Just bought a 2015 RTL and need help

[JackB]

I've had Wings all my life and just bought this RTL. I can't find the damn kickstand! What idiot would make a motorcycle and forget to put a kickstand on it?
In the words of the President "Sad".

 

[YIRYDE]

Read the owners manual

Kickstand?:shocked:... These things are supposed to have a kickstand??!!!:joke:

 

[Grandpot]

It's next to the spare tire on the right side.

 

[Chupaca]

Really

Your did not have one...:yikes: did you check to see if it is attached to your ankle....:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Welcome to the spyder world and this sometimes informative site...:2thumbs:

 

[ARtraveler]

:welcome: and :congrats: on your new ryde. I am betting you will be just fine without the kickstand. :roflblack::roflblack:

I can't find the damn kickstand!

When I was riding my first Spyder home, I came to a red light. Frantically, I tried to put a foot down to keep the bike upright! Not possible! OMG! What to do! After a bit, it came to me that the tryke was still upright, without a foot (or leg) to support it.

You will get used to it.

Although, I can't imagine how people who ride both the Spyder and a "normal" 2 wheel bike manage it.

By the way, WELCOME! :clap::yes:

Drink enough of the BRP koolaid and check back later.

Yup! I kept reminding myself that I didn't need to put my feet down the first few times I got on my spyder. I had to laugh at myself that I had the urge to do so.:roflblack::roflblack:

Don't worry about the kickstand. Just keep practicing duck-walking it like other bikes.

Well, if you're missing the kickstand, you better check your Blinker fluid too!

Kickstands are the most commonly stolen parts off of Spyders, so the majority of Spyders no longer have them. They're considered valuable mementos, especially among jealous onlookers, and it's suspected that most of the thieves are HD owners.

Welcome Spyder newbie!

And if you need some blinker fluid, you'll want to get this stuff.

They also have a variety of other things too like muffler bearings and flux capacitors.

Don't forget to get some seasonal air too for your tires. You don't want to be running winter air in them during the summer. Very bad for the rubber!:roflblack:

Brake handle

For 3 months, every time I went to stop, my right fingers would go straight out and try to apply the front brake. I still do it sometimes.

Kick stand

The last owner either lost it or the dealer forgot to get it out of the crate when they put it together. Of course it may be in the left saddle bag with the tire jack. :congrats: on the new ride :riding:

Thanks so much for posting this. I really wanted the updated flux capacitor, but couldn't find it ANYWHERE! :dg1:
