    Default Keeping, what was I thinking ?!?!

    Med issues and my body is sore, so I was feeling a little down and especially with the weather turning cold and rainy..

    ..but decided I'm keeping the Spyder for as long as I'm physically able to handle the rocky dirt and gravel roads around here

    Were the heat remediation scoops installed? I don't see them in the pictures.

    If those photos are current, the bike does not have the 2013 heat related recall performed. It needs to be completed before you sell it. The 2013 is a significant fire hazard without the recall and unsafe.

    A couple of us have mentioned the air scoops because most will want to have them installed.

    My 2013 St does not have them, don't imagine they are available by now, but living on the coast of Oregon I'm not concerned about it having eliminated the Evap canister

    You look where the fog lights are on a 2012 and this one looks like they're air scoops.

    The recall did not apply to the ST. 2013 RT only.

    2013 RT recall added air scoops under the mirrors. But there were significant changes to the fuel system as well that you can't see in a photo.
