It took it 45 miles and a day to realize it saw brake pressure without any brake lights. The alarms were the next day when I was running it down to top the fuel up. I drove the 45 miles home...
Gee what exactly is the price to overcome the stock shocks inability to do the job they are supposed to do with these miracle after market shocks? Bill
Now to make it even more interesting the thing went into limp mode with more system failure lights than even I have ever seen while moving it around today! But as usual five minutes of sitting and...
I lost the switch on the rear brake light at about 10,000 miles on my 2010 RT. After the usual removal of 5 million shrouds and body pieces the Tech brought the part to me and showed me that the...
Below 5000 RPM 28 to 30 normal for my 2010 RT above 5000 RPM 25 to 28 this is on regular at $3.80 for a gallon. My buddies hopped up Harley gets 43 MPG and will run the RT into the ground. The hills...
Yeah mine is hiding in the garage too down here in the mountains of WV. I do take it for an occaisional run if the weather gets warm which happens at times. I run the trike at least once or twice a...
Might help the Canadian Economy but it doesn't help the balance of payments or the US economy too much! Bill

You know what Bob I have been listening to that since I bought the first Spyder almost 5...
Again Repeating what one smart person said Locking them should have no effect on them if the locking set up is misadjusted. So locking them which many people said they did to prevent it coming open...
That is the first person who made any sense when talking about set-up and checking toe-in on the trike in all the years I have been reading posts about alignment on three different boards!!! I...
I made a trip cross country from WV to Gold Beach, Oregon on my SR the year before last. I had called ahead to set up an oil change and when I got to the dealership the door was padlocked. No signs...
The RT is under sprung, under shocked, and has a softer bar than it needs to handle at all. I am 250 and 6'2" and it dam near bottomed out on bumps when I first got it. I have a 2010 model by the...
I put the radio antenna on with thread locker and thus far it has not come loose again. As someone said above all the complaints you are having are 2010 problems which were supposed to have been...
Generally 25 to 27 if I stay driving like a little old lady. Below 5,000 milage goes up, venture above it like on an interstate running the normal 70+ 24 or less. Pulling the trailer I am lucky to...
I'm 6'2" and 250 but I find the seat very comfortable? I have real long legs too! With the prices you guys are paying for custom seats would not just the available extended foot pegs cost lots less...
Ha Ha! Better yet just wear light cargo pants that are wash and wear, that is what they call them isn't it? Bill :clap:
Stone cold stock RT-S 2010 after 6,500 milesin a year I just got two straight tanks at barely 28 MPG which is the best I have seen so far. I run regular gas and have run the High Test with no...
Mine is a 2010 with about 7000 miles on it. It has happened maybe a half dozen times. The hitting the brake pedal turning it on is new to me? The last time I had it happen I was rearranging my legs...
I got less than that and it is flaking merrily off of my muffler too! So much for quality for the price huh? Bill
Because when they started out they had the legislative branch locked up and instead of repealing the ethanol standards they chose the healthcare fiasco instead. Is that hard to understand? Like Bush...
Nothing from BuRP yet and nothing from the dealer either. Give them a little more time and then I will try and see if they even know about it yet? Bill :sour:
5,000 RPM seems to be the magic number for me. I go about 250 and rarely ride two up and see a lot of curvy and mountanous roads here in WV. I have about 5,000 on my 2010 RT and find that people who...
That will come with more and better trained dealers that care and better product support and caring from BuRP!:thumbup: Bill
Yah know what I have never winter stored a vehicle in my entire life and I am 66 years old! I have run it about twice or once a month with any second vehicle including race cars for years with no...
Power and fuel milage on an RT is a catch 22 situation. If you stay below 5000 you get fair MPG and lack the power at times to climb hills. If you go above it the RT has fair power for the size of...
Factory trailer, the 622, works just great and carries just about anything I can think of putting in there. MPG with it sucks, like in the low 20's though. One thing the need or I need to make is...
Gee why would they do that? Could it be they actually admit to the Aprilla cruising with a 6 speed and 140 hp does actually get far better MPG? Nah do you think? He he! Bill :agree:
I had mine done at Good Times while on the rally. They had or had done 31 when I got mine done. With and oil change it took almost 5 hours and cost $192 and change. The difference was almost little...
We're a bunch of geezers! Over 50% are in the 60's! That is why we put our training wheels up front! :ohyea: Bill
