    I really can't find a reason to use BRP Connect. Yes, it "integrates" Rever, for instance, but you can't DO anything with it. You can't use it to guide you on a preplanned route, you can't get...

    Oh, how I wish this were true. I learned that Audi made a 3-cylinder turbocharged 1.2L TDI engine and I think it would make a fantastic powerplant for the Spyder RTL. They'd have to beef up the...

    1K miles sounds too short. It takes 700 miles just to get from New Braunfels to Moriarity. I'm heading there for Memorial Day and plan to do some riding in the mountains in NM. But day trips for...

    But not TOO full! If they're too full you may get a brake failure indication (brake icon with ! light during driving). How do I know these things? My Spyder came topped up -- ALL the way up -- and...

    But lightly used I got it for $3800. It just depends on luck and availability.

    There are several folding trailer designs. I found a lightly used 6x10 aluminum Apogee Adapt-X trailer that's perfect for my RTL. It folds up to a 3 foot width, so the Stinger may be a little more...

    Well, one reason might be the propensity of Spyders to overheat as they are. Here in central Texas our summer temps are often over 100º which really stresses the cooling system of a Spyder. ...

    NOT the same thing.

    The TricLED/Slingmods brake "modulator" is not the same thing AT ALL. Yes, it's easier to install. But it doesn't do anything I need. The ST2 "smart brake module" actually...

    My first ride in the rain

    So. First time riding in rain. Luckily I was on a road with a 30 mph speed limit and the rain wasn't TOO heavy. With rain on the Spyder windshield and on my helmet visor, it was really hard to see...

    It's probably those 22-in wheels you got to bling your ride.

    ST2 Brake module install.

    Not exactly. You need to find and tap three wires to install it. I bought the module but have not installed it yet on my 2022 Spyder RTL. I plan to, tho. I think it's...

    My dealer didn't check the lug nuts. I ALMOST lost the right front wheel. One lug nut was gone, one was spinning on the threads, almost gone, and one was at least more than "finger tight". Bottom...

    Do you have the one-piece or 3-piece sway bar? I ask because "they say" the 3-piece does a superior job of controlling cornering when riding 2-up.

    I hope you find a good buyer for it, that's a nice trailer. I just bought an Apogee Adapt-X 600 off of Facebook Marketplace. There seem to be a LOT of items for sale there. I had much better luck...

    I found it worthless because its range was so compressed you couldn't tell the actual tension within 30-50%. Each press seemed to vary somewhat as well. Remember, this was on my bicycle with Gates...

    I bought one for my belt-dive bicycle and found it pretty worthless. I use a Gates Carbon Drive app on my phone with a little better result. It says it works for bicycles or motorcycles. It's on...
  19. Use a board

    I have a similar problem with my Apogee Adapt-X 600 trailer and my Spyder RTL. I went to Home Depot and had them rip a 2x12x8' board into two 1' sections and a 6' remainder. When loading or...

    I once ran over a piece of angle iron in my car. As the tire passed over it, the angle part came up and ripped out the sidewall. Bye-bye tire. Look for a funny shaped rock or debris. A hook shape...

    I just bought one of these in my local area. They are GREAT trailers for a Spyder because they're light, stiff, and carry a huge load. They also FOLD UP and can be easily stored in a garage. They...

    This reminded me of the best Top Speed car review ever. The Bugatti Veron... "At this speed the tires will only last 15 minutes... but that's OK because the fuel will run out in 12!"

    Use oil extractor on Spyder?

    I owned a fancy car that recommended, almost demanded, I use an oil suction extractor for changing oil instead of the drain plug. I'd never thought about it, but inboard boat motors have a heck of a...
