But it shows an RS on it not RT :lecturef_smilie:

Close enough for government work!
And I'll let you know what I think of it; once it's on the bike! :2thumbs:

Talked to the company and they said they will fit all can-am spyders.

I have had one on my Spyder for two years and also on my Victory. They work very well. I used velcro to mount it where I can see it as you will have trouble hearing the alarm. When you go beyond any of the setting you make it will beep and flash. Also, have not replaced any of the batteries in two years. It uses a triple A on the display and little watch type batteries on the stems that attach to the tires. Also, never had an issue with the stems as they are a little large. Some people say not to use them they throw the tires out of balance, etc. not true in my opinion.

I'm looking for one myself......but 200$..... have you seen cheaper versions and can we expect to have bad readings if you pay less then $200 ? Thanks.....

You get what you pay for. If Brp was selling it it would cost $400 :roflblack: No I have not seen it cheaper anywhere, in fact that is the first Spyder specific system I have seen. Some auto add ons are quite a bit more though.

I'm just curious about the nut who put 38 psi in their front tires...

Don't forget the metal valve stems.

Is there something more, that I need to know about this? :shocked:

 

[Spacetrucker]

Yes I use them on bike and trl. Works great. A must buy ...

I can only tell you what has been mentioned before on SL's. Since you are adding weight to the valve stem (probably not much) the manufacturer of this system recommends metal valve stems; on its website, it states that; the rubber valve stems will flex and weaken, supposedly.

The flexing of the rubber valve stem is the same reason that any extension elbow placed on the rear wheel be removed when not checking the tire pressure.

These have become fairly common for use with RVs. If these work the same, one of the good things is it will notify you of a slow leak in time for you to do something about it before having an Oh, Crap moment on the freeway.

I have had them for about ywo years. they are in rubber stems with no problem.
They also have a warning symbol to let you know if the battery is getting weak.
it will show you the symbol by the tire that is affected.
