The tie downs are tight. They are very long and have long tails. I think there is one from the Spyder frame to the lifting part of the frame and one from the subframe by the oil cooler to the base of...

The tie downs are tight. They are very long and have long tails. I think there is one from the Spyder frame to the lifting part of the frame and one from the subframe by the oil cooler to the base of...
It is rated for 1100 lbs and the arms are pretty stout, but the Spyder is longer and wider than it is really designed for. I never did see the arms on the floor come up at all like it was tipping. ...
If you look in the second picture you can see two tie down straps holding the Spyder to the jack. I also left a jack stand under the rear tire if it was on.
It has been a while, but I think I did have to take the floorboard off on the jack side. You do have to make sure you get it in a good spot to balance. I had all three wheels on and off at different...
I have both. I use the high lift on big jobs to save my back. I had to buy some square tubing to extend the arms and use some wood spacers at the frame points to level it. Once I get it in the air I...
They make back up lights that also beep. All you have to do is replace the back up bulbs. Search on Amazon. They also have stand alone beepers that you tie into the wiring for the back up lights.
I don't know of an off the self riser but I think you can just use a 2" block of aluminum and drill 4 holes in it. You will need longer metric socket head cap screws. Be sure and Loctite them in...
My question is, what do you mean when you say, "when the engine gets to operating temp the clutch dies"? When you pull in on the clutch lever does it do nothing, meaning the clutch doesn't disengage...
Sounds like you got it. Ride on old man :riding:
I haven't had it aligned since I replaced the A-arm bushings. I am thinking about riding to Lamonster garage and have them do it. Then ride around the Ozarks for a while. Just waiting for some...
Here is my story with Marine World. I wouldn't recommend them.

Last tank, 90 miles when the light came on. 21mpg :clap:
The think the OP stated that he used the .032 pre-gapped plugs. What are the OEM plugs gapped at? With wear, the gap increases. It would be very hard to get a perfect apples to apples comparison. ...
Just say no! They should only charge $800 max to check the valves. There is no need to check them. I just bought an 2013 RTS last fall with 23000 miles. I checked my valves this winter but only...
Most battery tenders tend to cook batteries over the winter. If your battery is bad that is probably what happened. Try using a CTEK charger that is made for AMG batteries. If you live in a very...
The company I work for just announced that they are partnering with Aerion Aviation to help build a cool new supersonic business jet.

Get some good heavy duty diagonal cutters and LOTS of hose clamps.
I assume you are talking about a 2013? If so I could take pictures of one installed.
Did I mess up? I need your expert advise. I replaced the water pump on my 2013 RTS. I bought all new seals, gaskets, crush washers, etc. I have done a lot of work on cars, motorcycles, 4 wheelers...
There is a new 2018 RT limited for only $21,299 in Kansas.

I have the instructions from Baja Ron that came with my new pads. If you want, I could type them in. They are essentially the same as what is listed on EBC's web site:...
When it was pointed out to me that the Powervision was now available I looked and it does list some Spyders if you use the vehicle fitment search. They only list the RT for 2016-2017 and the F3 for...
This is more what what it looks like without plastic.

Trying to rotate picture. Not having any success.
It does take up the whole garage. It would be easier to tell you what I didn’t do! The main things were the valve covers were leaking. So cheching the valves made sense. It was leaking antifreeze. I...
Finally ready to start going back together!
Hopefully it will be all done by spring.

I just asked Steve about the 89t rear sprocket and this was his reply, "We started to look into allowing sprocket changes, but never finished. Personally, I think the higher gearing of the 79T is...
I took my old wheel and tire and the new tire to Discount Tire. I left the hub and disk on it. They mounted it with no problem but said they couldn't balance it. It is a General Altimax. I just...
Sorry, try searching for can-am delrin bushings. Same company. The company name is Machined Integrations. Their ebay seller name is machinedintegrations. Their web site is...

I have a 2013 RT-S. I’m pretty sure they are the same. The bolt should be a standard flange bolt. There should be a chrome plated sleeve that goes inside the bushings. The bolt should not see...
