My wife is now a HAPPY Spyder rider once more! After removing instrument cluster and checking connections, wires, and continuity to the front turn signals and finding nothing wrong I put everything...

How would I go about testing this for short or break?

Yes, I do have a volt ohm meter and know how to check voltage and continuity.

I removed wind screen and instrument cluster. Like you said very simple. Checked connection to instruments, and two small connecters that go to each front turn signal. All seem to be tight and not...

This may also be a result from me having dealership install a set of Can am fog lights this spring. She hasn't put a lot of miles on it since and not absolutely sure the turn signals have worked...

Actually have to remove the bag just to replace rear bulb. No, neither front or back signal lights work with the 4-way flashers either. I will look for wire issues but not sure I want to start...

My wife's 2009 RS SE5 left turn signal front and back quit working. Initially I thought it was just the rear one and after a long search for a new bulb (takes a special small one with offset pins) I...

Sorry, the idiot that had made the agreement to sell his newer Concours to me has sold (traded it to a dealer) 2 hrs before I headed out on a 4hr roadtrip to pick it up. Unbelievable!!! Some people...

Thanks, I love it that is why I am upgrading to a newer one, same bike. This 2008 has 47,000 miles on her and still a lot more left in her. Still runs as new. I just think I want the linked ABS and...

It is time for me to sell my Connie. It's a sport touring bike with more emphasis on sport. I have found a newer Concours and the 2008 has to go. Bike has adjustable windshield, 6spd trans, runs...

Thanks for the information, I will try to optimize the travel on hers as soon as I get it back from the dealer. Then, if I can get it to be solid further from grip, I will order the adjustable lever.

Rode the wife's spyder to drop it off at the Dealership for some work (installing foglights) and used the handbrake quite a lot. I was going to purchase an adjustable lever but the stock one stops...

Are you saying ISCI now has a new lever for their brake system? Maybe adjustable or a different angle for smaller hands? I just checked their website and didn't see anything about one. Thanks

Just returned back from Daytona Bike Week a week ago. As usual saw a ton of HD's. This time though I also saw quite a few Spyders, mostly all RT's. Went a couple of years ago and saw very few...

I have to say, I think it is great to be able to have a handling, speed discussion on a particular machine without it getting to heated!
Everyone has opinions and sometimes people take these a...

I don't care for the prototype.
I would like to see someone like Kaw, Honda, that has a reputation for reliability come out with something (inline 4), for sure. Bring on the competition!
I agree...

I wanted to mount a GIVI V46 monokey box on the wifes spyder. We decided to buy just one top box and use it for both her spyder and my Connie. So.... I got on the phone with Phil Ham of Phills...

The auto trans models will cost more because you will need an extra filter to do a complete job.
I use amsoil and BRP filters. Shifts a lot smoother and it meets all of the specs shown in the...

The wifes 2009 SE5 had parking brake issues shortly after we first got it. I took body off so that I could look at it well and just cleaned it with some blaster. Then wiped it off good and lightly...

TEXTING isn't the same issue! That is a safety issue like drunken driving. A person not wearing a helmet isn't going to cause someone to hit me head on. That is comparing apples to oranges here. The...

Exactly, freedom of choice not control with lots of laws lots of which are rearely enforced. Wearing a helmet should be a choice for experienced licensed drivers of a certain age. Child passengers...

What a great post on U-tube! Excellant job and really nice pictures of the ride and shows what awesome people spyder lovers are. :clap:
Check it out.

Our 2009 RS had what seemed to be a small oil leak on the rt side of the spyder. I asked the dealer to check it out. After doing just that he said the air filter box had oil in it that was leaking...

Thanks to the Armstrong family owners and operators of Pioneer Motorsports in Chaffee, NY for sponsoring a GREAT ride this last Sunday!
:2thumbs:

I had to arrive late and met the huge line of...

I knew the CR thing would surface sooner or later in this thread. One thing you learn when riding a sport bike or a sport touring bike is that they can stop faster than most anything you have ever...

You may want to check out the for sale section of this forum. There are a few 09 RS SE5's for sale with extras for around 15000. Not many miles with the recalls already taken care of and warranties...

How do I know??? No, I didn't see my first robin here in Western NY, but I did see my wife and her friend take their first ride of 2011 on their SPYDERS. Temps were high of about 55 yesterday so I...

1VENOM, how did you get enough clearance for the d-rings under the top to latch down without grinding away some of the web? The web on mine almost contacts the bottom when closed. It closed fine...

Fast the spyder is not! It has quite a bit of torgue and bottom end like most twin cylinder bikes.
My kids always say "it is what it is"
I have always hated that saying and say "it is what you...

OK, That is pretty much what I was doing. I use to race bikes so it wasn't new to me, it has just been some time since I have done it.
I think part of the problem with my wifes was that with the...
