That was funny about the dude's shirt! :thumbup:

 

[Roaddog2]

The most annoying thing for Smylinacha and I, is that every time we go for a ride, Roaddog wants to go with us.:banghead: We're running out of excuses....:doorag:

I have alot of new friends :banghead:

At least the Dude wears one

The brake squeal is at the top of the list. Can you imagine if evry vehicle sounded like this one when it comes to a stop? The Spyder is now on it's second year and we still have the same problem.
As I said about the SE5's, BRP needs to step up and take responsibility!

I am fanatical about checking and changing oil in all my vehicles. I am used to checking it before I ride, with the engine cool, and just looking through a sight glass, or popping the hood. Having to wait until it's warm and then fighting with those BeJesus clips, just to check the oil is a bit annoying, as well as having to pull all those panels off to change it.

:agree:I feel like I have to take it apart to just check the oil.

the most annoying thing about the spyder is I cant decide on a color to paint it.

 

[Star Cruiser]

Yeah, it would have been so easy for them to put in a sight glass and a peep hole, wouldn't it?

Now THAT would have been a great idea. No need to take her upright off of the kick stand either.
I wish the parking brake was just a little longer so I could engage/disengage it while seated. I am thinking i will lengthen it just about another inch or two.

 

[shunkmanitu]

Yes----

Anyone else have an annoyance?


People that know all about Spyders without ever riding one. They are right up there with the "I used to ride but had to lay one down to AVOID an accident!" people.

I agree that the oil checking is a pain. More annoying than the scrolling safety message or the brake squeal (which my dealer has fixed using BRP's recommended procedure).

I have to agree, it is very irritating to speak with "onlookers" that know it all, especially when they have negative remarks. That doesn't happen often but when it does, it just grinds me.

 

[aubierules]

Even though I've gotten use to it I hate the safety message you have to click through before you start the Spyder.:spyder:

me too!!!!

Waiting for the next cool new thing from NMN!

Waiting for my cash reserves to build up enough to buy the next goody for my mods.

I can't decide between the women at every stop light with their constant barrage of under garments and house/hotels keys or the european supermodels that stand out in front of my house 24/7.

 

[Blackwidow74]

My thing is the way the braking system slows me down when I am going around the curves in the mountain. It feels like I have a baby sitter.:banghead:

 

[AMTJIM]

I find my body position just as extreme as a track bike when enjoying technical areas and sweeping curves at an expedient pace...I'm only limited by the reach of my outside arm. The braking system doesn't activate once you find the groove. It reminds me of sidecar racing for one or catamaran sailing.
