    Good point. Worth a test. Here are three pressure checks on the rear tire. I decided to try it with the valve towards the top (I usually roll the Spyder to get the valve on the bottom.)...

    My idle jumps the same: 1300-1400. Weird, but it runs great. I just try to keep it above 4000RPM. Haven't had it in 5th gear yet. 4th gear at 70mph runs great. I'm glad I have cruise control :)

    Oil Drain Plug Overtightened

    I'm doing my first oil change on my 2013 Spyder RT. Stupid torque wrench clicks so fast I'm never sure if it's set right or just messing with me. That said I'm pretty sure I cranked it too tight....

    For quick and easy lifting, I have this harbor freight aluminum jack. A little small for most auto/truck work, but great for the Spyder. It got the back wheel off the ground, no problem.174966
