Is it just my immagination or

[stutzmason]

does the Spyder seem to run better when it has a fresh oil change and a full tank of gas. I mean it always runs great but it seems to me that it shifts smoother and runs like a bat outta hell. Maybe I just am less worried knowing that I have 3000 miles before the next oil change, but it sure seems to run better.

don't know about the oil change, but mine runs better with a full tank of gas. :yes:

My mechanic told me that the spyder will shift better because the same oil for the motor works for the transmission.

Don't know about the full tank of gas. But I do notice smoother shifting with an oil change. My Spyder doesn't shift as smooth now, though, as it did when it was new. Or, maybe I'm just getting used to it.

It's your imagination.

Serioulsy though I feel the same way. I think it's just a good feeling to know nice, new clean oil is in the engine.

Hmmm

As long as I keep my oil level within a range, no difference in shifting.
Full tank just gets me further
My runs like mad in a good way when colder, not so good in high temps, I think it's because my engine believes that it's in a skidoo :yes:

After having the oil changed the first time, I did notice that shifting was a lot smoother.

Agreed. I notice a smoother running /shifting spyder each oil change and smoother still when I did the full synth. That is why I don't go beyond 3k.

Happiness is fresh oil and a clear conscience...

Oil Change

OIL CHANGE? Nobody told me I had to change the oil:yikes:

Just add gas and go. Oh dear.....

Really, you don't need to change oil at all .... Putting a new motor in every so often works just as well! Don't believe me? Ask Doc! :roflblack:

Noticed mine runs bad ass after oil change. Gas? I switched over to di-lithium crystals a while ago.
