So, the time has come. The wife traded in her her 2012 RT-SE5 towards a Subaru Crosstrek. She just never really rode the Spyder as much as she thought she would. To cold, nope! Same with to hot. To...

Rotax motors as a whole are bullet proof, but I know that a bit of "seepage" is considered normal. Ours has a few damp spots but I just put it down to Rotax sealing quality. Im not worrying about it...

Sorta sure there was a fuel cap service bulletin about the gas cap, something about it having a red(ish)-orange sealing ring underneath. Ours had the updated cap already installed.

Welcome, you will have fun with it!

New/used? Good/bad credit? Got our used RT at 2.0% thru the sales guy's credit union (he "sponsored" us). Was originally told 2.5%-was even happier with 2% when I went to pick it up. This rate was...

No heat thru the seat on our RT, but my wife complains about the heat from the radiator vent trying to melt her right leg while riding on the back. Im not Mr. Safety so I noticed it also while...

The whole matte black craze reminds me of when my 2000 Yamaha Zuma got stolen. It left in wonderful Yamaha blue and came back matte black, the thieves even painted the grips and seat! Remember when...

All done and sealed back up! Runs feakin' GREAT! I'm basking in the success of doing it myself with some donuts. Its the little things in life. Anyways, now I have to find out what Service...

I too was supposed to get one (GoPro) for Xmass from my wife BUT I cashed out my credit card points before switching banks and got one with the points. Luckily the wife did not buy one yet, and I...

Thanks for the link. I did not find that info with the search engine option, think it has more to do with my computer skills than with the site. I ordered the hoses Frank showed from NAPA, strange...

FINALLY got the hoses found and removed. Rear hose looked good, front one was cracking. What size have you all found for the MAP hoses? NAPA had 1/8th inch fuel line hose but it does not fit very...

Got the panels off but the bugs are coming out so I hung it up for the day. Found 1 of 2? of the MAPS hoses, and they "look" good. Manual states the correct length so I may replace it/them anyways to...

Bike has 13,532 miles and it recently started this craziness. The "check engine" will flash at random during take off/first gear only (no flash pattern, just random flicker). Oil level is good. Fuel...

My wife is starting to take a liking to the 2012 RT-SE5, but at 5'1" she finds the arm reach to long and would like a backrest that is "adjustable". We are thinking of pulling the trigger on the...

Welcome to the web! Wait till summer, as everyone wants to know what you are riding! Do enjoy and keep the shiny side up/rubber side down!

My boss told me about the Zip Grips, obviously AFTER my little sliding experiment. Will have to look into them for emergency use. He said he found them on Kickstarter and that they were kinda...

I ride scooters most of the time, my wife rides the Spyder. I do grab the Spyder keys when I can, as I find it kinda fun to ride (in its own way) compared to a two wheeler. A lot of people become a 2...

The Spyder and I survived! Most of the roads were very clear, but the ones that did not get plowed stunk! If I put the front tires into the car tracks then the back wheel kept sliding around, and if...

I have to go back to work today after two days off because of dreaded snow. What's so stupid about that you say? I have to take the Spyder, on icy/nasty/treated roads! I know what all of you are...

My local Spyder dealer is who I ordered the manual from. They know its a 2012 RT, and that is what I ordered. At least I'm not the only one who has the 219 100 536 Shop Manual for a 2012 RT. Now I...

At the moment to RT lives outdoors. We use the BRP full cover. Nice quality and fits great. Only problem is the stray cats like to "mark" it on the front wheels-YUCK! Need to make space in the...

OK, that's the one I got also. 2010-2011. Part#219 100 536. I remember a auto manufacturer that did the same thing, went by when the vehicle was actually made, not the model "year". Thanks for the...

I'm old school, so I like the physical shop manuals-not the PDF computer types. Anyways, I ordered a shop manual ($162.49) for my 2012 RT SE5 and I suspect I recieved the wrong one. I cannot find a...

The first MANDATORY mod is gonna be cup holders! Can't live without my bicycle water bottle with water and she needs something to hold her Pepsi. I need to get on that-ASAP! She will be looking at...

So I take it these Spyders are like cats, you cant have just one! Its the same with the scooters I guess, we have 4 total. Pictures are a different story, I need to learn how to post them. It's part...

The blue one. 10,000miles. Mint condition! Thank you for posting the "Do and Do Not's". Reading that prior to the test ride of the Spyder made it MUCH easier and enjoyable! Actually got it for my...
