I had a panel come off, it was dark and I didn't notice it was gone. I retraced my steps the following day and found it barely damaged on the verge of a 4 lane. Timed it so there was a lull in the...
Perhaps it does....

Well, after my partner died my friends told me they'd find me a biker chick, they didn't come up with anyone so I had to find my own. We ride a bike each so not quite your problem...But, this year we...
Oil threads are always contentious so you'll need to sift through all the views and make your own mind up. Personally, I run 3 motorcycles plus two Spyders and I don't use motorcycle specific oil in...
If you lower the Spyder rear suspension, the nose will rise considerably. It might be the easy fix you need.
Aha, we might be talking crossed. The V-twin RTs use solid bushes but the 1330 uses rubber bushes. They both use steel ball joints on the upright, though of different design.
If nothing else, it shows the importance of reporting an issue to the dealer and insisting that BRP is made aware of it.
You do realise that although a sway bar keeps your Spyder more level, it transfers load from the inside tyre to the one on the outside of a curve, don't you?
It wasn't PRP it was me... everything, I recollect I only mentioned one thing.
Ha, I see PRP has beaten me to it! :thumbup:
You're not familiar with UK roads, Kendas give about 8k here. But the low pressure would account for much of the low mileage.
That bolt is screwed out! That's not a sprocket failure that's a fitment failure. Plainly you'll need a new sprocket because it's been rattling around on the splines but the new one needs to be...
Is there a pedal return spring, if it's broken the pedal weight could apply a bit of brake and activate the brake light.
The sensor is fastened to the bottom of the seat, just remove it and leave it loose. A bit of tape or Blutack will prevent it sliding about.
You can get a tacho signal from the ECM side of either an ignition coil or fuel injector. Both of these carry a supply current on one terminal and the ECM grounds the other terminal to activate them....
Have you got your head around the adjustment? The bigger the gap from the rear flange, the further to the left the belt rides on the front pulley.
It looks ok. https://www.camskill.co.uk/m53b0s6135p143306/Achilles_Tyres_Car_Achilles_ATR-K_Economist_-_165_55_R15_75H_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3Ao_F_Wet_Grip%3A_C_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_70dB
Same wet grip...
The pulling to one side has been fairly common. If you're changing brake pads you'll likely get it sorted. Two things to get right re the pulling: exercise the caliper pistons by pumping them out...
I'd be wary of your customer's figures because there's no way 500rpm equates to 4mph.
However, I'm in agreement, going to a 205/50 from a 225/50 will over read on the speedo by an additional...
Yes, but be wary of the sheep effect, imho.
OK, I'll bite. I'm on my phone so I hope the order of the pics is correct!
1 is symmetrical and directional
2 is assymmetric and needs to be fitted with the lower part of your picture outwards....
Actually there is a matching one. I've taken them off the rims so I'll keep them for you, you can collect when you're next passing. :thumbup:
It's about the right size, should I fit it or do you think it'll aquaplane?
:banghead:
Good job. :thumbup:
That looks a good bet, wet grip A, very quiet, and reasonably fuel efficient. I'd give it a go for a summer tyre....
Well that's pretty much how I feel too, though our rain/sun at the mo is more like 50/50. When in the mountains of Europe this time of year and onwards snow is also possible, erm...likely.
I can't recall a tyre marked 'outside' that didn't also have some form of asymmetric tread pattern but I don't doubt it existed. My guess would be it had an asymmetric construction which imparted a...
I think the notion that if the tyre aquaplanes there may be an issue is a misunderstanding of aquaplaning. In this situation the tyre will have completely left the road surface and it will be on top...
I did, good find, thanks. :thumbup:
It's very easy to be critical and blame the Chinese based, it seems, only on predudise but there are plenty of tyre gators on the roads from all sorts of tyres.
It may well have been a faulty...
