A very expensive tire fix...

[Bob Denman]

I did something like that about 12 years ago. The water pump started to leak on my 1994 cobra. While it was in there, I changed out all the suspension, new heads, intake, cam, nitrous kit, etc.. When I got the car back after about 8 weeks, the wife said it sounded different:yes:.

Love it!!! :clap:
Back in 2009; I took my Yamaha Grizzly 660 to the shop for them to change a front wheel bearing...
Somehow; it came home with a Raptor "bumpstick" in the top-end, and a new 686 kit! hyea:

Perhaps they 'should' but they don't and very few dealers have the tools to do so. A very high percentage of all spyders sold have incorrect alignment setting. (except those few sold by dealers that have made the investment for laser alignment tools).

If your bike has not been properly aligned, you would likely be very pleased with the end result of this upgrade.

Shortly after getting my new 2015 RT Limited, I learned about the laser alignment, and asked my dealer about it. I was told that they didn't know anything about it, so I called mike at Spyder Comfort in Edgewater Florida and he said sure, come on down. So, after a 100 mile ride, I can honestly say, the ride home was much nicer. Shortly after that I went back to the dealership and talked to the service manager, and he told me they had the laser alignment system but he didn't think it was worth the trouble and that they had never taken it out of the box.

Needless to say, I'm very concerned about my first service coming up soon.

Is there a way to know if the dealer did the laser alignment? Now a days I just don't trust anyone.. Dealers tend to lie a lot just to get people business..

Me too

Interesting solution. That is how I got my RT-S as well. I took my Honda ST-1300 in to have tires put on, and while I was waiting, I went into the showroom and looked at the Spyders. The dealer invited me to take a test drive, and...............

Never put 1 mile on the ST-1300 new tires, and have never looked back.
