    Revolos offers better coverage of repairs than BEST. BEST is more universally accepted. If you live local to the dealership you purchased from and plan to have your service work performed by them you...

    You have to be really careful in consideration of an aftermarket warranty. Servicing dealers are not required to honor them. I have been disappointed by a few local BRP dealers Service Department...

    There is no way in H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS where I would pay $300 for a motorcycle cover. The UltraGard cover is very nice and has a 5 year warranty. I would definitely look into one of those.

    He is probably out of warranty by now and the BRP BEST warranty does not cover this part. I have a different extended service contract than the BEST where the parts and labor were covered items but I...

    I replaced both of mine on my 2021 RTL. You have the basic gist of it on what you need to remove except for the pannier box inner liner has to come out all of the way. There are some screws and...
  6. HowTo: Tire pressure no matter how it’s measured by...

    Tire pressure no matter how it’s measured by digital gauge or TPMS will seldom match. If you are within a couple of tenths of 1PSI you are good to go. Tire pressure equalization is stretching it....

    I would guess that a dead battery, a flat tire, and parking brake problems would have to be the top three concerns, so carrying a few things to get you back on the road if those occur without an...

    When starting up the Spyder the audio control takes a long time to boot up. After an extended wait time with nothing, try repeatedly depressing the top left control button on the audio keypad firmly...

    I find it incredible that people are believing that our air is dirty. Everywhere I go everyone is happily alive and thriving. Put me down in the growing room of climate skeptics. There is no way I...

    Recent news says that 47% of Buick dealers will be ending their franchise rather than upgrade their facilities to sell money losing EV’s. Other news say that Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki CEO’s say...

    Intentionally stopped into Buc’ees in Sevierville Tennessee a couple of weeks ago for a fill up and opportunity to see what that and their convenience store was all about. Left there very impressed...

    Mstella101, I am from Homer Glen. What type of electrical problem is your Spyder suffering from? Replacing a whole entire wiring harness seems to be radical surgery.
  14. Your Spyder is out of warranty. During the...

    Your Spyder is out of warranty. During the warranty period the dealership is paid according to a factory allocation of time. This time guide is generally a loser for the technician doing the repair....

    The installation of the spring worked on the seat of my 2021 RTL but not on my 2022. The spring just slid all the way down and didn’t fit the strut the same way as the 2021. I will be ordering the...

    If you lift the reservoir back off the bracket with one hand you can take that tubing and see where it fits. From there you can make a more informed action to reinstall it. I truly question the need...

    I don’t think that BRP is going anywhere with an electric powered motorcycle. If they did it would not have any range of travel. The added weight of the battery pack would certainly need an upgrade...

    I have a Craftsman motorcycle jack that I use on my RTL’s. It will lift it but you have to be very careful with its balance on the jack. You can lift it up fine but if you have to take the front...

    If you make a 1/8th turn on each adjuster you have made a 1/4 turn of total adjustment. Perhaps you should only make 1/8th of adjustment on just one side. If that is what it is then you probably are...

    The electric fuel pump does not get cooled by the gasoline. The motor does not run hot nor does the pump generate any significant amount of heat. Gasoline and/or water are not lubricants. Diesel fuel...

    The “lubricity” of gasoline is practically nil. There is no barrier film protection provided by the gasoline to protect against any mechanical wear. Gasoline as a coolant for the pump is a rather...

    I don’t recommend slamming the lid. I close mine gently and then firmly push down the rear edge so the latch engages.

    Show tunes.





    J/k, I listen to Chicago’s 97.9 The Loop via iHeart Radio because the BRP FM tuner sucks. It’s a classic rock station.

    Ski-Doo’s have a very competitive marketplace while the Spyder does not.
  25. Cars, motorcycles, no difference between the two...

    Cars, motorcycles, no difference between the two when purchasing them. “Take as much time as you need and bring it back when you’re ready to buy.” I can see that happening.
  26. I don’t trust the fuel gauge to be very accurate....

    I don’t trust the fuel gauge to be very accurate. Filling the Spyder at the gas station never gives me a truly full tank. I usually bring my 5.5 gallon gas tank with me to fill up when I fill my car...

    At 3000 miles I changed my oil and filter. I was very happy with having the filter and seal Baja Ron sent me. I noticed that one of my original drain plug o-rings was split so it was good to have...

    BRP sells Skii-Doo and Sea-Doo at the same dealership where I purchased my Can Am. I don’t think they offer those buyers any test rides either. What could you possibly learn from a test ride in the...

    I took my Basic Three Wheel Motorcycle course and obtained my license on a Ryker. There really is no reason to test drive the bikes that I could find. Either you are comfortable with the seating...

    For reasons of personal inquiry of this question, I performed some voltage tests on my Spyder and also measured the ignition off draw. I found the IOD to be 51mA after about 1 minute and it stayed...
