    Those new fenders do look cool. Might have to see about retrofitting when I finally get my divorce paid off.:gaah:

    Same problem

    Probably is some other issue, but I didn't have a whole lot of luck with that bulb either. Too much vibration for the bulb filament to last very long. Recommend trying to mod to LED light or I've...

    Thought of this the first time it happened, so have paid more attention. Don't do anything different between the times it does oscillate and the times it doesn't. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Lemon Law may not apply.

    In some places the Lemon Law only applies if it is the same component/system that keeps failing. He might have a case with the transmission, but even then, some states require it to be the exact same...
  13. Bike "swerving" with high speed acceleration.

    I have searched this forum for a bit and couldn't find anything about this issue I'm having. When I am above 60mph, drop into 4th to pass someone, and roll on the throttle quickly, my '08 Spyder...

    Stock Muffler Gasket?

    Has anyone found a "replacement" gasket for the stock muffler install? Or am I going to have to go through BRP? I went searching through old threads and didn't see anything.

    Thanx.

    Thanks for the info.

    Probably didn't look in the right place, but I couldn't find that when I was replacing my tires and was contemplating Ride On or just balance it and deal with the weights.

    TX's lemon laws extend to motorcycles.

    Just Google "TX lemon laws" and it will get you to the requirements needed to try and lemon law it. Good luck, I think mine is out of the initial mileage limits.

    Mine was mid way between "full" and "min" (or whatever they are marked), but after top off, no more fail messages. Evidently at that level, under hard braking or cornering, the fluid sloshes and...
