    WTB: Need an engine!

    I'm Buckeye Chuck, haven't been here in a while.
    I had a '14 Spyder RT. It had lots of miles. My health forces me to sell, 3 years ago, to my brother Buckeye Ken 48. His engine quit, no compression,...

    I posted that the left saddlebag lid was stuck on my brother's 2014 RT-S, that issue was resolved.
    Thanks Longtimer!

    Now we want to clean, adjust and fix both saddlebag lids. Is this done from...

    Re: High mileage Spyder questions, answers.

    You nailed it Longtimer! Problem solved. Brother Ken thanks you! As do I.
    Now, how to adjust and lube cables? Is that from the back or each saddlebag?

    We tried a light rap with the ball of your hand to a rubber mallet. You pull the release on the left side and it opens as it should. But you pull the other side and there's no resistance, like the...

    Saddlebag lid stuck.

    I sold my high mileage 2014 Spyder RT-S to my brother. Now we can't get the right side saddlebag lid to come off. The left side works fine but when the release is pulled you feel nothing. Is the...

    Yes, I know. But the rear side panels are screwed from inside the bag lids> they can't be reached!

    This is a mystery to me. I just sold my 2014RT-S with over 188,000 miles, on the original front sprocket. I replaced the rear at 155,000 but the front looked fine. No red dust.

    How is the cables adjusted when the saddlebag won't open. Are the cables adjusted from the back, or each side. Either way the rear side covers have to come off, but how? The side screws are under the...

  11. Saddlebag lid stuck!

    I recently sold my 2014 RT-S with 188,000+ miles on it to my brother, Ken. He brought it over to get the right saddlebag lid to open, I couldn't. The other side works right, but the right doesn't...

    Time has come..

    As much as I hate it, the time has come to retire from motorcycling. After 55 years and well over 1,150,000 miles. I've owned 25 motorcycles, the last two a BMW trike K1200LT, and my beloved 2014...

    This sounds simple, more common sense than anything. But I'm handicapped and this sounds like I have to remove the front end, which I can't do. My thought is to fill the reservoir tank as much as it...

    When you said head gasket, I shivered. No cheap fix at $90 an hour. But luckily the oil albeit a little low is dark amber color, just like it should be.
    Tomorrow I'll try filling it and see. I...

    I may have the most miles on a 1330 ACE engine on my 2014 RT-S. Today mine turned 170,000 miles. Not one engine problem. I have noticed at idle it is quieter than when new. I think with good oil...

    So true...

    As I've seen lately, Cheap Cycle Parts are pretty close to OEM BRP parts.
    And if ordered your part will be on your doorstep in about 4-5 days.
    Now if you can install said part, that's on you.
