My thanks to T.P. for alerting me to my error! I mentioned spraying the "cam position sensor" when in fact I meant to say "the gear position [angle] sensor"! I hope my "Geezer" slip didn't send...

My thanks to T.P. for alerting me to my error! I mentioned spraying the "cam position sensor" when in fact I meant to say "the gear position [angle] sensor"! I hope my "Geezer" slip didn't send...
My Cam Postion Sensor was throwing codes all over the place and then I noticed some oil residue around the unit. Before tackling the job of pulling the pulley wheel for access to the CPS I doused...
I, too, have missed having a handbrake on my 2011 RS-S after over 50 years of two-wheeling. I've followed the posts about both commercial and home-brew handbrakes and after a lot of thought I...
Just a thought ----- I have, on several occasions, had the vent on the gas cap get plugged up by the dust we all kick up on our travels and merely cleaning the vent solved the problem. Your issue of...
I am planning on winching my Spyder from its rear into my truck and was hoping I could draw upon the collective wisdom of the Forum to see if that is a poor choice. My inclination is to use soft...
SOLD! I put exactly zero miles on this Two Brothers Racing Muffler as I removed it as soon as my 2011 RSS was delivered. I replaced it with a stock muffler. The Two Brothers is in excellent shape...
I used "Back To Black" cleaner prior to using "Back To Black" protectant on my Isuzu VehiCross, which has a LOT of cladding, well over a year ago and it STILL looks great. It's been garaged since...
My trusty "Leatherman" Multi-Purpose tool has tackled every roadside repair from a seized brake caliper to electrical problems for several decades. It fits on my belt and is guaranteed for life. I...
Next birthday, I'll be 83 and never dreamed that I'd be back riding a tricycle, albeit a motorized one, like I had when I was 5 ! I simply couldn't trust my old knees, hips and ankles to reliably...
The best advice -- and the ONLY piece of advice I offered my son when he threw a leg over his first motorcycle was -- Ride as if you NEVER have the "Right-of-Way" !
It would save a lot of grief for...
A note of encouragement about the GBPS switch : My recently acquired RS-S was jumping from gear to gear and displayed the dreaded "E" on the display. Of course, the first thing I did was to go to...
The only ODYSSEY AGM battery I have owned was in my recently sold [replaced by a CanAm RS-S] BMW K-75. I believe it was in that bike for at least 10 years and was always kept on a battery...
Surprisingly, I found a 2011 RS-S on FaceBookMarketplace with 14k on the odometer ! It turned out to have as many accessories added to it as I paid for the Spyder itself. The previous owner was an...
I knew I came to the right place ! BFromla identified the bags [which I soon found to be the V-35 model] and billybovine alerted me to a special tool. It would be really irritating to find out...
I just acquired my first Spyder RS-S online, and upon its arrival I discovered that there are no keys for the saddlebags ! I suspect that they are either GIVI or SHAD bags but can find no markings...
I'm looking for a stock muffler for my 2011 RS-S. Judging by all the comments about after-market mufflers, there must be a lot of stock mufflers gathering dust under workbenches all around the...
Actually, I didn't mention the fact that my Ford Super Duty has a fiberglass bed cover that rises hydraulically straight up six feet and parallel to the bed, so, as I did mention before, I could ride...
Thanks for all of the thoughts about loading a Spyder into a pick-up truck ! I'm going to push it one step further ---- What if the Spyder is loaded onto the truck bed using a winch ? It might be a...
I guess that trailers are the best way to go, but has anyone here backed their Spyder into the bed of of a pickup truck ? My Ford Super Duty has a tailgate opening that is one inch wider than the...
I noticed that your location is "nowhere". Is that anywhere near Pennsylvania ? Cheers !!
