New 2014 Spyder RT-S Owner

[SpyderAunt]

Bought my new Pearl White RT-S Spyder on Friday and I love it!! I traded in my "training" bike (a 2009 Honda Rebel 250) and haven't looked back. The dealership told me about this forum and I know I will learn a lot from everyone's ryding experiences.

I've already got a question. Can anyone confirm that the Spyder will vibrate when you reach speeds of 75 mph? I was surprised that mine was vibrating and would like to know if this is normal. It did it on Saturday and Sunday.

Look forward to reading all the posts!

:congrats: :welcome: Yes it is normal at that speed and has been said that it is belt vibration. Although the laser alignment helped mine and doesn't do it until 58-62 and then 83-84 for me.

I'm sure thinking about it. Nothing like jumping in the deep end.

Welcome, belt vibration at 75 mph is pretty common on the 2014.

 

[Cruzr Joe]

Has anyone given you a "Gremlin Bell" yet ??

IF NOT, i would be proud if you would allow me to send you one, or if you are going to Spyderfest i can deliver it personaly.

In Texas, we have a saying, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could." It's the same for me and the Spyder ... I hadn't seen a Spyder until 3 weeks before I bought mine. So, I didn't start riding a Spyder, but I bought one as soon as I could. Thanks for confirming that it shouldn't vibrate. I'll take it back to the dealer this week. I had the laser alignment done before I picked it up, so it shouldn't have anything to do with that.

Welcome..!! Welcome..!!

To the roadster world and this amazing site. You will have vibrarsions at certain speeds. Some are harmonic and some from the extreemly long belt. But they should stop above or below that speed. Congrats on the new ryde your going to love more every ryde...:clap:hyea:

Belts vibrate due to there long length and the cross wind here in Texas. A Smooth belt adjuster, basically a pulley in the middle of the belt, makes a big difference.
Smoothspyder, a sponser on the home page works good.

Welcome and congrats, check out North Texas Spyder Riders, we have a group leaving Tuesday morning heading to Spyderfest.
