Honestly, there are some more fun routes vs taking the Fla TP to Kissimee. Kind of adds fun to the trip.

According to Shells brochure, 10w40 is not offered, but 5w40 and 15w40 is.

I hope you are referring to Mobil 1 10w40 motorcycle oil only. The automotive oil, while good, is great for your Spyders engine, but not the clutch.

Our Spyder has had Mobil 1 10w40 motorcycle...

As a start, I would research if 540rat has tested the oil. If he has, how did it compare to other motorcycle oils of the same viscosity?

For our Spyder, not that it goes to the shop, only been there for a couple warranty items, I have at least three, possibly five dealers within 40 miles of home.
Regardless, I drove 155 miles each...

Chipveres, not busting your butt, simply, Florida is a pretty long state, North to South. Also has reasonable distance East to West.

Additionally, besides maybe a hint of your location, are you...

Been reading the posts on this topic every now and then.
Our 2014 RTS does not have anything more than the old school Speedometer, Tachometer, Fuel Gage, and Water Temp. For navigation, it is a...

Seems Mr Happyspyder, you might try to find a wider audience.

I know when we bought our RT622 in pearl white, the comments we got were not from Spyder owners. Folks with classic cars decided it...

While many run and like Shell Rotella T6 I still remain a fan of the Mobil 10W40 Racing 4t motorcycle oil.

For comparison, Mobil 1 10W40 Racing 4t motorcycle oil is currently ranking at #136,...

Davos, you recently made a topic in regards to belt adjustment, with Spyder jacked and rear wheel spinning while engine idled.

Please clarify the process you are utilizing.

If setting tension...

Bring a tire gauge and verify the tire pressure is correct. Other than that, give a walk around looking for damage.

Have the dealer show you that the electronic display and all the apps work...

Exactly what I tried previously and the result I had hoped for. Unfortunately, results were never great. Glad it works for you folks in your shop.

On race bikes, actually all the two wheel toys,...

As already mentioned, you will trip fault light and code. This goes away on its own during a short ride.

My own experience, in the past I have tried to accomplish belt adjustments with the Spyder...

Could purchase a brand new gear. Model it in a CAD program, then 3D print them in steel.

Simply an idea.

Sorry to have confused you, my focus was towards the 1330 not having enough power to spin 8100 revs in 6th gear. But you are correct, the engineers provided, and Can Am delivered a speed limited...

Ironically, it is a bit north of 100mph.

Besides the aero issues, these engines really drop power due to higher ambient temps, and humidity.
Yes, I know this from experience, based on making the...

As can be read, opinions here are wide and varied.

Like many, but not all, these 1330 setups utilize a shared oil system. The engine oil is also the oil for the wet clutch and gearbox. Because...

Grew up racing motocross, so a pinned throttle happens, when it happens.

Learned long ago Spyders are not race bikes, but are fine riding two up with the wife.

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting a failed spark plug insulator damaging the #2 cylinder. Seems a possibility, but thought the owner indicated the spark plug was intact, but dark...

For folks with fuel concerns on their oil samples, you might consider that if the Spyder has a remapped ignition, that could be a source.

Greater power output requires more fuel to make the power,...

Interesting the brakes fit that tightly.

If mechanically the work was done correctly, and the brake system in not restricting return fluid, the question then becomes what brand brake pads did you...

I certainly hope you find any easy inexpensive resolution.

My concern with the issue, is it seems focused on one cylinder. If the engine were pumping oil into the case vent it should affect all...

You think your issue with Apple Car Play is important, take a history lesson about Spyders. Research failed vacuum hoses, DESS failures, Kenda Tires, failed front pulleys, failed left side shift...

Not a NOCO, but installed a Shorai in our Spyder. Nearby friend, he installed the NOCO.

Wanted to add though, your battery failures may also be related to a failed alternator clutch. Last year I...

Just be certain to accomplish any and all checks if the instructions specify so. Even though there should be no compatibility concerns, voltage checks should be done, especially on older with the...

Just curious, based on the join dates of the accounts that were addressed, it appears the hacker did get in and started grabbing profiles of existing members.

While no mention was made that the dealer had these loosened or removed, very possibly they were during damage repairs.

Consider though, even if torqued 100% correct during assembly, between...

Yes, before posting my previous replies, I considered the same.

This is the third different Spyder in the past few months, with a failed #2 cylinder issue. Granted three does not take down the...

Nearby you have Central Florida Powersports, Seminole Powersports, and Route 1 on the east coast.

As for The Villages, been there many times for cycling events. Sure has grown to be huge and now...

Lube it up and let it rip.
