    Red face how many miles will a spyder go before you need to replace it?

    I have a 2012 rs se5 we have not yet had it a year and have put 10500 great miles on it. So my questions is this.....how many miles can a spyder go? I do turn some higher rpm but I keep good oil in it and most of it is on the highway. Just wondering ......

    There is a thread for how many miles on your spyder.

    So far, 85 SL's have chimed in. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...current-Spyder

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I would like to know what the elite few have done in maintenance/frequency in those 100,000 miles......ex. clutch replacements, belt swaps, suspension retune, bearing swaps, spark plug change, brake changes.


    The spyder has only been out 6ish years, so there's not a ton of info out there on the "life" of the machine. Because only a few have hit the 6 figure mileage marks.

    Doc lives in Clearwater, FL and his church is a the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. You figure it out!!!! Will say, his Spyder runs better than all others, 118 mph in the 1/4 mile. Wow!!!!
