I have been using antiseize on all kinds of cars, bikes, trucks with aluminum heads on the sparkplugs. If you dont the plugs will seize up and tear the htrwads up the next time you remove them. I...
When I trailered my Spyder I used a couple wheel chocks I got out of a junked 280ZX I had. Its the stock Datsun wheel chocks they had used for decades I think, lol. Anyway, have 2 of them, place one...
All SBC weigh the same within a few pounds unless you add aluminum heads and intake. The best way to go is the LS series engines, the all aluminum V8's in the newer Vettes and Camaros. More power and...
For those that dont know, NAPA Gold filters are made by Wix, they just rename it for NAPA. Same goes for thier oil filters. Wix is a very good quality product so the NAPA filters are also very good.
Im lucky to get over 30 combined, but I also give ot a lot of throttle sometimes. Wish it did as well as my 09 Hayabusa, it gets over 40 MPG combined even on the throttle a lot.
A good way to prevent tailgating is to go the speed limit or get out of the left lane(on a 4 lane road). That is if you go slower than the speed limit. I dont have that problem, lol, I go faster. I...
If its that bad I may still think about trading it off. I have freinds with Victory's and other belt driven bikes and they never have trouble with rocks in the belts and if rocks ever did make it in...
Tell them that you just bought it from the local fork lift dealer and that they had a special sale on them.
I have worked as a mechanic and know how they get paid. Its flat rate and it flat sucks, lol. Thats how a lot of mistakes are made with techs trying to beat the time and forgetting something or...
It doesnt take me an hour to do an oil change, not even the first time on a Spyder. Shouldnt charge an hour or more if it doesn't take an hour or more. Car dealers do the same though. Private owned...
$200-300 is way too much to pay for an oil change that any person with any mechanical skills can do for a third of that price is a ripoff. The 600 mile inspection may be within that range due to...
You got ripped off. The warranty stuff is free so that was all oil change costs with inspection. Its something you can do for less than $50 yourself. Its not that hard to do at all.
I have a homemade trailer made from a boat trailer(geuss its half home made) I got for $300 plus another $50 for a light kit and bearing sets for both sides. See if you can find a cheaper trailer and...
Took me about 10 miles to even get halfway comfortable on it. You have to drive it reverse of a 2 wheeler in the corners, you steer the way you want to go instead of countersteering. I have gone for...
Carlos even called and left a message for me. I was cutting the grass so didnt hear the phone. He said he got my e mail from last week and saw that the dealer had contacted them and were going to...
I dont have any of thier helmets. I have a Shark brand full face and a cheapo HJC full face helmet. I would never ride without a full face since whats the first thing that gets hit on a forward...
See first post, getting it covered under warranty, woo hoo.
Try riding an 07-08 R1 if you like hot legs, lol. Only way to remedy that is to wear long pants and thick socks. My Spyder doesnt get my leg hit at all even with thin dress style pants, and hasnt...
I have a newer Cub Cadet. Probably lost the receipt though.
I hope they do replace it. I got the trailer and will be picking up the light kit for it today. Ill try and take it down to the dealer Tuesday and see how it goes.
Could be, lol, a lot of the older people that fall and break their hip may actually have broke their hip and then fall. The femur snaps off near the top where the joint is and the person of course...
Of course older people will be hurt more and die more, their bodies aren't as strong as they used to be(osteoporosis being a big one) and thier immunity/body healing abilty is much less than when...
Not really, eating a lot of those will clean you out so you will leave quite a lot in the commode, lol.
I do my own maintenance. I changed the oil which was no big deal for me to do. I found the belt problem while looking it over. I bought it at a non Can Am dealer who bought it from a dealer who shut...
I never rode ATV or snowmobiles so I have only been on 2 wheels other than cars. Its completely backwards at speed compared to a motorcycle. Instead of countersteering you turn the handles the...
What did the belt look like? Mine looks like someone tore it apart from the edge inward like a piece of tape.
Heres my pictures of the tear. Camera is old and crappy but you can see what I am...
Its the same for a lot of Japanese and European cars/bikes. I have never replaced the copper washers on any that had them and never had a leak. I just made sure the parts were perfectly clean when I...
Hey you Iowa guys. Go Hawks!!!! I am originally from Muscatine and have been to 600 acres in Solon to go four wheeling.
Down here in Alabama I have seen 2 that were not mine and not at a dealer....
I e mailed BRP and told them all about it. The place I bought the Spyder from is not a Spyder dealer and will not owrk on them. They had gotten it from a dealer who closed somewhere else. The...
