An eagle-eyed friend noticed the Virginia state inspection sticker in one of the photos. I assured him that the annual vehicle inspection was performed shortly after the pictures were taken and that...

For Sale is my Silver Platinum Satin 2014 RT Limited with only 3,500 miles.

In addition to all of the wonderful standard features, included are the following nice options:

• Heated Burgundy...

Yep ... it's the CB/Communications module.

By good fortune, my dealer had a used Spyder with the CB/Comm. He popped the unit out of that and temporarily connected it to mine and ... shazam ... it...

Thanks ... looks like that will be my next stop as I've run out of things to check.

Headed out for a ride and noticed a problem with the factory intercom system.



The passenger could not hear me, but I could hear her.




I could hear my own voice when...

Thanks, Dave.

I've experimented with the various settings and we just don't hear any difference with either the + or - .

I'm just going to leave it on 0% and enjoy the scenery !
...

Well ... I give up.

Does anyone know what the ± 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. values do with regards to the Headset Front setting?

I've run it up + and down - and cannot discern any difference.



...

Wow ... that will wake you up. It also makes the Ms. most unhappy.

I traced the intermittent loud crack-pop to the headset connector on the dash ... the one the rider plugs in to.

Oh joy ......

Why not ? The OEM Kenda is made in China.

I just noticed this ad from Vee Rubber in Rider magazine ...

They're calling their Spyder tire the Arachnid.

Hey Baja Ron ...

From another thread, these are the parts necessary for the oil change on the 2014 Spyder.

Can you assemble these into a kit ... both with and without the oil?


• Oil Filter...

Yep ... it's the connection for the headset communications ... not a 12v plug.

Interesting that the article is dated October 17, 2013.

If placing the ferrite choke on the helmet cord is inconvenient, you can accomplish the same by placing one on the entertainment harness wire just as it goes under the center console.

The gray...

Here's the letter ...

Dear Can-AmDealer and Distributors,


The CB communication kits installed on 2013 and 2014 Can-am RT models could generate in rare occasions an electrical problem causing...

Yes .... it's the BRP part number.

$50

Seriously ... ?

What a terrible problem to have.

I picked up my spare key this morning.

The part number is: 710003596

Excellent ... thanks, Bill.

Great stuff ... I use it on all my vehicles ... EXCEPT the 2014 Spyder Ltd. in Silver Platinum Satin.

Nothing, nada, zip ... can barely use water and a clean cloth on that satin finish.

I dunno ... give him several months. He'll have a Walmart/Lowes/Home Depot vest on and be back to work or doing something !:congrats:

Mine did that also, Tony.

At first I thought it was the rear brake & rotor but, upon closer sniffing, it seemed to be coming from the muffler.

After several hundred miles it is no longer...

Is this the PTT Remote you mention, Bill ?

Can Am on the left, J&M on the right.

Good to know that the intercom can be manually operated.

We are prone to blasting each other...

You can add some additional grounding for the CB radio and antenna that may help its performance ....

Dan is one of the few who stayed awake in geometry class ! :thumbup:

Does Amsoil make a 5W40 synthetic ? I haven't located it yet.

Ted ...

Have you or will you be using the T6 5W40 in your 2014 ?

If so, please report how it does for you.

I will likely do the first oil change at 1,000 miles.

Thanks ...

I just put one on mine and it is really loud. Don't test it while sitting next to it. Ask me why I say that ! :yikes:

It comes with the relay and it is recommended.

I used the original...

Fred ... are you saying that you already have the passenger audio connector ?

It's directly under the left rear speaker, at the rear of the hand grip, and has a spring loaded cap.

The passenger...

Any reports from Spyder riders who have had the alignment done at Henderson's ?

At 2¼ hours, they would likely be the closest for me.
