Oh yeah, I know AR, I live in Sebring FL, and I want to make a trip to his Greenville just see what needs done on my 2020 RTL. I'm sure there's something I can't live without. I have a friend from...
Ron, I think your comment says it all. I see the Spyder a complicated piece of equipment, and I'm not even a mechanic. Just thinking about getting the Tupperware off gives me pause. But my 2020...
Overall, BRP has a good product with the Spyder, it's too bad they don't exercise more control over the dealers and the tech's. But then that's probably a problem with most of the motorcycle brands....
Ron, are you using 10/40 Synthetic, if so, what brand?
Oh yes, why they dumped the 10/40 is none of my business, but I continue to look for another brand I suppose, which might be Mobil One.. I had a wild thought of half T6 Rotella 5/40 and half T6...
True that, from Sebring a fun trip can be had.
Wow, a serious day trip to get there early and get it done. Worth every mile if you trust your dealer and the Spyder mechanic.
Ron, you talk I listen. Mobil One is all I can find in the full synthetic 10/40, is that what you are using?
Wheer are you finding Rotella T6 10/40? I'd love to use it but I can't find it.
You are so right PMK, I live in FL, and it's 40 miles to my nearest dealer I avoid going there if possible, not because it's bad, but because it's a day out of my life just sitting around doing...
Anyone using Castrol Actevo 4T 10W/40? It is a blend, and MA/MA2 rated with a motorcycle shown on the front of the container. It is what I'm looking for and the weight specified in the Owner's...
Rotella T6 5/40, I've not been able to find 10/40 or I would use it. I've often wondered if Rotella T5 blend 5/40 would be OK but haven't tried it. If I'm gonna get up under there and go through...
Installed a show chrome shock under my seat, finally! Hallelujah! One OEM BRP replacement by the dealer, it failed; so I got the Show Chrome; & I now have access to my fuel filler. Wow, what a...
I am totally amazed at BRPs ability to build the Spyder with parts that just seem to last forever, and then there are seat and rear trunk OEM shocks that are just plain trash.
Thanks Ron, gives me confidence, but then, I'm not a hard rider. The 20 RTL is perfect for me.
Minor problem, it awaits in the garage for me to climb up under to release the clip that holds the...
Sadly 2dogs what you post is true. I keep saying I sure like my 2020 RTL, on the long ride I always have that uneasy feeling this thing is gonna crap out on me a long way from nowhere but that can...
Well said 2dogs. One would think BRP would get the message, they don't. They sell enough without getting the message.
Wow, a whole month, enjoy the journey. My rack does a good job on a week, or more, getaway for the two of us I have a rain proof bag I usually put light items in, like clothes. Just a quick bungie...
Sure nuff Jim, it works for me every time.
Finally broke down and ordered the seat shock from SpringMods. Ordered springs to go on the cheap and alll I did was cause myself a lot of grief trying to make it work. I'm sure it must work for...
I have found it much less stress to give up on BRP Connect and the radio function. To be clear, I love my RTL, but these items I really don't need. jus sayin.
Thanks PW, I think this what I'm looking for. I've been fussing around with this problem for a while now spending a few $ here and there and getting springs that don't work, and don't fit. Not...
Good information SpyderC. Here's the thing, some of us have reached that point in that it has become difficult to do the routine maintenance, you know, oil and filter change, even air in the rear...
Perfect Peter, many thanks.
Well, I need to check this out since mine is a 2020 RTL. Shooter, can you be specific on the Amazon spring that fits, I did a search and couldn't find it.
I ride an hour to get to Sky Power, I like the writer there, but man, you need to check constantly if your Spyder is ready, or you will sit in the separate bldg motorcycle sales forever. Obviously,...
Thanks gentlemen, whoops, not sure how I missed that.
Danzguy, what Spyder do you have year, mod? I have a 2020 RTL, want to know if the springs you got from Amazon will fit my strut.
Right Bob, that was my interpretation, quite impressive. I do read the oil threads right on through the pop corn people.
Safe Cracker, that spring idea sounds very interesting, can you be more specific, like spring size, how the install goes, maybe a pic? Thanks.
