Thanks to everyone for the advice - I guess I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on my oil level. I don't ride very often (mostly just weekends) and I don't ride very hard, so I'd be surprised if...
Hi All. I have a questions for those of you who are more adept at Spyder maintenance than I am. I am having an issue with burning oil. I read the thread that was started last year about how much...
My advice would be to determine what riding position you like. The RS will give you the most forward riding position and is most like a sport bike (though in all honesty, you can't really compare...
Happy Birthday. Wish i could have given you a good riding day, but its not much better here in Chicago. :banghead:
Done. Thanks for adding this.
My 2010 RT A/C won't hold air for more than a few hours. Everyday I ride it, I need to refill the airbag because it will go flat.
Thanks for all your comments. I wasn't looking to get a new helmet, but I think that might be the best route if I get a good one with the inner sun shield. In the interim, sunglasses it is......
Can anyone comment on whether the light smoke face shields are sufficient for riding in bright sunlight (i.e. midday or evening while riding into the setting sun) or do I need a dark smoke shield for...
I'm getting ready to do the same thing and my dealer (in IL) told me the same thing. They said something about rubber compound used in the tire possibly throwing off a sensor. Personally, I'm not...
Better quality than the Harbor Freight jack and only $169.

Bob - do you make/sell these cables? I don't have the equipment to make a cable, nor do I really want to purchase it, because I doubt I'll ever make another cable. If you sell them for a reasonable...
Yup. If memory serves correct, the priority on the SENA units is phone call/intercom/music in that order. So if you're listening to music and you either receive a phone call or your passenger...
I think next April is more likely than NY in a few weeks (though I would have liked to get out there).
I have a 2010 RT. I probably got the bike up about 14'-15''. I just used one of the locking jack stops that allowed me to get the jack stands under the front. I really didn't measure it out. 18...
I'd love a backrest, but I can't decide between the Utopia or going with a full upgrade to the seat. I saw the Corbin seat for sale on the forums, but that's a lot of $$$ for something I've never...
And here I thought you were a seasoned vet! Glad you found this helpful. If you end up with questions, just PM me and I can share what I know (which, admittedly, isn't very much!) ;)
Hi Doug - I will actually be riding through Norway very shortly. I have a couple hours before company comes over, so I will get a quick ride in. However, I would be interested in getting a ride in...
Well, now that I have been fully bitten by the Spyder-bug, I spent the day installing my first set of farkles. This afternoon I installed the BajaRon Anti-Sway Bar and an assortment of Spyderpops...
So my SpyderPops Bump Shield, Missing Belt Guard and Catalytic Converter Shields were delivered today. The BajaRon Swaybar is enroute and should be here soon. Now I need to decide in what order to...
:clap:Nice!
For those of you who have purchased new tires from online vendors, where did you get them mounted and balanced? In reading this and other threads, it sounds like the Can-Am Dealers won't want to...
Now you're talking! My high school had a radio station and I used to play In a gadda da vita all the time (followed up by one of the many suitable songs by The Doors). Those were the days...
Thanks for the advice. My cycle jack does lock so I will make sure to use that in addition to the jack stands. Incidentally, I also have car ramps, but I didn't think they'd be high enough off the...
I just ordered a BajaRon Anti-Sway Bar that I will be installing soon. As I am a newbie to Spyderhood, I went out an purchased a 1500 lb capacity ATV Jack (that BajaRon recommended) and 2 jack...
In all honesty, you might might want to look at the Spyders that are for sale right now on the 4 Sale by Owner forum on this site. If you want to get the biggest "bang for the buck" then check out...
I'm sure every Spyder owner has a different opinion, but I wouldn't call 4500-5500 RPM optimum by any means. For my 2010 RT, I don't reach the power band until 5000, so I tend to ride more in the...
My permanent tee time has kept me away from most of the organized rides in my area, but the golf season is winding down now, so I'm hoping to get some of the fall rides in (either with the Woodstock...
Are you sure the clutch fully locks at 3200 (+-200)? That seems awful low, since my RT is usually lugging along at 3200 unless I'm in 1st gear. Like Spyder Tony, I don't shift out of 1st gear until...
Every so often I run into another Spyder ryder in the Chicago Suburbs, but today, I saw 2 within a couple miles of my house. If you were the guy on the Brown RT (Northbound on Kirk Rd just north of...
