    Very...

    The Spyder is very electronic sensitive. It is important to get tried and true electrical components if you don't want your computer throwing codes or worse.

    I know back in the day that 3 wheels were only considered as a last ditch option for those who could no longer ride 2 wheels. But the Spyder is way beyond this. It's a splendid ride in its own...

    Nothing wrong with that. Afterall, the manufactures need someone to sell all this black stuff to! :rolleyes:
  4. Are you sure your tires are round? Mine weren't...

    Are you sure your tires are round? Mine weren't (still aren't). And 25 is too much in the front. I recommend trying 18-20 in the front and 24-26 in the rear. They aren't going to fall off and it...

    It's not the oil then. How many miles do you have on that Spyder, did you buy it new? I'll be surprised if you find the belt is the cause. But won't hurt to check.

    I like chrome. The guys at the shop tell me Chrome is Old School. I tell them that everything runs in cycles and comes back around (though I hope purple hair isn't in that loop). Chrome will be back...

    Wearing out a transmission with engine braking is a myth.

    I've been riding and wrenching on mine and others bikes since 1969. I've replaced a great number of brake pads, shoes (for those who even...

    You purchased a 2-seater, light, quick, sports car vehicle. It won't ride like a Lexus or Cadillac. You'll need to be on one of the larger, heavier, creature comfort models for a cushier ride.
  9. If you are noticing clutch slippage, it's too...

    If you are noticing clutch slippage, it's too much. If you're using the correct lubricant, then you may need a clutch replacement. Running at too low RPM is the most common reason for clutch slippage...

    You say 'Won't retract' Does that mean it won't turn at all? Or that it just spins and spins but doesn't move inward?

    We all have people in our lives that forever change the direction of our future. It isn't usually evident at the time the crossroad is chosen. Or even that it is a crossroad at all.

    I am praying...

    Ahhh... Spring and the smell of wrenches, lube, and farlkes in the air!
  13. There just isn't enough information to make a...

    There just isn't enough information to make a determination on this one. I have thrown some suggestions out there. But it will be very interesting to find out what the final solution is. This is a...
  14. You don't need to put the tire anywhere in...

    You don't need to put the tire anywhere in relationship to the belt. I don't understand all the advise about a 215. The tire width is not the issue here. Even a 235 width tire should give you...

    Sounds like the engine might be lugging. A common problem with the 998. Should try to keep it at or above 3,500 RPM at shift and 4,500 running rpm.
  16. The sidewall only bulges where the tread contacts...

    The sidewall only bulges where the tread contacts the road. It isn't going to bulge at the belt. That tire should have 1/2" clearance to the belt.
  17. I always ask this question. How many miles have...

    I always ask this question. How many miles have you ridden your Spyder? This is sometimes the key to satisfaction.
  18. Not possible unless the wheel spacer was left out...

    Not possible unless the wheel spacer was left out or the wheel is grossly misaligned. Something is very wrong with that install. 225 is the OEM tire width so you're running the stock width tire. You...
  19. I get the question all the time. "Do I need the...

    I get the question all the time. "Do I need the BajaRon Sway Bar?" And the answer, of course, is no, you don't need it. The Spyder comes from the factory with a sway bar and your Spyder will go...

    I suppose you're right. There are still a few of us left! Every one we can convert is a victory!:thumbup:

    Sorry, blew by your post! Always in too much of a hurry I guess!

    Did you ever get them to smooth out? If they were out-of-round, a product like Ride-On can actually make it worse.

    He is right that the M/C formula is less viscous (more liquid) than the auto...

    Do you want the 205/60R 15? We can get you either one. Tire Rack should have them too. But don't tell them you're putting it on the back of a Spyder. They probably won't sell it to you if you do.

    Bless you my son!



    Guilty as charged! A creature of habit, (and lost causes) I suppose... I think "A Rose By Any Other Name" may apply here.
  25. Bless you my son!:rolleyes:

    Bless you my son!:rolleyes:
  26. Actually, you can't because the belt tensioners...

    Actually, you can't because the belt tensioners on the Spyder don't have rollers. You can, however, replace the rollers on a belt dampener! Sorry, just a pet peeve that I know I'll never win. Nothing...

    Did he give you a reason why? I've talked to them as well and I could never get them to explain why or give any reason at all that a car tire should get a motorcycle tire product. They just kept...

    I've used both the Car and Motorcycle Ride-On in all 3 tires. I much prefer the Car version for balancing. I'm told the Car version is not quite as good at sealing as the motorcycle version. But I...

    Yes, one of the first Red Flags that you're being scammed is the seller wanting to use a payment method where there is no possibility of recovering your money. Using a credit card with a payment site...
