Actually, it is a real Rickman Yamaha. One of 39 chassis built. Best we determined, pretty rare with only 6 of the 39 left.
Imported by Steens in Alhambra CA back then.

Many owners are happy with their purchase.
Many owners are disappointed with their purchase, especially with a couple years of ownership.
Some folks love and praise their dealer, while many folks...

Shorai LiFePo4, pretty sure that is the element makeup. Installed in our 2014 RTS. So far very impressed with the performance.

Starts with more authority than any of the Yuasa batteries I have...

Consider, a proper way to hold the grips, especially the throttle is to grab the grip similar to a door knob or screwdriver and twist.

Many, many riders tend to hold the grip more straight, and...

Kind of depends. If not releasing belt tension via the adjusters, then yes, folks will disconnect the ride height position sensor. Then removing the lower shock bolt, move the rear suspension...

R6Roadracer, as you learned, Spyders, whether RT series or F3 series, any of the earlier models, even the Rykers, none are race machines, or even what should be considered a race on Sunday sell on...

Not exactly, as others have done the lead to lithium battery swap long before me.
Merely got frustrated with Yuasa replacement having a less than stellar life span.

If I did stay with lead based...

Measuring ride height based off shock length as you discovered can be challenging to measure.

The benefit of using that method is in understanding the suspension points are symmetric and does a...

Simply to clarify, OP says 2015 F3 with a 1330 powerplant, so no spark plug wires. COP style ignition.

Gave up on lead based batteries in the Spyder.
Ours now has a Shorai brand lithium type, like LiFe4 or something like that. Works absolutely fabulous in our 2014 RTS.

Removing front shocks is less drama on a 2014 RT series vs the newer style RT series in my opinion.
As for removing springs, and reinstalling with preload adjusters, it can be a bit attentive...

While I do hope you resolved the issue, do not be surprised if it returns.

Recently had odd temp fluctuations, then no issues, then odd temps again several times on our 14 RTS.

Several folks...

At a guess, your front drive pulley is having issues with worn splines.

To clarify the logic.

Jacking under the shock bolt, on the shocks lower eyelet is a fraction of the stress into the bolt than when riding. Sitting static on the ground, the rear shock lower bolt,...

My bad for believing that your PA motorcycle permit held similar status as here in Florida.
All the best with your tests and getting whatever endorsement it is you desire.

The topic and replies seem a bit confusing.

Seems the person that created the topic stated he already has a motorcycle license endorsement for PA.

Does PA. require a three wheel endorsement...

Few things, removing the thermostat from the 1330 water pump assembly is a risky pain. The thermostat retainer spigot is also plastic and snaps in place.

Inside the water pump, the thermostat is...

Simple follow up. Brand new oem water pump / thermostat assembly arrived today.

Installed the waterpump onto the engine. Hoses connected. Serviced the coolant with the same batch I recently...

Regarding the thermostat, essentially, it should be considered not removable. Yes, I did remove it, without damage to the housing parts and such, but it was not intended to be removed.

My...

Simply a FWIW, photos of the oem bolts without thread lock compound, bypass style thermostat, metal crush sleeves in thermoplastic water pump housing and thermostat area of the water pump housing. ...

Reviving an older topic in an effort to clarify a few details.

As insight, our 2014 RTS SE6, began having temp fluctuations while idling. Fans operated normal. Then other times, all would be...

Just FWIW, there is no shortcoming of talented Spyder techs on some of the FB groups. Believe the one group has 5 now independent techs, several that are factory trained and formerly were employed...

I tend to agree with the comment posted by Jdr00ejr that the poll, posted here, is a bit biased.
Would be interesting to compare results of the same worded poll on several of the FB groups.

Most times too, when fixing aluminum engine cases on motorcycles, we must use a propane torch or high temp heat gun and get the area hot, then wash with brake cleaner.

Typically it takes about 6...

The bearing cups on the RT622 hubs were not intended to be removed by design. There is no edge or lip of the bearing exposed that allows driving out the bearing cups.

I replaced bearings on a...

Our Spyder, not concerned about having high mileage tires that last almost forever and are super low cost.

Will not run touring tires. Prefer high performance tires that trade better grip for...

For a long time, Inspector Gadget had the template on his Spyder webpage. The intent from him was you could buy one from him, or, utilize his template, free of charge, and make your own.

A couple...

Agree with the original person that posted.

I installed one of these on my friends 2021 RT Limited. His installation retained the oem catalytic converter setup and added the muffler.

The fit...

Very ironic that you refuse to accomplish the battery test he suggested. Granted, your bad key indication is not during engine cranking, but the guy did recommend one of the first viable steps in...

There is a large performance suspension company's slogan that states:, “the best you know, is the best you’ve ridden”.

At your 220 pounds, assuming Elka sprung you correctly, it should be an...
