That's nonsense.
I don't think I've ever seen that question when getting an insurance quote.
I've been running on my YUASA battery for a few months now and no more slow cranking or VSS faults!
I don't rely on the miles to empty number too much. I have an app on my phone (Fuelio) that I use to keep track of fuel for both my Spyder and my GMC. At each fill up I enter the trip odometer...
These bikes come with car tires and the wheels are car wheels, not motorcycle rims. The only issue I know is some tire machines need an adapter due to the smaller hubs in these wheels.
The batteries that came in new '22 RTs are trash. Due to supply chain problems (or because BRP decided to go cheap) they put an inferior imported battery in these units instead of the superior Yuasa...
I used an automotive floor jack, raised the spyder up about a foot, let it rest on jack stands under the lower control arms, dropped the jack, added some 2x4 wood blocks on the jack cradle and raised...
This is typical in the industry. I've owned Suzuki, Kawasaki and Harley-Davidson motorcycles over the last 20 years. Models typically go years without being updated. Kawasaki is still selling...
I have the KOTT grill covers and ended up not installing them on my 2022 because I could not get them in place without bending them. Anyone have any suggestions? Yes, I followed the instructions.
We don't have Buc-ees out here in the west. My wife and I will be driving to Missouri in the spring and I'm looking forward to visiting a Buc-ees.
I live in the Phoenix area. No snow here, very little rain, and only freezes a couple of times a year. However, riding is not very pleasant when it's 110-120 degrees, so I ride less during summer....
Why not? I do a lot of touring, usually 400-600 miles/day and usually take secondary or scenic routes. Electric isn't up to the task with present day technology. Charging stations will be situated...
I came from the Harley world a year ago. I have noticed that when riding my Spyder, most motorcycle riders wave (even Harleys), the one group that consistently stands out as non-wavers is others on...
Hi,
I have a need to remove the front trunk ("frunk") on my 2022 RTL. I thought I had seen a how-to video a few months back, but I can't find it now. Does anyone have a link to a video that shows...
Personally, I'd just replace the battery and not worry about it. Who gets 7 years out of a motorcycle battery?
I added a "docking station" to my 22 RTL. One side has dual USB plugs and the other side has a 12v lighter socket. On long trips, if my phone isn't charging, I just plug into the USB port and solve...
The only place I usually see dedicated motorcycle parking where I live is at Harley dealerships. That said, I have a disabled plate - so I usually get prime parking.
tekton.com makes decent tools at a reasonable price. You can order individual wrenches there.
Show Chrome makes a beefier strut for the trunk lid on 2020+ RT models. I ordered mine from Slingmods, about $35.
I would like nets for the saddlebag doors to hold smaller loose items. They have them for older models, why not 2020+?
Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't find it on Youtube, didn't think to check Martin's site. Thanks a lot!
I have used the balancing beads in my previous motorcycles, even a Kawasaki VN1600 Nomad with a rear car tire and they worked great. Yes, you are supposed to remove the lead weights.
I'll just say it - I'm an idiot. I took a 3000 mile trip on my 2022 RT-L from Phoenix to Cody, WY and the radiators are full of deceased insect life and vegetation. I have purchased protective grills...
Maybe like me, they work during the week and ride/do other things on the weekends. Not everyone on here is retired.
That's literally what the kill switch is for. I know on other bikes, it was recommended to use the kill switch because repeatedly using the key to turn it off could damage the contacts in the...
I'm disabled (double below knee amputee) and getting down to the ground and getting up again is extremely difficult for me. I installed a Fobo2 system so I only have to get down on the ground if the...
I have a Pedal Commander which is essentially the same product/does the same thing, and the difference was night and day. There's something wrong with yours if you can't tell a difference.
I ride with two prosthetic legs (double below knee amputee). It's fine, I have to lift my whole lower leg to use the brake as I have no ankle flexion, but I'm used to it.
Me too. I'm in South Gilbert, and still work so weekday rides are out.
It's a plastic box. If someone wanted it bad enough, a well-placed pry bar would pop it off the rack it sits on. Locks only keep honest people honest. This is what insurance is for. Don't keep...
