Thank you Joe!
So, I just finished up installing Lamonster's LED headlights and fog lights into my 2014 Spyder RTS. While looking for a tiny torx head socket in my front I found this item. I have no idea from where...
speaking of replacing the race, does anybody know the number for the race in these bearings? I did get the timken bearings from Napa but it is just the cone bearing alone without the cup or race...
There is a video somewhere wherein the mechanic explains that the easiest way to adjust the belt is with the tire constantly spinning with the weight of the spyder on it as in being on a "treadmill"....
Pegasus and Cpt. thank you very much. The manual I have shows them. I've heard folks talk about how hard they were to get to. But, I'll be darned if I could see them. It was driving me crazy. So, no...
So, I read in post on here that the grease fittings on the front upper and lower A-arms are hard to get to and may need special fittings on the grease gun. To make a long story short, I have two of...
I plan to just keep my trailer attached to the Spyder. Just need to keep the rear from sliding/bouncing around. I like your idea with the ball at the front of your trailer....pretty neat! I'm not a...
So, a few years ago I wanted to trailer my Cognac 2014 RT-S SE6. I sent for the "Superclamp" set up in plenty of time to get it and install it on my 18' drop tail flatbed car trailer. It didn't...
I just had to put another belt on my Spyder and am going through alignment hell right now. Aligned perfectly in the air, but once on the ground and ridden, it's all the way to the left side of the...
know if this is going to bother you as you ride. There is no reason to replace the belt except for your peace of mind. I would not worry about the stone either. At some point, may have noticed a...
If you want to know how I REALLY feel....just search for my survey post!
I think it is Doc Humphreys who manufactures a device that sits between the airbag and metal ledge to keep stones out from under the bag. Supposed to be raining here for the next week or two so, I'm...
It a common problem with these bikes. Mine wore a hole in it too. If you pump it up tight and a stone happens to sit on the bottom ledge on which the airbag sits and then you let some air out, it...
....I found one miscalculation..... a car tire would have to handle 1/4 of the 3600# car with the pressure indicated somewhere on the car (gas filler lid/drivers door). ...just being picky but I...
Knight, would you still recommend 21 PSI if I generally ride 2 up and near the max weight limit.....and occasionally pulling a 622 trailer? Running the Khumo tire on the back.
...in the Hanover, PA area either! Wanted a fortune to even BALANCE a rear wheel with a tire they didn't install. Told them no thanks... Ride-On was cheaper, works better, and provides a little extra...
If the stone is not big enough, it could be captured by the belt fibers and not push all the way through. You can't see it from the "inside" of the belt (teeth side) because the belt tries to "heal"...
I see yours is a 2011. I did a "non-scientific" survey a few months back. Less than a handful of folks had no issues with their Spyder. The overwhelming winner was the 2013 models. I have a 2014 that...
They'll both be worn out eventually! Then, you can tell us which one you liked best!:ohyea:
....the trivial stuff listed just to see better reliability in the stuff my 2014 RT-S already has.
1- Rear tires that last as long at the fronts
2-Get the quirks out of the existing computer...
....I would say nothing there disqualifies you from submitting a "positive" review...AND I see it's a 2014. Of course folks don't list their necessary repairs so, I'll put you down as a maybe.
You...
Now....the REST of the story....
So, you know these machines attract attention and spark conversations with strangers. Like most here, I get the inappropriate question of "how much was it?"....
Interesting....again...YOU have a 2013. I'm seeing a pattern here.....in 2014 the machine went to $#!T...
I hate those BRP stickers too!! Made that same "mod" on my machine too!
Having the ISCI brake on my 2014 RT the moment I picked it up from the dealer (therefore is was dealer installed and wrapped in the purchase deal) was a requirement for me. Due to back issues, I have...
If you have upgraded your bike or were not happy with the longevity of something I do NOT want a post! I'm looking for the folks who have had no issues with their Spyders.
It seems to me that the...
Folks got it wrong....I DON'T want to hear the negatives!!!! I want to hear from folks WITHOUT any issues!!!
This whole forum is FULL of negatives. I'm looking for the good ones.
No fishing. I just see so many similar problems on here. These are not cheap machines and yet nothing seems to improve unless owners spend MORE money and upgrade things. I'm just trying to see how...
My post said if you had problems....I DO NOT want to hear about it. I am looking ONLY for the GOOD ones!! I don't know how many have read it but I count 3-1/2 owners who are completely happy with...
The distinction I'm seeking is did you add things because you "wanted to do so" OR because you wanted to have it ride or handle better or last longer between failures? I "wanted" to add a cup holder....
