    Thanks, Dennis. I must have picked up a couple of the wrong size washers off the floor and being such a simple fix makes me feel a bit stupid but sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes. Went on...

    We had a shed day here yesterday, where we gather to tell lies and do work on the Spyders of those who aren't experienced in these machines. Anyway, one of our members, Adrian (you may have seen some...

    I have used Grip Puppies (foam) for many years and they have never broken down. Some sellers just use a bit of refrigeration insulation which will not stand up to constant use but Grip Puppies use...

    Thanks, Dennis and everyone else for your input. I think I have now tried everything that I reasonably can. I guess, for now, I'll just leave it slightly loose and check it each time before I ride as...

    Yes, I did exactly what you did, had to cut the bolt on the RHS and bought another one. I think that Rivco don't realise that the 2014s are different from earlier models. When you say that you...

    Don't forget to use thread locker - mine wanted to unscrew until I realised that Loctite (blue) was my friend.

    My owner's book states that BRP's or any other blended oil is a minimum and goes on to say that you can use any synthetic oil with the standards stated. For me that means use fully synthetic.

    Pre 2014 models were/are much easier to install than the 2014s. About 1/2 an hour vs about one and a half hours.

    Does the 1330 engine have a knock detector to adjust the timing if the fuel is pre igniting? If not, be careful because knocking from too low octane can be fatal for your engine. If it does have this...

    I had far too many issues with my 2011 RT, so I traded it on my 2014 RT. It's probably tempting fate to say this but I'm really liking the 2014.

    OK, thanks again to all for the input. I now know what happened, I slightly overtightened the bolt that holds the floorboard on the LHS; it goes through the gear change lever and wasn't letting the...

    No, this didn't occur before the floorboards were fitted but neither did it occur after they were fitted - until about 300km into the first long ride. The only ride before that was a short one back...

    No, I don't think I'm shifting down too quickly, it just gets down to a certain gear and refuses to go down any further and it could be any gear where the refusal happens. I sometimes get an "E" when...
