New swaybar....that wasn't much fun
I have yet to find anything easy to work on on this Spyder. Everything is harder than a RS or RT. The bad news is all the 2013 share the same frame so the swaybar is pretty much going to me the same fight on all models. They have it fished in on top of the frame now and it's a real fight to get it out and to get it back in. Good thing I only had to do it once. I now have the RSS bar on my ST

So does that mean there is one for the 2013 RT? Please say yes because they really need a beefier one.

Ron is working on one but you may want to make sure that your shocks are up to par first. I know of one guy that had this issue.

What do you mean? How would I know if they are up to par?

The easy way is ride another 2013 and see if it's the same. For the other guy he could tell the difference right away.

Did you do the FOX Shocks too or just the Sway Bar?
Thanks!

2010 RTS-SE, Orbital Blue
I wonder if BRP checked their demos. I rode an RTS from Vendor Village up to Battlefield and back. I thought it was less stable than my '10 with 2011 shocks on it. JMO

I agree the ST swaybar was a real booger to change, if you don't have a lift you will have to jack the front end up about three feet and finagle it over the frame rail, it's not a 30 minute job.

Am I mistaken ?
I thought the upgrades to the 2013 frame/suspension meant you didn't need to modify them?
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

2013 Sway Bar
Lamonster
Can you give everyone a drawing and dimensions (length, width, depth, diameter and hole size) of the stock 2013 Sway Bar verses the Bajaron one you installed?

I believe he installed the RSS sway bar. There isn't an aftermarket bar available yet.

That's correct. It's the same one BRP sells as a kit with Fox shocks.
The hard part is not so much what you have to take off to get to it but getting the bar out and back in. Even on a lift you have to pull the Spyder all the way forward on the lift so the swaybar can swing in front of the platform. The only easy way to do this would be have an open bottom lift like Harvey has.

Lamonster,
Did you switch out to the Fox shocks? Settings?
Compare the ride to the stock ST-S set up.
