I got it done. It took all day but I am slow and meticulous. Thanks for sharing your experience. I ran the batt wires in flex tubing down the left side after removing all pannels on that side.

thank you. Which side did you run the wire? Which side is alternator on? Did you have to remove panels on both sides of bike?
Thanks again

Well, I tried the Mystery Oil (in a couple tanks) and it hasn't changed the "hum". Most every one who has commented on my description of the "hum" (as I call it) thinks it's probably the fuel pump. ...
Thanks so much for your reply.
Three questions: 1) what year/model Spyder did you put the Viair compressor on? 2) Which model Viair did you use? 3) how loud is your compressor when it engages? ...
I am considering that. But do you not have an issue with the psi dropping (during a ride... not just over a period of weeks)? Thanks for your reply
is the Viair 95C the compressor that others have used for 2014"s and up? Thanks for your reply.
I can't remember for sure the model... I know the Viair we used was a 95 ...and I'm almost certain it was a "C" version (I sent it back and got a refund after we tried it [several months ago]). ...
Thanks for your reply. My preference is to have the compressor (that works correctly, quietly and affordably)... but your suggestion may be the best solution. I'm considering that. Thanks again.
The mechanic used to work full time for a dealership but is no longer with them... but works with me personally on my Spyder. He knows the Spyder inside and out.
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for that. I'm almost certain that I got the correct Viair compressor. I spent a lot of time researching it and watching youtube videos from others who had replaced their compressors. And I...
I understand... but at a price of over $400 (not including labor) ...that's definitely a bullet! ...Especially when I know that the mark up on that compressor is at least 200%. So, I'm just asking...
The Viair has to be taken apart and rotate the pump head in order for it to orient correctly into position. But, when you rotate that head, the piston head does not fit correctly and consequently...
The Viair had to be modified to fit... it is not shaped like the CanAm compressor. But the modification changed the way the pump head sits on the pump motor and that was a real problem. It simply...
I have a 2014 RT. The original air compressor was replaced under warranty 3 yrs ago... now the new one (from 3 yrs ago) is making lots of noise and runs often. I know how to replace it...I tried an...
Thanks for the replies
I have not heard of marvel mystery oil. I have tried some fuel additives but that hasn't made any difference.
Where can I find Marvel Mystery Oil. And is it recommended as a fuel additive? After...
It started over the past year. Thanks for the reply.
I'm hearing a consistent hum from the engine (2014 RT). Everything seems to be running fine... engine performance is normal... but this hum is not normal. It does it while moving or in idle. It's...
I have just replaced the compressor with the Viair 97. It pumps up the air bag great but is very loud. The old compressor wasn't even this loud when it went bad. Any body got words of wisdom?
We...
Thānks again.
I looked at the specs on this compressor and it says that it is 24 volts. I was expecting it to say 12 volts. My Spyder is a 2014 (I noticed yours is a 2013). Will this compressor that is a 24...
Thanks for that info. Where do you get Vair 95C?
Thanks for your advice. That sounds good. I've got to determine next if the bag is leaking and/or a line.
What aftermarket did you use for the. Compressor? Thanks
Well, I'm back with compressor problems.
I'm 99% sure my compressor that was replaced under warranty a few years ago in my 2014 RTL (1330) needs to be replaced again so I'm looking for where is the...
I'm 99% sure my compressor in my 2014 RTL (1330) needs to be replaced so I'm looking for where is the best place to order one (price)? Any suggestions. Dealership sales it for $370.
My 2014 RTL was like that. I don't remember the millage (but it was under 7,000) = the fuel economy went up 8-9 mpg (up to average 40-42 mpg), the bike got smoother...shifts and all. Everyone told...
Hey I am changing my brake pads on my 2014 Spyder RT. Can anybody tell me the torque pressure for the caliper screws?
