Brake oil tank

[xpbqn]

Does anyone has loose caps on the brake fluid tank? Mine is loose and I do see some comes out from time to time.

 

[Bob Denman]

Did you pop that cap off to see what sort of shape the gasket is in?

It always helps when you tell us what kind of Spyder you have, what year it is, etc.

I did. Just a ring of rubber on each cap, like any other. But it's not tight

 

[Bob Denman]

I only had mine off once, to add some fluid, but it did tighten down completely... :shocked:
Is it stripped? :yikes:

My bad. I have 2012 RS-S

No, definitely not stripped. It's tighten down and stays, but I don't feel the pressure of the rubber ring.

 

[Bob Denman]

This might best be dealt with by the dealer. It should tighten down, and leakage is unthinkable! :yikes:

Careful, Brake fluid will corrode any thing it touches, and fast.:shocked:

Called the dealer. Heading there tomorrow.

 

[Bob Denman]

The Best of Luck to you! Please let us know what they find... :thumbup:

What bolts?

Bolt holes may not be tapped all the way, someone put the wrong length bolt on that unit, something in the bolt hole, bolt not threaded all the way.

Very strange situation there. Let us know what the fix is.

:hun: What bolts Ron?

My bad, brain malfunction. Thanks for catching that. Can I get a Mulligan on that one? pps:

 

[coz]

reservoir caps

mine have been leaking for a while. i just ordered new ones from our local dealer. 21.95 plus shipping.

 

[Chupaca]

Sounds like the mounting screws may be too long. Maybe the o-ring is the wrong thickness. Cap should set on the reseviour with a gap then compress. :thumbup:

My surprise

Sure you can. Your answer just caught me by surprise. Generally you offer sound advise and thoughtful opinions and I wondered where that answer came from.

 

[xpbqn]

Well, the dealer said that was just overfilled.

But, to me, how the hell the dealer overfilled it? Careless...

My 2012 RS-S came to me with the low beams set for coon hunting. When I would drive at night people thought I had my high beams on. You think they would check these things eh? No big deal though, easy adjustment and allows me to get a little closer to my spyder.

If I were you, I would adjust it a little lower depending on how heavy you are. 'Cause your weight + setting low beams a little high will shoot the light up sky and will hurt oncoming vehicles.

Oh, yeah, they'll check those things for you.

Just my 2 cents.
