Just to be fair to BRP I'll relate my story of their customer service. About noon on a Friday I pulled into a dealership in western NY. (I live in VT and was nearing the end of a 2-week road trip)...
I just checked the belt wear on my Ski-Doo Renegade with the Ace 900 engine. A new belt is 1.468" wide, and my belt, after 4,667 miles is 1.463" wide, so it has worn down just .005" in over 4,600...
On newer Spyders you can press the mode button almost immediately after turning the key and it will start.
25 and snowing here on the VT/QC border. If I ride today it will be on the sled, not the Spyder. Have to plow the driveway firth though.
Didn't notice this mentioned in other posts, but you might consider adding passenger arm rest. Helps a great deal in providing lateral support for the passenger. Although my wife isn't sight...
I took a plastic food storage container (similar to Tupperware), cut it in half and painted it black. Used a container that is just a bit wider than the GPS. I have a RAM mount and mounted the...
Still riding my V-Strom 650 solo, Spyder 2-up.
My 2017 RT manual says the following:
"Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by
U.S. EPA Regulations"
In May my wife and I went to our dealer on our 2012 RT-S (37,000 miles) to get her a new set of rain pants, and we came home with a 2017 champagne RT-S. My wife has an expensive pair of rain pants,...
Thanks for this tip. I tried it with just the ignition on, engine not running, and it seems to work.
Thanks for the offer, but at this point I think I will just live with it and go through the drill each time I use the trailer, which will only be a couple times each year.
That is just clumsy typing. It is a 2017 RT-S. The wiring module was installed by my dealer (Walt's Sales and Service in Derby, VT) It only plugs in one way. It came from Spyder Accessories...
The trailer is a TowBlazer. I have Pierre's trailer hitch and wiring harness.
When I first hooked my trailer to my 1027 RT S I experienced hyperflash when using the turn signal. I followed Lamont's video to stop this, and all went well. When I disconnected the trailer,...
You guys will have to come back, you missed the best view of Lake Memphremagog. From where you got gas, at the ShortStop on the Derby Rd., head toward Newport, then turn right onto Shattuck Hill Rd....
My wife and I use Sena SMH10 headsets for communication and to listen to music from our Android phones. Our headsets are paired to each other for intercom communication and that works well. We like...
No laser alignment dealers shown in CT. Try Flamingo Motorsports in Palmer, MA, Netzly Tire in Accord, NY or Dutchess Recreation Vehices in Poughkeepsie.
If you need a dealer and want to stay with a stateside dealer, go to Walt's Sales and Service in Derby, VT, just 2 miles south of the Aut-55/I-91 border crossing in Derby Line, VT at 1972 Route 5,...
Or, if you are heading back through Vermont check with Walt's Sales and Service in Derby, VT, about 55 miles from Valcourt, and 1.5 miles south of the border crossing from Stanstead, QC to Derby...
I have the same problem with my helmet, so I mounted the camera to the upper wind deflector on the left side. I used ram a ram ball mount screwed to the wind deflector and a ram arm with their ball...
Wife and I will ride to Valcourt and back on Friday, then to Valcourt on Saturday before going to Drummondvile to spend the night. Anyone going up I-91/Aut 55 and interested in taking the more...
This looks like the harness Pierre supplies with his RT hitch. I just installed one. The only thing I can add is that I used a flat blade screwdriver to open the connector that is on the bike's...
I have Corbin and can't recommend them. Delivery time was excessive, installation instructions were inaccurate, and the reinforced screw holes in the arm rests did not match up with the screw...
Had the same problem with my 2012 RT-S SE5. I was 500 hundred miles from home at the time and the dealer I stopped at diagnosed it as a problem with the ECU and he tried to reflash it. This caused...
A friend of mine has had one like this for years that his wife made. She can read a map so it works really well. Only down side is that sometimes he forgets to take it off when he is off the bike...
Thanks to everyone on SL for the help. Guess I'll have to look for something else.
At the 2013 Spyderquest in Lake George, NY I met a fellow rider who had a trailer I was interested in. I wasn't in the market for a trailer at the time, but now I am and I would like to find out...
I have Corbin arm rests and am less than satisfied. Took a long time to receive them after I ordered them and the installation instructions were wrong. They say there are 2 screws in the trunk that...
My radio is rarely used. I can only hear it when going less than 50 mph. Living in a rural area where radio stations are spaced widely apart I find that I lose one station long before I can receive...
I've got two extra body panel screws in my glove box. Maybe next time I remove the tupperware I'll find where they belong.
