Finally Picked-up Red RT-S SE5

[REDSPY]

Well, it's been a long time coming but the Red RT-S SE5 is finally home in the garage. Started in February with a dealer in NC and they kept me waiting week and after week for delivery with no delivery so I went to a dealer in Hanover PA that had one in stock ready to go. I think I made a good choice as the delivery was great and I have to say everything works, Radio, CB, XM with no problems coming through the headset and or speakers. Installed the GPS cable yesterday and the GPS is working great as well with good volume control.

After the frist 100 miles, one think I do have to question is a singing noise at 41-42 MPH. Sound like my old car with a worn ring and pinion. Not sure if it's the belt as this in the first bike I've owned with a belt drive. Any suggestions would be appreciaited.

I'm going to say it's is the belt. My GS has been doing it 3 years now, every time i adjust the belt it just changes where the wine comes on,
I just live with it

I am beginning to think it's good to be a bit old and hard of hearing.. I think I may have all kinds of problems with my Spyder but I can't hear them so I just go on riding and having fun...

Excellent color choice! We'll be getting a Red RT-S ourselves next year (unless they come out with a color we like better between now and a year from now).

As for the sound... sounds like a belt to me.

Red is a nice choice. If the wife gets the bug for a Spyder after she gets her MC endorsement and safety course I expect she will be wanting a new Spyder or Thorobred Stallion.

It's offical. Got my new License Plate today.

I agree a red :spyder2: is a head turner. :congrats:
