do you know what possition your foot peg is in now ? I have three different ones but not sure what length you need.

PMK,

So do you think that TLT is finished ? I wanted the kit as much for doing the Outfits (need to make quick changes) as for the Spyder. Been using Ally "I" beams and a tape for years the kit...

Just sad I can't get one like I'd planned on. We had planned to use it for the Spyder but I was also going to make some modifications so we could use it for our Sidecar outfits. Mostly I'm sad that...

PMK

Went back on the forum and found that others were also asking. BR seems to know about as much as anyone else and that's not much. I pinged some folks in sportscar road racing and one guy...

I did find that my dealer's PDI set up well...........................sucked ! as I started going through the setting the first check I made was the basic ride height it differed by 20% left to...

How are things going after Ian in South Carolina? I've been trying to order a Laser kit from True Laser Track there and have called and e-mailed with no response. With all that's going on I hope...

PMK,

Remembering that all a sway-bar really is, is a torsion bar connecting the left and right side of the suspension. What it does is pretty much make one side mirror the other as we turn left...

Hello All,

After some back and forth about alignment I find that I've had PM's and even some phone calls as to my saying that our Spyders have under-steer and that's just part of the beast and...

PMK, I'm sorry but I view the the definition of under-steer/over-steer as the one I received in school. It is the difference between steering in-put and direction of travel. You can not remove one...

PMK,

Something I noticed right off and I be you felt right away was the built in push. When I first started racing sports cars all we'd do was weld the spider gears and lock the rear end. This...

PMK,

Thank you again. Information is a good thing as we all learn from each-other.

Not sure what aircraft scales are. What I use are four scale pads that can be leveled individually. The...

PMK,

Thank you for your thoughts. Much of what you have alluded to makes total sense and I can see there are many levels of improvement depending on the amount of effort one wants to apply.

As...

Peter,

Thank you for the information. I do prefer to use mm as it seems to be a simpler method. The 1 to 3 mm seems far more reasonable (more like the Formula cars I've worked on). I will...

Hello All,

I always get good advice here so please forgive the FNG but I have a couple of questions that I do need answers to. First off (I'm not bragging just letting you know I do understand...

LOL X 10 Thank you Bear ! I've been a line mechanic, race car builder, even built motorbike to race at Isle of Man and Oz. Not really new to this spanner work. I have everything in my shop out...

I'll check that in the AM when I can look at a wire diagram.

Thanks you for the idea I would have not considered that.

Just installed the running lights kit all went rather well everything fit nicely but when I tried to turn the bloody things on I only have power to the light (slingmod) switch - at least it lights...

I must say that your problem reminds me of..................................ME ! Take a look at my post of 9/3/22 "Replaced Brake Rod " and understand that I was a racing mechanic for 40 years then...

Thought I'd mention my misstep if no other reason other than that's a lot of torque for a wheel stud so when I first thought it through I rejected that as a possibility. Would be an easy mistake to...

As I started the thread I think it is important to be the one to come clean when it was my mistake that was at the heart of the problem.

I had not only been installing the longer "BRAKE ROD" I was...

OEM rod and floor boards. It's been 123 * F ( real hot spell in N California) in my shop so I've put off messing about with the motorbike but think that the suggestion that i might have given the...

Yes that's exactly what happens. I've been a wrench my whole life and it's got me wondering if I'm suffering from some kind of brain cloud and can't see what the cause is. LOL I moved a foot peg...

Yea that's my thinking and why I posted what happened. I'm not that bad a mechanic and ao it left me in a quandary

2022 Spyder F 3
I just replaced the brake rod to allow moving my foot position from #3 to #4. Now it takes two pumps on the pedal to get good feeling pedal. Any idea why that happened ? I am...

Trikes may be OK but they always scared me a tad. Must be all the lost skin I got riding my Honda three wheeler. I think that for me part of the love at first ride on the Spyder is how close a...

Well after having my bike for almost a month we're starting to get to know each other. I've been making it a point to switch back and forth between two and three wheels and it is getting easier each...

Hi Deanna, Really do love the ride. There are a few things I'll be changing such as where the brake pedal is in relation to my foot (I get a cramp in my ankle) looks to be an easy fix. I also plan...

DOOO, Thank you for asking how I like my new scooter (not sure why some folks want pictures of a motorbike that they can see on the CanAm web site, I guess it's only proof of life or some such) and...

I will take it easy. In my youth I did a lot of testing of Race Cars so I do know to sneak up on speed. Learned right off that these vehicles have push because of the design much like a sled has. ...

LOL Jake you were speaking to me in a foreign language. So is a "flickr app for dirty pictures now I do eat an Apple SE (super energy) every day but you missed the part where I only have a flip...
