Update. I have now replaced OEM pads on 5 different Spyders with sintered pads from China. In every case the rotors were dull and if you ran your fingernail across the rotor surface you could feel...

Just acquired a 2009 RS with 30K miles for very little money. It's permanently in limp home due to ABS/VSS/EBD fault. Dealer claims ABS unit needs replacing. It has had front and rear brakes...
What's the difference between an SE5 V-twin drive belt and the 1330 SE6 drive belt? Are they a different length?
No-name brand pads from China. Before you say I'm crazy, be aware that most OEM bike and auto wear parts are made in China to OEM specs and are good quality. They choose to sell them direct for a...
I would agree but BRP don't manufacture pads and apparently, they use more than one manufacturer. I have never seen pads on any vehicle cause scoring like these nor have I seen so much metal in pad...
If there is any air in a braking system the pedal will "pump up". This wasn't happening. Also air in a system will not cause uneven braking as pressure, even inadequate, will be the same at each...
Recently purchased a 2014 RT-L with low K's and in brilliant condition. Rode it home on Forrest highway 130km and it sat true and straight all the way. I was thinking I had misjudged the Kendas....
Perfectly logical-thanks. Of course the engagement is going to be at slightly higher rpm to compensate for cold start cycle higher idle rpm.
Just acquired a 2014 RTL with 33K on the clock. Bike is excellent now after sorting brakes badly pulling to the right, fitting decat pipe, Akrapovic muffler, heavy sway bar and Kumho front tyres.Only...
make sure your park brake is adjusted properly as well. The park brake pushes directly onto the caliper piston. If you hold your foot on the brake while you engage park you will feel the brake pedal...
Does anyone know the procedure to set up the SE5 for dyno tuning. It appears on an SM5 disconnecting all the ABS sensors work but not possible on the SE5 as speed registration is required to change...
Clutch hub. Sits inside the clutch basket. Steel plates engage it and fibre plates engage basket.
Pretty sure the problem is heat. On any day but particularly a hot day after a run stick your finger in the fuel tank when its near full. It nearly burns. I find that while moving everything's fine...
We bought a 2010 RT-S SE5 privately just before christmas at 96,000km. Its an amazing bike and the couple of issues we've had are inconsequential. It had just had a full service including valve...
Well this is the culprit. All other clutch components are in good condition and within spec. Certainly unexpected.178511
I checked it - it's tight and secure.
I used to use body clips (push fasteners) on the tour-pak of my Harley when I took the rack off. They are cheap, look good and easy to remove if you want to use the rack again. Auto parts and...
bike stopped driving yesterday. Riding on the freeway at 110kph suddenly post all power. coasted to a stop and no more forward motion. Still finds first and reverse but no clunk and no motion. I can...
