Because the old models had no provision for a cruise control which cut options. Whereas the newer models do. I'd certainly go with the OEM if that is available at any kind of reasonable price. Though...

I would check for an oil leak onto a hot surface. However, you should check the CVT air filter often. They can get clogged quickly. If that happens the belt will overheat and you'll need a new one in...

Never attempt to make a belt adjustment by loosening the adjuster. You'll fail every time. Make all adjustments in the clockwise, tightening direction so that you get positive movement of the axle....

Blended oil is a marketing gimmick (in my opinion). It is 90% cheap, regular mineral oil with a meager 10% synthetic. Just go 100% synthetic and get 100% of the good stuff. Also, I believe a 10w 40...

Typically, if you've worn your pads down enough to require replacement, you have added brake fluid to the reservoir. When you compress the caliper pistons, this added fluid in the system returns to...

It doesn't say anything about a JASO rating. Unless you can confirm that it is JASO rated MA2, then I wouldn't risk a clutch on it.

Not all that pertinent to this thread. But I have installed aftermarket CC on the older models that don't come with this feature.

The drama is strong with this one. Hopefully, a quick and agreeable solution to the problem can be arrived at.

Not usually a good idea to 'Tinker' with Spyder or Ryker alignments unless you have an extremely accurate way to get proper adjustment and alignment with the rear wheel. And BUDS to reset the...

Appears that the lions share of responses went to 'Only When Necessary' and 'Sometimes'.

Somehow, I thought the group would be more on the frisky side. But stopping to think about it. Buying an...

So, according to the dealership, you don't have a problem.

That's a trip from Frenchville, Main to San Diego, California once every 2 weeks for a full year.

I was going to say... '78,00 miles in 1 year!'. That's an average of 213+ miles each day! I would get on my Spyder today and ride to Utah just to shake your hand! Thanks Pete! You saved me the trip!

Lamonster Garage is definitely one of the Good Ones! It's a shame that they were forced to cancel their annual event this year. Was very much looking forward to seeing Lamont & Crew and all of you...

2011 RT according to his earlier posts...

I agree. Even damaged belts will run fine depending on what the damage is. Missing teeth or broken altogether is about the only 2 things that warrant replacement.

What codes are you getting?

Surf the site here for a myriad of ways to lift the Spyder. From tailgates to ATV lifts. I did my BIL's with a cheesy little floor jack and a lot of cribbing. Though I had 2 brothers and the BIL to...

Everything ages and wears out. But the drive belt on the Spyder is pretty bullet proof. Check it once in awhile. But other than this, just ride and enjoy.

We adjust with the wheel off the ground, rear tire raised with the axle tight but just loose enough so that the tension adjusters can still move the axle rearward. We only adjust rearward. If we need...

Make it easy on yourself. If you can get one for less locally, I would go that route. You don't have to get it from me. But I'm glad you're doing it. I think you will be much better off when able to...

I would not run a belt very long after such an adjustment without getting the tension checked. The Krikit II tension gauge is very inexpensive and easy to use. A lot cheaper than a new belt or wheel...

I am a bit surprised. Tension and tracking are 2 sides of the same coin. One always affects the other. With the price of a Krikit II to check tension, I'm not sure why you would take this approach.

You have a very special wife... :thumbup:

I've got a million Lamont stories. I loved following him around just to see what would happen. Something always did...

I think the problem will be quite evident once they get into the CVT. I doubt the tech will have much trouble finding the cause.

AHHH! Too Bad! What's a little torque between friends?

Lamont's Boss Hoss had do much torque it would stand the bike up off the kickstand when he remote started it. And the kickstand had it leaned...

You're lucky to get much over 110 mph. The windshield makes a BIG difference. I went from almost no windshield to a small one on my 2008 GS and lost over 10mph top speed. Extrapolate this to the barn...

Any of the options offered will do you fine. You're probably wasting your money to change oil sooner than 3,000 miles. But if it makes you feel better, the cost may be worth it.

I must admit. I don't think I could do it. If someone told me I couldn't run wide open. I don't think I'd own a motorcycle.
