    It's a motorcycle. I started riding in the 70's with a speedo and a tach. I like a speedo and a tach. I don't need or want all this tech and, frankly, it is just more stuff to go wrong. I have a...

    Shawn Smoak just did a pulley that took him two days. He finally was able to get it off with a 10-ton hydraulic puller and an air hammer. He said that the "guys at BRP" used a Harbor Freight...

    I used a CTEK maintainer on my Valkyrie and changed the battery out at 10 years old. The battery tested good, but I changed it anyway since it was 10 years old. I just had my garden tractor's...

    The dealer network is horrible. It is tough to find a good Spyder mechanic, and if you do, the shop is usually booked weeks out. For most dealers, it appears that Spyders are a side line and the...

    FYI--I was having some bizarre shifting issues and it turned out to be the left hand control where the shifter paddles reside. Mine was covered under the BEST warranty but the dealer told me the...

    I had the same issue with the LaMonster damper. Also, after one season, I found the bearings were pretty dry. I put Doc's damper back on and was able to adjust it to the belt. I am more happy with...

    Going to revive this old thread. I have to eat a little crow here. In my previous post, I mentioned that I was planning on waiting until 45k to change out my plugs. Well, today I changed them out...

    I have always been a fan of factory extended warranties rather than aftermarket. However, I purchased the BEST warranty and had a couple of repair items declined by BRP because they were "cosmetic."...

    Have you tried pumping the brake pedal? The brakes needed to be pumped so that the rear brake caliper piston extends out to seat against the new brake pads. I am not talking about bleeding the...

    After seeing several posts about the one-way valve connected to the compressor that fails, I decided to replace mine today. With 36K, I thought I was probably due. My valve was not noticeably...

    I don't think Harley anticipated how many sales they would lose to Indian. The joke in my area is, if you want to shop for a used Harley, head over to the Indian dealer. My brother-in-law, a total...

    The only thing that is going to make me even think about trading my 2015 RT LTD is shaft drive. Unless BRP comes out with shaft drive, I am going to keep this a very long time.

    I have had the parking brake motor and parking brake switch both replaced under warranty, separate events. The parking brake lock up is a common problem that plagues the RT's.
