I'll be heading to Sturgis for the first time this year.
Decided to go to Sturgis this year from Washington State. Will be a 12 day trip so I guess that's fairly long. Only going to ride 300 or so miles a day and spend 4 days at the rally. Will be going...
I have a 2013 RT-s I keep in Az. for the winter months and a 2014 RT-s I have in Washington for May to November. Perfect combination for me because I do my long distance cruising in the summer and...
I have the tall and wide Cal-Sci windshield and really like it. I'm 6'6" tall and the factory windshield didn't go up far enough to eliminate the wind buffeting on my helmet. Mine has a vent and has...
Had mine at 103 and only pulling 5800 rpms. I think 110+ is possible but need a long straight stretch. Was very stable. The aerodynamics kind of make the bike squat at speed.:yes::yes::yes:
After Laser alignment my 2014 still pulled right so I took to the dealer I purchased it from. First time they said it still needed an alignment but they didn't have time I rescheduled for the same...
The only way I can ride my 2013 RT-s in the hot months in Az. is too wear heavy jeans and leather chaps and boots. Otherwise I will get 2nd degree burns on my right calf. I then leave the bike...
Do we still have reposition the fuse from slot 6 to slot 7 to have the 12 volt outlet in the trunk hot all the time on the 2014. I know I had to do this on my 2013 RT-s.
I have a campsite reserved at the KOA in Rapid city for Aug2-6. Cost $159 for 4 nights. Has a swimming pool and hot tubs so I figure it should be fun. About 30 miles from Sturgis, which is far...
Anyone planning on going to Sturgis next year for the 75th anniversary of the rally. I already have my campsite reserved at the KOA in Rapid City and was wondering if anyone else is going. If so, we...
I have a simple question that is totally non-political. What is the difference between a Cat Bypass and just removing the catalytic convertor completely. I would think a muffler shop could cut out...
The trick that got me to relax my grip, especially at speed, was to use the cruise control more and that way I didn't have to grip the throttle all the time. After that I began to get used to the...
I have a 2013 RT-s and a 2014 RT-s and I wish I never bought the 2013. Waste of money and you have to put a grand or more into it to get a bike you can ride when it's over 90 degrees. Even then you...
Be aware that the Spyder is a long belt drive and 2 miles on gravel every day will be a problem. Stones in the belt tear them up and cost money to replace. I agree with you that the Spyder is not...
I have both a 2013 RT-s and a 2014 RT-s. I like the sound and quick response of the 2013 better than the 2014 triple. My 2013 has a throaty sound and the 2014 is more of a whine. The 2013 has...
I use warm water, Dawn dish soap and a microfiber wash mitt. Dry with microfiber cloth and wax with ICE. Occasionally I use Plexus on windshield but Dawn and warm water does the trick. I also use...
I wish this thread was named differently. Now I feel compelled to ride tonight with just my helmet and boots. Beware Chelan of a Yellow Sypder with a large naked man with his boots and helmet on...
What has everyone done with the 2013 models. Spyderpops recommends drilling the holes in the plate. Has everyone done this or are you removing the plate. If you remove the plate what do you do with...
Used to cook Hot Pockets on my Bombardier Ski-Doo so why am I not surprised you can do it on a Bombardier Spyder. I have to try this on 2013 RT-S. It's so friggin' hot it should be no problem
I just ordered a set of half chaps from Jamin' Leather. $59.95. I figure these with the block off plate should help the burning right leg. Now I have to figure out what to do about the roasting...
I had my 2014 RTs aligned yesterday at the HOW Ride in Chelan. On the 250 mile group ride today I was having trouble with the bike pulling right. When we got back to Murphybrown's place I saw Ann and...
When you say you'll see you friends next week I am assuming you will be at the HOW Ride in Chelan. I'll be there also. Look me up.
I am one of the few people that own both a 2013 RT-s and a 2014RTs. I have the 2013 in Az. and the 2014 in Chelan, Wa. After driving both extensively, not just a test ride, I can tell you the 2014...
When you say the "breather kit" are referring to the air filter that he sells or is there something else that I don't see on his website. I need help with heat on my 2013 RT-s
My 2014 RT-s is smooth as silk at all speeds on the road. I'm completely amazed compared to my 2013 RT-s. The suspension feels so nice I don't think I'm going to need the RonBar but I am having...
Black Crowe-- When I got my 2013 with the same set up as you it really bothered me to hear the engine at 5000 RPM is first gear. You get used to it. My bike won't even shift in 2nd until about 27-28...
I have trigger finger on my middle and ring fingers of the left hand. Can not pull in a clutch handle. SE allows me to ride a motorcycle at all. Spyder has been a God Send. I now have two. A 2013...
My RT-S was 31,064 including tax, prep and license, OTD from Lifestyles Honda in Mt. Vernon, Wa. I don't know if this is good or not but I like the dealer and they have good service dept.
I gt one of the gauges that has a round dial and a short hose with the nipple attachment on the end. Able to snake it around all the hardware on the rear tire nicely. I also like that I can reduce...
I found myself cruising at 2500 RPM but I don't know if that is correct.
