We've had our 2014 RT-s SE6 for about a month. Being new to Spyder's we are taking our time learning to drive it. So far we've figured out that 17 psi in the front is too low (what it was delivered with) and have put in 20 psi (as recommended by the owner's manual). The rear shock was set at medium, but with only one-up, the first or second lowest position appears to work better for us. Straight line riding is now very comfortable, but having rode 2-wheels in the past, the curves still are a bit daunting. This is particularly true of the off camber local streets we are using for practice. Both my wife and I rode a larger country road
today and find it much easier to control in the curves. Guess we're learning :thumbup:
But we have some noises we want to at the Forum about.
First - When you shift from Neutral to 1st. or Reverse, it makes a loud "CLUNK"! Is this normal for the SE6 transmission?
Second - There's a sound like when you put a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle - "clip. clip, clip....." coming from the left front wheel area. I've not been able to locate any loose label, wire or plastic that could rub against the wheel. The sound goes faster as the tryke goes faster but almost gets lost in the air noise at highway speed. Any ideas.
