine, a 2012 RT-s SM5.
Was looking at these: ...
Not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I believe you might want to steer clear of anything with SM rating.
According to both the owner's and maintenance manuals, SM is a no-no.

2012 RT-S, I bought it used just this April. I put just around 3k miles on it over this season, into my garage for the oil change...found the same rust pattern on my gas tank. Nothing noted on the...
Sounds like they twisted/damaged an O-ring during installation...
Hey, it's angled toward the upper-rear of the bike to promote downforce, isn't it?
Redneck VSS.
If you're looking for just replacement bulbs for the tiplights, I'd suggest these:

I can only say this:
THANK YOU NOBOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Part arrived yesterday morning; got home from work and got it installed (took me about 1.5 hours as I was being...
Same thing here, I get at least 3 days per week of Spyder riding.
Just had my windshield bracket break on the way home from dinner out with the wife this evening. Got home and immediately PM'd noboot.
Count me as another victim of lowest-bidder supply sources to...
Hi All! No doubt reviving a necro thread here.....
Bought a 2012 RT-S from Blackman's this past April, been riding it all over with the wife sitting backseat...more often than not I ride it to...
Agree with that sentiment. Morgan 3-wheelers are treated as automobiles, after all....and they've been around for AGES!
