I've sent another PM (Private Message). There should be a menu item "My PM's" near the top left of the screen. With a counter showing the number of unread PMs you have. Unless you have disabled PMs...

As my sig line says, it's a 2016 RT Limited. So it comes with GPS, sound, etc. Didn't you receive my PM, sent about a week ago?

Mine will shortly be available from JFK. I'm riding it to Auckland tomorrow morning for them to sell on behalf. It's coming up to 3 years old, but has less than 9,000km on the clock. I'm just not...

PM sent.

I recently talked to Haydon at JFK about them selling mine on behalf. They would do that for a fixed fee. So you always have that option as well if you buy one and don't get it sold before leaving...

There are at least 2 companies that have rented out Spyders in the past, but neither of them is showing a Spyder on their current list of bikes. My Spyder had actually been hired out by the importer...

Having ridden a Piaggio MP3 for some distance, and having owned 2-wheel scooters in the past, I wouldn't have any objection to keeping one in the garage if it had had some more power. More or less...

Doesn't that socket disconnect when the ignition is switched off? If so, it wouldn't be very useful for a battery maintainer.

One of the most useful safety gadgets, if only someone could build one, would be a remote control that could switch off all handheld mobile phones within a radius of 200 metres or so. You get an...

I'm definitely not holding my thumb and forefinger on the gearshift paddles. But the forefinger is so close to the paddle that the involuntary movement when I lift my thumb to change up is enough to...

1. Often when manually cancelling the indicators I end up indicating to the opposite side. There is no apparent friction or detent to provide some resistance to the sideways movement of the switch,...

I know Gull is not found on the South Island, but the unmanned Gull stations in the North Island should be open 24 hours a day. They are entirely self-service. Just give them your credit card and...

If you know your way around there is definitely no shortage of interesting roads with very little traffic on the North Island. Sounds like you found a few of them on the way, including the back road...

I often wondered about this. You don't install a special charging circuit in your vehicle when you install this battery. So why would a special charger be required? Install it in the vehicle and run...

Instead of a 110V supply would it be possible for you to install a small solar panel that is intended to maintain charge on a 12V battery? Some years ago I did this to maintain a bike battery during...

Sounds good. Where have you located the cameras, the GPS, and the control unit? Any advice would be appreciated if/when I get around to installing one.

I use a dash cam in the car, but not on the Spyder, since it's not waterproof. I've also tried a GoPro-type camera, but gave up keeping it waterproof while being powered by the Spyder. However, I...

Yesterday I visited the dealer to have a replacement windshield fitted. The tech was busy with another RTL, a 2014 with a blown headlight bulb on the left hand side. Apparently the whole front end...

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.

Yes, I could have cut down the original windshield, but I'd still have to add the louvered vent to get an equivalent windshield. On hot days that vent...

The stock windshield on the 2016 RT Ltd is slightly too tall for me. At the lowest position I'm partly looking over it, and partly through it. At the highest position I'm looking through it. Neither...

Thanks. I actually downloaded and read the handbook before picking up the Spyder. And just after posting the last message I found the tyre pressures are on a label under the seat. But they do require...

Thanks. I'm gradually learning and getting to grips with the cornering. Some more things that I've learned.

- The ground clearance is rather limited. Managed to get the left wheel into a slight...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

I picked up the Spyder yesterday from the dealer in Auckland, rode it to Clevedon for lunch, and from there took one of the twistiest roads in the area, the coast...

There don't seem to be many members from New Zealand on the forum, but now there's one more.

After going for a test ride on an almost new RT Limited a few days ago, and agreeing to buy it, I will...
