Replaced my rear tire on my RT LIM. last week with a YOKOHOMA S-DRIVE from Discount Tire. Took wheel off of machine myself and took to POMP's tire,they could mount but not balance. So off to the SPYDER dealer I go. 4 hours later(when they could work me in) I'm $88.00 leaner(mt./bal./disposal/tax), so we will see what kind of mileage we can get out of it. Question- has anyone had any kind of bearing issues on the 2014 machines?? When I had wheel off, checked for roughness/end play,all seemed to roll smoothly.Did not notice anything unusual. Ride safe all!!:yes:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Some of the rear tires on the 2014's only lasted 4,000 miles. You did well.

$88.00 to mount and balance when you already had it off the machine?:yikes:

5600 miles on mine, when it needed replacing. :shocked:
Bearings: I think that they used to say, 20,000 miles, and then replace them...
But I don't remember the source of that tidbit...

6,000 on the rear when I changed it. Fronts have 17,000 on them and are still fine. $88 was a bit much on a tire changeout. Guess that they figured if they couldn't sell you another crappy tire, they'd make it in labor. Still doesn't make it right though...

$88.00 for mount, balance, disposal & tax is absurd... I would never step in that "stealership" again..

I got 12K out of my rear tire but it's a 2011 RTS so it was a older Kenda.
I too went with the Yokohama S drive. Loving it so far!
As for the bearings, 2014 I do not believe changed anything with the rear tire setup over other RT's. I also just did a feel and visual of my rear bearings and seals and all was good. Since I am sure you and I will both be getting more than 12K out of this Yoko, I am going to check my bearings again at 24K or maybe even earlier when I go to do the brakes.
