    Ratchets on rear wheel and through the A arm of each front wheel, secured to tie downs on the trailer. Then I bolted two wood blocks on the floor just in front of the front wheels. Works really well...

    All good points. Thanks to all of you for the advice. I guess I will have to experiment and see what works.

    I think I could use additional ramps, but they would have to be ON the trailer ramp, not UNDER. Again, the scraping takes place BEFORE the front wheels reach the trailer ramp. Anything that elevates...

    Do you mean across the direction of the ramp (right to left)? I am not sure that would help, by the time the front wheels reach the ramp the nose has cleared it. I know I could use two ramps to...

    Possible, although I don't have to load and unload the Spyder on the trailer more than a couple of times a year.

    Using a mirror, this is what I can see underneath (not easy to see using a photo...

    Wouldn't that reduce the clearance even more and make the scraping worse?
  7. Very light scraping while loading - should I worry?

    Hello, I have a 2014 Spyder RT and an Aluma aluminum utility trailer with a 6x10 bed and a foldable ramp. Loading Spyder front first, the nose barely and briefly touches the second and third bar of...

    I don't want my cargo to bounce around when the trailer is not full, which will happen most of the time (for example, if I have only a couple of bags). Things inside the bags may brake.

    2014 RT - Trailer mode?

    Hello,

    I read that the RT should have a trailer mode that can be accessed using the MODE button. I cannot find that option on my 2014 RT, and cannot find any mentioning in the user's manual. Did I...

    How to secure cargo in tow behind trailer?

    Hello,

    I just purchased an Aluma MC trailer that I will pull behind my 2014 RT. The cargo area is totally naked, all aluminum. Any ideas how to secure the cargo inside?

    Thank you.

    Spot on! It was a loose battery cable. All is good. Thanks!

    Interesting. I did not think it could be the battery since it is brand new, but I will take it to the shop and have them test it. Thanks.
  14. Starter stuttering, computer rebooting when starting engine

    Hi all, I have a 2014 RT with about 29,000 miles and a weird problem. The starter hesitates, then kicks in while the computer reboots. See video at...

    I believe that fits the F3, but not the RT. I tried that with my Rt and the ramp was too narrow. I had to go with an Aluma 7 x 10.

    I only have the AM/FM antenna. That is probably why, although it still does not explain the odd transposition of channels.

    Yes, I get that, but when I tune to Channel 4, which is the local NOAA channel, all I get is static, while in channel 3, where I should get nothing, I get some distorted voice....

    Weather radio channel?

    Hello,

    I just "discovered" that I do have indeed a weather radio on my recently acquired 2014 RT! I always only got static noise when I tried in the past, so I thought perhaps it was an optional...

    I went back to the shop and they were very nice about it. They took the wheel off and readjusted as needed. All is good. Thank you so much for all your advice! I don't know what type would do without...

    Ah! This is EXACTLY what happened! The valve is right behind a spoke. I can touch it, but there is no space to insert even a flexible extension tube. Back to the shop. Thank you!

    Do you know where to find it, or the make and model? Thank you.

    I knew it was tubeless, so it makes sense that the valve is on the rim. I am not sure why I find it more difficult to reach it now than before then. I will check with the installer to see if they...
