Thank you.
In theory, that placard should be the most current spec at time of delivery, to obtain acceptable advertised performance AND compliance of environmental emissions specs for the date of...

Thank you.

Focusing on your words referencing BajaRon mentioning the computer making the adjustments based on fuel octane, that becomes a slippery slope regarding modern performance engines.
In simple terms,...
Certainly. You requested to another person that posted a reply, that they provide data showing performance validating the higher octane be used.
My opinion is, if someone endorses, with their...
Not near our Spyder. Curious, the placard under the seat, does it have the octane spec on it?
I do agree that utilizing a cover, while trailering a Spyder, can be concerning in regards to paint or windscreen damage.
From experience, we bought several BRP brand covers. One is the RT622...
Mike, for many years, I have read your replies and reasoning in regards to using 87 octane fuel, regardless that the manufacturer, whether determined by Rotax, the engine designer and manufacturer,...
Actually, it is a real Rickman Yamaha. One of 39 chassis built. Best we determined, pretty rare with only 6 of the 39 left.
Imported by Steens in Alhambra CA back then.
Many owners are happy with their purchase.
Many owners are disappointed with their purchase, especially with a couple years of ownership.
Some folks love and praise their dealer, while many folks...
Shorai LiFePo4, pretty sure that is the element makeup. Installed in our 2014 RTS. So far very impressed with the performance.
Starts with more authority than any of the Yuasa batteries I have...
Consider, a proper way to hold the grips, especially the throttle is to grab the grip similar to a door knob or screwdriver and twist.
Many, many riders tend to hold the grip more straight, and...
Kind of depends. If not releasing belt tension via the adjusters, then yes, folks will disconnect the ride height position sensor. Then removing the lower shock bolt, move the rear suspension...
R6Roadracer, as you learned, Spyders, whether RT series or F3 series, any of the earlier models, even the Rykers, none are race machines, or even what should be considered a race on Sunday sell on...
Not exactly, as others have done the lead to lithium battery swap long before me.
Merely got frustrated with Yuasa replacement having a less than stellar life span.
If I did stay with lead based...
Measuring ride height based off shock length as you discovered can be challenging to measure.
The benefit of using that method is in understanding the suspension points are symmetric and does a...
Simply to clarify, OP says 2015 F3 with a 1330 powerplant, so no spark plug wires. COP style ignition.
Gave up on lead based batteries in the Spyder.
Ours now has a Shorai brand lithium type, like LiFe4 or something like that. Works absolutely fabulous in our 2014 RTS.
Removing front shocks is less drama on a 2014 RT series vs the newer style RT series in my opinion.
As for removing springs, and reinstalling with preload adjusters, it can be a bit attentive...
While I do hope you resolved the issue, do not be surprised if it returns.
Recently had odd temp fluctuations, then no issues, then odd temps again several times on our 14 RTS.
Several folks...
At a guess, your front drive pulley is having issues with worn splines.
To clarify the logic.
Jacking under the shock bolt, on the shocks lower eyelet is a fraction of the stress into the bolt than when riding. Sitting static on the ground, the rear shock lower bolt,...
My bad for believing that your PA motorcycle permit held similar status as here in Florida.
All the best with your tests and getting whatever endorsement it is you desire.
The topic and replies seem a bit confusing.
Seems the person that created the topic stated he already has a motorcycle license endorsement for PA.
Does PA. require a three wheel endorsement...
Few things, removing the thermostat from the 1330 water pump assembly is a risky pain. The thermostat retainer spigot is also plastic and snaps in place.
Inside the water pump, the thermostat is...
Simple follow up. Brand new oem water pump / thermostat assembly arrived today.
Installed the waterpump onto the engine. Hoses connected. Serviced the coolant with the same batch I recently...
Regarding the thermostat, essentially, it should be considered not removable. Yes, I did remove it, without damage to the housing parts and such, but it was not intended to be removed.
My...
Simply a FWIW, photos of the oem bolts without thread lock compound, bypass style thermostat, metal crush sleeves in thermoplastic water pump housing and thermostat area of the water pump housing. ...
Reviving an older topic in an effort to clarify a few details.
As insight, our 2014 RTS SE6, began having temp fluctuations while idling. Fans operated normal. Then other times, all would be...
Just FWIW, there is no shortcoming of talented Spyder techs on some of the FB groups. Believe the one group has 5 now independent techs, several that are factory trained and formerly were employed...
I tend to agree with the comment posted by Jdr00ejr that the poll, posted here, is a bit biased.
Would be interesting to compare results of the same worded poll on several of the FB groups.

Most times too, when fixing aluminum engine cases on motorcycles, we must use a propane torch or high temp heat gun and get the area hot, then wash with brake cleaner.
Typically it takes about 6...
