Just returned from an 11 day ride 2827 miles total, from NE PA. up through new England, Maine and over to the Cabot Trail with the side trip to Meat Cove. What a great ryde on the spyder. Didn't have any issues at all, checked the oil every couple of days-didn't add any. Added about 4 to 5oz when we got home. Fuel mileage was not so great, but we had so much fun after 2 days I didn't care. We were lucky to have great weather, except for Mt.Washington-seems to always be foggy at the top. 11 days and we only encountered about 4 hours total of rain. Looking forward to the next spyder ryde.
