• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    RT rear Car Tires

    Through the years I have read about people installing 215/60/15 tires on their RT Spyders. Would be nice, if possible to have comments posted describing the makes, likes, dislikes, mileage attained, etc. Thanks in advance.

    Passenger not happy!! :-(

    My question is how tall are you and how tall is she? You can only get her part of the seat up to so high. After that she will be sitting too high to be safe. If you are that much taller than she is, she may never get high enough. Any of the other suggestions mentioned may work. But you can...

    Why you should never let a non-rider ride your Spyder

    Been riding since 1966 and with only ONE exception, NO ONE...I don't care if they have been certified, tested, trained , been riding since they left the crib...will ride my bike. The exception? The tech at a dealer I trust, but only if he needs to test ride after a repair. And the pitty potty...

    Inaccurate speedometer / thermometer / clock

    We have had a 2008, 2010 and now a 2014 RTS. Basically same "issues". Issues to some. I have the ultimate solution...I wear a watch, if I am cold I wear more layers, if I am hot I peel off, my speedometer I set it at 73 mph and ride. The reason we have a Spyder is to get away from all the...

    Something wrong with this picture?

    DEFINITELY the front tires are on wrong. Reverse travel spin. DO NOT accept it this way and question your dealer.

    Where did you get your "Handle"?

    When I signed in back in 2008, I figured there weren't too many with the name Dudley in this world, so I went with my first name, "Dudley". Not too original.

    Looking for oil Leak and I found it.

    If by servicing the Spyder by the book means you changed the oil by the book, why did you add more oil? At least that's what it sounds like you did.

    Frustration trying to find boots

    Have you ever heard of BA Mason shoes? You can go online and see what they have. Some boots are up to EEEEE. I have had several Western Boots from them and have been very satisfied. I am waiting on another new pair of Western Waterproof boots EEE.

    tires

    My thoughts on this....It's a dealer's way of making extra money, then changing your worn out tire at about the same time as would if you had never rotated them. Front tires are capable of getting 25,000+ miles on them, rotated or not. IMHO, save your money and run them till you need to...

    Spyder in the shop

    If you could share some of the issues you have, someone on SL might have some suggestions. Even maybe suggesting a dealer that could fix you up.

    Oil Change Problem?

    If you put in the right amount of oil, why are you worried about the dip stick? The oil is in your engine. Go ride it and enjoy it.

    here is a question that i am having a hard time answering

    We would get on the Spyder and point it forward, destination unknown, like we did on our 7.5 week, 13,624 miles journey we completed in 2009 on our 2008 GS SE5. No schedule, no motel reservations, just riding, looking, picture taking. Priceless.

    Michelin tire wear

    Try this to find tire. http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehicle/tires/allbrands.html Looks like a great tire.

    Anyone try this tire yet???

    Probably be my next tire. OnLineTires has a better price. I have no clue as to it's quality or mileage, but willing to try one. That will be in about 8,000 more miles.

    1330 oil change interval

    I will change between 9300 and 10,000 miles. The oil doesn't know that and neither does the engine.

    What's the go with this Front End Wiggle? Do I need new tires already, or what?

    I checked this sight. Got a mean looking 225/50/15 for a good price. Also saw the 165/55/15 for the front. That's what I will consider for my next tires.

    2015 RT LTD SE6 Noise Question For You

    Except if it gets to about 90 db ride it until your 3000 mile first check up. Could be your fuel pump that most, if not all the 14s have a noticeable whine from the fuel pump. No issues as of yet that we have heard of from this habit. Mine has it and I have 7800 miles...started about 500...

    What's the go with this Front End Wiggle? Do I need new tires already, or what?

    My first guess would be warped brake rotors. Have you ever washed your Spyder as soon as you get home after a good ride?
