Owners Manual

[Erags]

After reading the post about self-canceling turn signals, it made me wonder just had many of you have read your owners manual?

When in the Navy if one of my sailors went to work on something, the first thing he did was get the manual for that piece of equipment. I have read both the 08 GS manual and the 12 RT manual; both of them have lots of good information. Also the owners manuals are available online, so you can read them on your computer. What is nice is that you can enlarge the print on your computer so it is easier to read.

How many of you ever watched the DVD that came with your :spyder2:?

I know I'm the weird one in reading all owners manual and instruction sheets before working or doing something, but it does help.

First thing I did was read the book and watch the DVD, more than once.

I read the manuals too. Picked our new RT up on Saturday and realized we did not receive the owner's manual. Downloaded the online version but not easy to read the PDF. I should have received a DVD too?

 

[boborgera]

Why read the owner's manual when you can ask on Spyderlovers what i did wrong and how can i fix it:dontknow: Besides most use the pages of the manual to clean the windshield on their car. :roflblack:

Are you sure? If you have an RTS or LTD with the front trunk liner, it is hidden behind the zipper flap in the trunk.

I read and watched all spyder information that was available and than did it again.

:agree:It is in the bottom rear of the frunk on 3 velcro pads.

 

[Raknid]

Bingo! Found it in the frunk. Thank you Nancy and Papa.

We re-read the manual and watch the video at the start of every riding season. Sometimes, I even watch the video during the long winter just for entertainment.

My owner's manual is always in arm reach and I read it more often than anything else except this forum.:yes::yes::yes:

 

[asp125]

Manual? There's a manual?

 

[boborgera]

Manual? There's a manual?

Yep, It comes in Handy when the Spyders parking brake fails to hold , If you stick it under the tire it will
stop the Spyder from rolling away. :roflblack:

watched the dvd before I even had the spyder at home...read the manual over the course of about a week. Good thing too because my tire pressure was really low on all 3 tires when my dealer delivered it. correct tire pressure made a lot of difference in steering.

 

[Ken Thomas]

REALLY

Manual? There's a manual?

:shocked::yikes::shocked::yikes::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Farmbanker]

Read the manual, watched the DVD, then found Spyderlovers. Read about 30-40 threads, many recommended re-reading manual. So read it again. Definitely worth the time.

Agreed! I downloaded it and read it before and after I bought my spyder.

I am one that always reads the manuals included with the products I buy. However, the Spyder RT manual has a few critical errors in it. When questioned about issues in the manual, BRP hides behind the mask that the question is too technical and you must have the dealer intervene.
