Over 35,000 2010 RT-S SM5 and no clutch issues.

2010 RT-S SM5 around 32,000 miles.

Bone Crusher,
I would not say that I ride conservatively, but I don't spend a lot of time on the interstates. I shift at a little above 4000 most of the time and ride a lot of secondary roads or...

My record as far as gallons put in is 6.136, I have a picture of it, the distance traveled 221 miles.
I had my throttle body replaced at Spyderfest III, since my fuel mileage has gone up by 2 mpg. ...

Lamont had added a second battery, here is the link to his info.

Scotty,
Smells are linked to memory more than any other sensory. I remember going back to Great Lakes (Navy) for my sons graduation and the one thing that brought back memories of my time there was...

Got mine about a week ago, but wanted to wait to post till after I had a few days with them. I chose not to use the sticky and to just wrap them around and Velcro. Once you stretch them around and...

I love them, they keep me cooler in summer and warmer in winter, I am a year round rider. No change in fuel mileage.

One other thing to check, I was getting a clunk when I got on the bike and rocked from side to side when I started looking I found the tie point for the anti-sway bar on the left side was loose. ...

Unless something changed with the 2012 model, you have to disconnect both for them to show up on the display. Disconnecting one of them will not work.

MMcc,
Funny you mention the TB work at Cowtown and mileage going up. I too had my TB replaced and I assume a firmware update while there (2010 RT-S) and my mileage went up at least 2 mpg. I had my...

In the bottom picture you can see the left tire is flat and may have been caused be the bike going sharp sideways and breaking the bead on the tire.

Same difference, I just like to shut it off and restart and run for 30 seconds, also don't want to fume up the garage while I get my stuff together and remove the panel. Now when I have ridden long...

Only good way to check the oil is to ride it to get to temperature. Personally if I came off a long ride, I will let it sit for a few minutes then start it let it run for 30 seconds and then quickly...

When getting up to operating temperature, did you ride it around or did you just let it idle up to temperature? It really needs to be ridden to get to "operating temperature", idling is not the best...

I've had mine on for 2 years and over 33,000 miles. I cleaned the caliper thoroughly with alcohol (thats all), stuck them on and let sit overnight before riding it. I have been through rain storms,...

Happy Birthday Seth!
Thanks once again for your kindness at Spyderfest, it has not been forgotten!

This is what one SL did with his saddlebag lids, but you could do something similar with the bag...

Did you actually get it to start by putting the coded key closer to the blank and if so how close did you have to get it? I would also be interested to know if it did start did it remain running...

I had around 31,000 miles on mine when it started. Happened a several times prior to leaving for Cuba, the first and only thing I did to temporarily cure was to do the key on/off method. The wife...

Another option is to drive and ride. I figure it would be approximately 3400 miles round trip from your location. If you could get an average of 17 mpg combined between the two vehicles with fuel...

One of the benefits of these armrest is that the passenger can easily access the hand grips when going around corners. They can swing in and out allowing the passenger to change arm position from...

Scooterexpress,
Can you post a video w/sound of your exhaust with the baffle removed? I have been trying to make up my mind between the Yoshimura and the Two Brothers, but have not heard the...

I used to take off the lower wind deflectors during the summer months (2010 RT-S), but since I got the Baker Air Wings (definitely a must get) I no longer do so. The Air Wings are in my top 5 list...

The missus and I enjoyed meeting all. Thanks to Wacky Dan for organizing and taking the lead. We definitely need to arrange another one!

Mileage is not the reason why I switched to a passenger tire, as I have posted before the single biggest improvement with handling that I have made was when I changed from the Kenda to a passenger...

On mine, not from Cowtown, I see around 60psi cold idle, 20 - 30 warm/hot idle, 60ish rural highway, 70ish interstate speeds.

The wife and I will be there.

The picture is of a RS frunk liner and the description is for a RT frunk liner. Just email the seller and ask if they are using a stock picture of the RS liner, but selling the RT liner or is the...
