Ric, Ha! Idaho, Yes it’s a ‘20 RT Limited. Thanks for the vid. It appears there is some value (I’ll keep the tube).

Hi All! Harley sells a dressing for their belt drives. It came in a tube and I used it on my old Ultra, which seemed to help (better cruise speed, possibly better shifting, etc.). So, would/is this...

Ed, Thanx! Your comment on air movement seems quite relevant as I’ve noticed the RT seems to react to wind, not sure if it’s headwind more so than cross wise? But it seems to being pushing a lot of...

The concern for mileage isn’t for mileage per se, it’s for more range as mentioned by Pooch above. Well I found the miles to empty feature and I got it to reflect 250 miles last weekend! This was by...

I have discovered the dynamics are opposite of the single-track motorcycle; where you use a “push right to go right” on the motorcycle (aka countersteer) is replaced with “push right to go left.”...

Thanx all for feedback ����!

Wow, useless or 1 mpg. I’ll know for sure after a trip planned in April. But until then, maybe I’ll bite the bullet and see if a tankful does anything other than getting my doors blown off by Prius ‘...

Hi All! I can’t find the discipline to drive an entire tank in “Eco” mode ‘cause it feels like someone pulled one of the plug wires. Perhaps if I knew it could actually get another 25-30 miles of...

My first tank got 28 mpg , 2 up freeway miles. I don’t know how I could ride one out here at less than 70. Second tank with cruise set at 73 got 32 mpg. Then next tank 29... current tank looking...

Joe, Thank you! I have a ‘20 RTL so am assuming wire slack is not a problem?

I think any drive train change that would up the mileage to 35 or 38 mpg (US gallons) would get my vote. The rear tire life is long enough, I feel a belt is ok even though a shaft is superior (which...

Hi all, So if I want a closer bar position, it’s the “short reach” bar? And how much $$ and is that easy for a semi/not-so-much mechanic abilities person to do? Thanx!

Maxo, I rented a blue RT there just over a year ago. Nice folks. Becareful though- based on that I just bought a new ‘20 RTL!

Spyder insider, Yes Yarnell is fun and now quite accessible with my recent move to Sun City West! And sure, thanks for ride offer!
Yes miles of smiles. Planing return trip to Cambria, CA in near...

Hi All! Took spyder to supermarket for diet cokes. RT swallowed three 12-pack (cans) with room for more. Took daughter on ride including blast down interstate: she loved it. And went on 140-mile...

Ex Winger, Thanks for input. I returned to dealer this morning and approached them with the idea that they (the dealer) did nothing wrong in setup but that BRP should cover their error in assembly....

Hi All! Just picked up RT (second time). “Official” word why RT wouldn’t start last weekend: “Found that nut for positive cable on starter was loose as well as the secondary post for additional...

Another vote for the Neotech Shoei with the Pinlock insert. One item not mentioned is this has a built-in sun shield visor which is fabulous. Instant shade! Also provides extra layer of wind...

Wow! Missing coolant& bearings! And I may have met the dealer from Sierra Vista at a bike show: liked him and made me wish he was much closer to me. The dealer and factory rep that happened to be on...

MrBill, Ha yea-was hoping for same. As mentioned I’m afraid dealer prep may be in play. The RT arrived the Monday before I took delivery and was initially told it wouldn’t be done until next Tuesday...

AR, Yeah...bummin hard over it. Later.

Arian, Yes load tested per “Can Am smart tester.” Loose ground wire sounds like good suggestion!

BTW, yes the kill switch when depressed, would eliminate the “click.” And yes it was correct run position.

Billybovine, Not much to tell. Stop engine, fill tank, do restart procedure which after albeit only 3 days was fairly set. Yes brake was on, yes to mode button, yes to neutral (since was in N when...

Lew, I removed the battery cover and both terminals were tight. If memory serves, the battery was black with white print, possibly Yuasa. What was peculiar was the battery hold down clamp (with the...

Dudley, Ha that’s what I’d hoped for. Service writer used Can Am “smart charger” and battery checked good. Of course, Ride Now may still be my problem.

Yes will post as “plot thickens.” And yes have ridden, competed, and commuted for years. First thing tow driver asked was if kill switch was “killed” (it wasn’t as there’s no particular need for it...

Flame winger, Thanks-the dealer put the battery through Can Am’s battery test and it checked good. Was hoping for something simple, but not this time. Bummer...

Hi All! Took delivery finally last Friday of my ‘20 RT Limited. Woohoo! Take wife on ride Sunday to Canyon Lake, stop for gas, and...she no starts. WTF? Battery seemed ok. Called AAA for a jump (they...

Formerhd, In the journey to get to a Spyder, I wound up with both a Ultra Classic and a Gold Wing in my garage. After comparing both, I’ve been disappointed in the wind protection on the GW. My wife...
