Glad you were able to walk away. Hope you're on the mend and not hurting too much by now.

US Army veteran '78-'82, 24Q E4 Night hides not!
62. Two years to retirement. Been riding on and off since early 70's.
I just did my brake bleeding with speedbleeders and I can just say that every spyder and motorcycle owner should have them. Bleeding my spyder took half of the time this time around. Ready to ryde!
:agree:

What year? You might be better off just using your smart phone thru a bluetooth link.
On cheap cycle parts they refer to the color as Black Current Metallic.
Same for me. I can get the popup on the screen for a marker by holding the right button but the marker won't save.
I'm overdue for my brake fluid change. It was supposed to get done last fall but I'm doing it now. SpeedBleeders are on the way and I hope to have them before the weekend. Using a vacuum pump...
My favorite.... "Hold my beer and watch this!" :roflblack:
:agree: Lifting the front end of an RTS involves lifting most of the mass of the spyder. I used a pair of folding ramps for the back of a pickup that were rated for 1500#. Just put them on and...
Welcome SpyderLovers! I put foam handlebar covers on my RTS. Helped a lot. All the comments above about handling are helpful. I recommend reading the do's and do nots posting for newbies.
I bought my RTS from them in August 2016 and the only thing I didn't like was the waiting for the mail and everything to clear. I think it took around 3 weeks start to finish. Other than that...

Righty tighty, lefty loosy!
Amazon has the Kumho Ecsta 4X II Performance Radial Tire -205/55R15 88V for $85.91
I always do before that way when good weather hits in the spring all I have to do is check tire pressure.
Did anyone mention oil level? Was it checked? It's not a good idea to assume that the dealer checked it.
KBB says $18.5k. Trade is $14.3k.
If you have clean oil you need to put the dipstick on a colored paper towel to see where the oil is. You can use a white one but with a colored one you can see the oil on the towel easier. I've...
What model? Lifted or on the ground?
If you don't mind laying on the floor you don't need the ramps. I don't raise mine up and have no problems. Plus I'm in no hurry so I let it drain for an hour or 2.
Just like an old VW Bug with the large bolt pattern. You sit on the floor, make a Y with your feet (heels on the floor, toes pointed out), put the tire on your toes and adjust as needed until the...
Merry Christmas Everyone! Have a Safe and Wonderful New Year! Ryde safe!!
I'll be getting in line for one of these when my warranty is about to expire on my RTS.
I'm sure others will reply but 20w50 I think is a bad idea. Stick with 10w40.
As you can see below, I have a 2016 RTS.
I play music from a thumb drive on the RT radio. It's plugged in the usb cable in the top case. But it has to be formatted FAT32 or it won't work.
