So should this be goodbye Spyder Lovers,? last July I sold my Spyder RT in favour of my 1500 Goldwing with a Tow Pac Insta Trike conversion.
I would like to say thank you to everyone that that...
Bit of a story
About a year ago, after selling my Suzuki Borgman 650 exec, I just fancied another bike so I bought a Goldwing 1500, remembering my youth having the 1000cc version, Alas it was too...
What's the point in good looks if the machine underneath is a pile of Heath Robinson junk and every service job is a pain in the butt. The Can Am Spyder is not a motorbike it's a computer with some...
Stumbled across this post while looking for answer to a different problem.
I have to differ from most opinions, I find the spyder uncomfortable and badly designed and made, it's clear that the...
This apparently is a common fault on Gold wing 1500, mine did it last week, the solenoid actually jams in the on position, after I replaced it I took the old one apart and sure enough the rod in the...
I'm 71 now but 4 years ago felt 2 wheels a passenger and lots of luggage was getting a bit too much for my knees and physical strength, saw a spyder at a local rally and thought what a good idea,...
Managed it now, remove bottom plastic plate you can see the nut, squashed plastic outer and screwed bolt in, wd40 unscrew till it starts tighten repeat operation about 50 times and it s out replaced...
If only you could turn the bike upsidedown
On uk model low beam is in the frunk only high beam is in the top, l/ h low bulb gone air duct is across back of bulb cover. Typical BRP Cock up
I need to remove the frunk to replace the LH headlight bulb (UK model)
There are 2 bolts underneath that hold the bottom of the frunk to the chassis, they screw into plastic encapsulated nuts The...
In my opinion the whole bike is shoddily made, everthing only fits where it touches
If the body was not curved in front of the foot rests but squared off away from the footrests you could put your...
If you lived in the north of France you could also share our soggy pleasures
My previous FARKLE, now modified,
2 years ago I fitted a wiper and washer to the windshield despite all the input about scratching the screen,but only a few minor scratches as I reckon most people...
I also found that on the frame that fits around the headlights, if you leave the bottom back screws out, (why it needs so many screws in the first place is beyond me), you dont need to take the top...
Don't know if its the same on the US model as the european model, I have a 2014 RT, the headlamps are adjusted by turning a knob under the front lower side panel. If you want to remove the headlight...
This is typical BRP Rubbish design, probably designed by the janitor in his lunch break.
If an engine requires X amount of oil in the sump, tank or wherever its fed from, then with a correctly...
Both of my Fender Position Light bulb holders have gone rusty, so I thought lets get some new sockets, cant be that expensive,, OH YEH, you have to buy the whole assembly at the usual BRP rip off...
Yes Found a pair on Ebay
Thanks
Hi has anyone got a pair of standard RT passenger foot plates they want to sell, I'm in need of a pair.
I live in France and would happily pay postage +
Thanks

Hello
I read in spyderlovers about Keyless Ignition, does anyone actually have one fitted to an RT1330? if so where did you get it.
I realise you still need a key to lock / unlock the steering,...
Thank you very much, just the information I am looking for
Does anyone have any old RT rear wheel bearings, if so is there a number or letters and numbers stamped on them, if so can you tell me these numbers.
The reason I ask is I am told by a bearing...
I ride everywhere all year round except where there's snow, unless I'm caught out in it.
I thought bikes like this were made to be used, not parked in a garage and ogled at, most certainly not "OOH...
Are all Spyders like this or have I got the Friday afternoon one, on my 2014 RT, most of the aluminium parts are corroded to such an extent, I can peel the bubbling paint off with my fingers...
HALLELUJAH, I got it off, I percevered with the WD40 finally trying a hair dryer to heat the rim part keeping away from the hub, a piece of wood and a club hammer and bit by bit it started to lift. ...
Thanks for all your input. I think some of you thought it was the sprocket side I was trying to get off, that came off easily, it's the big centre hub where the rotor bolts onto, however dosed it 3...
RazzleH, it's not really a "coffee maker " in the true sense, it's a heating element that you put in a cup, I have a direct power socket in the L/H front speaker grill, just fused at 15A direct to...
Hi guys
Anyone had this problem or got an easy way out.
Rear Wheel 2014RT, removed the 5 nuts and bolts that hold the centre into the rim but it just won't budge, it's stuck I imagine with alloy...
For my 2 wheelers, I bought an inexpensive DISC lock on ebay incorporating bleeping alarm on touch, also came with bright yellow springy tether so you don't forget and drive off, although cheap you'd...
