2017 F3 purchased new in April 2018 15000 miles with no problems so far.

I ride interstate quite a bit and encounter semi trucks regularly. I ride an f3s with all stock suspension and find the bike little bothered by semi wind. Your body feels the buffeting and if you...

Don't confuse politics with science. Polluting the atmosphere is not a good idea regardless of "global warming". Look at some of the Chinese cities where one can barely breath. Don't tease the...

I ride a 2009 purchased used 5 1/2 years ago with under 600 miles on the clock. I had never been on a Spyder but liked the idea. I rode it home 75 miles, a little bit on the interstate and the rest...

Check your brake fluid level. Very sensitive, even a tablespoon low will cause intermittent warning.

My heat shield fell off and I didn't notice exactly when; so my experience tells me it didn't do much to reduce heat. To be fair, when I purchased the Spyder used it had aftermarket floorboards that...

I drive a 6 speed manual sport coupe and a manual trans spyder. I have owned auto trans and much prefer manual trans for driving fun. If you have never driven a manual trans vehicle it may seem...

I own a 2009 RS with 23,000 miles, all trouble free. In the past two months a strange issue has emerged. After shutting down for a period of time, but still warm, the Spyder won't start. The key...

I guess my eyesight is failing, but nowhere have I seen the address of Len's new dealership in Springfield, MO. Is there a web sight or phone number yet? Springfield is a lot closer for me than...

Retal Management, now retired.

These look like the ones on my 2009. They were installed when I bought the Spyder used. The installation required cutting away part of the body work resulting in a lot of heat on the right foot. ...

Purchased 15 months ago, used, with 570 miles on the odo (2009 RS) now has 16,000 + miles. Never stranded, one code for dps right after front tires were rotated, occuring on a sharp curve at high...

Point one, its a SPORT bike; if you wanted a tourer you should have purchased one. I like the leg position.

Point two, putting the radiator and oil cooler up front would have compromised the...

Who cares, save the gripe for something important. The dealer gives you nothing for his free ad on your machine so you owe them nothing. A free wash job is worth it, you can throw the thing away...

I took off the original paint with an orbital sander using fine grit wet dry sanding disc. It took about a half hour to clean off the old paint, the hardest part being under the hanger and next to...

Much like the "wandering" that some new riders report, buffeting is more a matter of what the rider feels than what is happening to the Spyder. Just relax and steer normally and you'll find the...

I hear people arguing over Ford trucks vs. GM trucks vs. Ram trucks vs. Toyota trucks etc. Some people buy a Corvette, others Prius. Some people buy Goldwings, others BMW, others Yamaha. Me, I...

My understanding is that towing mode adjusts the brake balance, not just weight. It seems to me that setting the shocks to a higher level would be better than using the towing mode without a...

Your machine should not be overheating in any kind of weather. If the fan is operating as it should, the engine will not overheat. You may see the temp indicatior move up a bar, but that does not...

One last comment. If keeping a tender on your battery at all times is so important, seems that the engineers who designed the Spyder and the persons who wrote the owner's manual might have mentioned...

As a new owner of an RS a year ago I went out and bought a charger to "keep the battery up" as many suggested. Last winter I used the charger every week or so to check my battery's charge. Guess...

I broke the adjustment ring on my original equipment 2009 RS shocks by not jacking up first. The good news? I replaced the original shocks with a pair of RT shocks that had in turn been replaced by...

I used to live near Durango (30+ years ago). Much nicer before the Ski Resort and tourist influx. Still beautiful country, though.

Just a moment of inattention for whatever reason can lead to serious results--so sad.

The best place to get legal advice is from an attorney. Just be prepared to pay for it.

My closest dealer is 100 miles and I purchased from them and use them for all service. It is a pretty ride to the dealership if I stay off the interstate, so no big deal. I should add my dealer is...

Try DrinkToGo.net for a really nice holder for around $19 with shipping. I tried the Brica baby cup hoder but the rubber mount "fried" in the heat and would not hold on the handlebars of my RS. I...

Just relax, the Spyder will take care of itself. I fractured the part that allows increasing or decreasing the tension on front shocks/suspension, and repaced the RS shocks with used used RT shocks...

Try Jafrum with your search engine. I have had good luck with a leather jacket (one of the few places with tall sizes), rain gear, and a helmet. Prices are good and shipping is fast and free if...
