Thanks for the info. I recently bought a GPS and want a 12V outlet for it. $150 for the dealer to install it seems like a lot, but now it is looking like a reasonable deal. Next time it is in for...

Thanks for the info. I recently bought a GPS and want a 12V outlet for it. $150 for the dealer to install it seems like a lot, but now it is looking like a reasonable deal. Next time it is in for...
I had the same experience at first. I rode two wheelers for about 35 years. Part of the learning curve was to gain confidence in how stable the Spyder really is and learn how far you can go without...
I see you got a beautiful Metallic Circuit Yellow one, like mine. I went for VISIBILITY, and added the optional fog lights which are on all the time. I want to be SEEN!
For a while they were not releasing the ST-S from the factory because they were addressing the recall for the lower ball joints. There were some shipment delays because of that. I would think by...
I follwed the suggestions and read the Do's/Don'ts. Very informative. Whatever the "helicopter" sound was, it is gone now, so no worries. Took a 150 mile ride yesterday on a mix of curvy and...
I just went on a nice 150 mile ride yesterday on my ST-S SE5. I love the cruise control! I now have 1,300 miles on my bike and had the lower balljoint replacement and now it steers very nicely. I...
I have 1,200 miles on my ST-S SE5 at this point. Just had the lower ball joint recall done and the handling is pretty darned good now. I like the upright seating and the taller windshield, as well...
Thanks for the tips. In my conversation with the Dealer's Service yesterday afternoon, I was advised to rev the bike higher. I know it produces the best power around 7,000 RPM, but it just seemed...
When I picked up my bike, the dealer had tried to fix a sticky latch and managed to crack the lid for about 9 inches down the middle. They replaced it for free, of course, at break-in service...but...
Just got my ST-S back from the dealer after installing replacement lower ball joints, and was very pleased at the improvement in the handling. Almost all of the "twitchiness" is gone now. I have...
I believe there are only two official dealers now in Oregon. SK Northwest in Portland and one in Medford. I know for a fact that the one on Portland Road in Salem went out of business about a year...
I agree about the Recall. It is for the lower ball joints. I just did my first service and the Service Manager asked me to phone them in about three weeks, when they expect to have the new parts...
I just had my first service on my ST-S last Friday. The Service Manager told me there is a Recall on the lower ball joints of the ST-S and the parts are just getting out to the dealers. He thought...
I carry a neat little set of jumper cables called "The Bitty Booster Cable" by Northeastern. You can probably Google a source for them. They come in a neat little 7 inch diameter bag that is about...
The type I ended up installing came from a place called "www.Metrorestyling.com" and it looks like their phone number is 888-488-4695. you get a roll that is about 18 inches wide and maybe 40 inches...
I have about 1,000 miles on my ST-S. I have had the bike die for no apparent reason twice. Once in my driveway, while I was opening the garage door at the end of a ride, and once at a stop sign two...
I was looking at the vertical flat pieces of the nose of my new Circuit Yellow Metallic ST-S and thinking "rock chips"! I checked out the Internet for sources of vinyl "carbon fiber", thinking it...
I just had my ST-S break-in service two days ago. While I was there, the Service Manager told me that I should call him in three weeks because there is a re-call for the lower ball joints and...
I will be going in for my first service next Friday. Thanks for your postings about alignment and air pressure. I transitioned from a two wheeled bike and I suspect some of the steering issues I...
I just measured my ST-S stock windshield and it is 20 inches from the top to one of the points at the bottom. I am 5/10 and look over the top of it, which I prefer, because that way I can see just...
Nine out of ten Audiologists and hearing aid salesmen approve of loud pipes. The other one was a Harley rider and when asked the question, kept saying "What?" and "Huh?" OK, I will admit that if...
Iuse the same technique of flooding the windshield with water to remove most of any grit, and then wet clean towels to soak off the bugs. Then when the windshield is pretty clean, use S100 or...
I always wear my full-face modular. It is really convenient to flip up at the gas station or at slow speeds when it is hot, and yet provides good protection. I had a silvered shield for it, but...
I just raised the garage door and also turned on the lights to examine the paint job on my Circuit Yellow RS-S. No evidence of green primer showing on mine. Looks like a good paint job. Just a...
I looked at the two vertical panels on the nose of my yellow ST-S and began wondering about rock chips. So I found some vinyl that looks like carbon fiber to apply there, both to look good and to...
I have just 650 miles on my ST-S SE5. Two times ago, when I arrived home, as I was sitting in the driveway waiting for the garage door to rise, it suddenly stalled. I worried it might be a problem...
