    Yes, you're correct. I did ask them to check the fluid levels... since they're the ones who put the Engine Ice (propylene glycol) in for me on both of my Spyders. Yes, it is the case. The paperwork...

    Well, no. Ethylene glycol is not the same as propylene glycol. I'm not talking about mixing the orange with the green, both propylene glycol. Engine Ice is an ethylene glycol product and is better at...

    I averaged about 36 MPG on my 2012 RT-S SE5 998 V-Twin (incl hwy), and now about the same on my 2015 RT LTD SE6 1330 3 in-line ACE. Never understood how anyone could get 46 MPG. Ever. Used to use 93...

    Wow! Sorry to hear this. You are the exceptional exception. First time I've heard something like this in the 5 years I've owned Spyders and been a member here. Why don't you get them to take it back...
  11. Installed new belt tensioner/vibration damper

    I was one of those who had no real bad vibration on my 2015 RT like I did on my 2012 and thought maybe they did something about it at BRP. Well, even if they did I have to agree with those who said...

    Really none, if you mean forward and back horizontally. Only tilt, which doesn't help me much since where it enters the seat still pushes me too far forward. My position on the seat is too far...

    Bought my then new 2012 RT-S SE5 for $27,000 here in NC. Traded it in (that's TRADED, not retail sale) 3 years later in 2015 for a value of $17,500 with nearly 15K miles on it.

    So how come when my 590 was new I could put mp3's on it and play them via the Spyders speakers? After all, the 590 cradle has the connections for it. NOW, however, I can't get it to play.
