I would check various " For Sale " sources to get an idea of what other folks are asking ..... Like from a Sponsor here .....IMotorsports ..... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:

Prior to the NEW "Quatrac" model (which Tire rack doesn't have in that 14 inch size) the highest rated Spyder tire was the "Quatrac 5" model ..... they have been replaced by the Quatrac (no 5 on the...

Thanks for your assessment .... I suspected there was a likelihood of a Clutch issue, but I wanted it to be a battery issue. So getting the least expensive possibility out of the way first seemed...

OK, problem solved ..... you can get the Quatrac -5 tire .... or any other auto tire in that size (there's not many to choose from) or you can be the tester and get that Kumho ..... My tire...

Thanks for the info ..... If this was bought at a Dealer, then how did She get it home?? Mike :thumbup:

" 165/65 R14.9 "... I've never heard of that size tire ..... what year Spyder is it .... the more info we have the better to help you ....Mike :thumbup:

Tire rack does have a size 165/65-R14 ........

Well if she DIDN'T charge the battery - that may be the problem ..... How did She figure out " how to shift with a wrench " ?????? ..... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:

:agree: .... However I have little faith in what most dealers do maintenance -wise .... If you can get the wheels/tires off .... almost every Auto shop can spin balance the wheels/tires .... however...

Myron if you ever drive in Vermont that SOLID line = " No Passing " is not what the DMV traffic regs. say ..... In Vermont you can't Pass where it's POSTED No Passing , on approach to bridges, near...

Yes a few ( very few :roflblack: ) have owned both ..... most ditched the HD after finding a Spyder ..... :thumbup:

They aren't .... they are an independent shop :clap: :clap: ..... and do excellent work ..... last I heard they can even CANCEL your DESS ....... Mike :thumbup:

I have had good luck with JB weld .... ( the type that takes awhile to cure ) ..... It also helps a great deal if you add a thin piece of sheet metal or even thin aluminum to the back of the crack ...

Well, that's interesting .... I went out and checked my 2014 RT which has the 1330 engine .... and after getting a magnifying glass out, I could read that sticker and yep, it says minimum 91 Octane...

I appreciate your concern for my preferring 87 octane over premium :clap: ..... But my few special talents do not include being a Fuel engineer, nor am I a typist who uses more than TWO fingers...

So if you noticed you were re-filling your gas tank more often than you used to....to go the same distance that wouldn't concern you ???? .... well it's your bike and you are entitled to operate it...

:hun: .... I said I leave mine in NEUTRAL ..... I just do it in a LESS complicated way than you do it .....Mike :thumbup:

Well, I'm in the 87 octane camp. (14 1330 RT) However, I do keep track of my MPG's .... WHY!?! ... because if I notice they drop by 5 or more MPG's something isn't right .... It's similar to "my...

Is this a SEALED unit???? .. is it an LED type light ..... If so it was never meant to be dis-assembled and the lamp re-placed .... not un-common on the newer Spyders ....glad you got it done :clap:...

Just because a battery is NEW .... doesn't mean it was properly charged before you used it! ..... Mike. :thumbup:

No one with trailering knowledge is using a cover on their Spyders while trailering .... We have already figured out that no matter how tight you can get a cover .....IT WILL SCRATCH THE PAINT ... I...

Sounds good ....Mike :thumbup:

I always recommend leaving it in Neutral .... I don't do it this way .... The SE trans. allows you to move the Spyder around without being it neutral ....Mike :thumbup:

It's not the YEARS that matter ..... only if you have a model that has the " ACS " system ..... The Rt's that have the ACS are the ones that have the Auto Leveling system PUMP .... all the LTD's have...

:agree: .... I've actually used gas to remove , grease , tar etc. .....paint looked fine afterwards .....Mike :thumbup:

Heat from the radiator ??? ... the water wouldn't be much more than 212 F .... and I would think the bearings they chose could handle that .... But I agree motor failure because of bearing failure is...

Glad you got this fixed ..... many, many folks here will say it doesn't matter if you put it in neutral when you shut the engine off, However I'm not in that camp ..... I ALWAYS leave it in Neutral...

"pennies per gallon" .... in Vt. it's about 70 pennies more for 91.... 40 more for 89 .... As for improved performance/acceleration .....can you give me a % for that improvement or actual Dyno...

I commend you on your "sort of apology" it takes a big man to do this publicly ..... Put this in your memory log "Snowbelt Spyder is one of the smartest members we have" ..... JMHO ....Mike

What Spyder and year are we talking about?????? .................Mike :thumbup:
...

No pic - Sometimes I use all three, and sometimes just one under the rear wheel. .... ZERO issues with weight. ... Bought them over 14 years ago. ..... Mike :thumbup: .... Just looked on Harbor...
