Spyder RT-S Handle Bar Control Cluster -- Loose?

[Marker]

I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

I've noticed on my '10 Spyder RT-S that the left-hand control cluster ... the cluster that includes the mode button, turn signal control, windscreen adjustment, mode-directional up/down/left/right ... seems loose. It's not 'flopping around' or anything and all the external screws are in place, while there was some room to tighten a little. The 'looseness' means that the assembly is able to move up/down around its axis on the handle bar by aobut 1/4 to 3/8th inch. Its position affects how solidly my thumb hits the turn signal. I try to nudge the cluster position to it's highest point which works the best. But is this normal, and if it isn't how does one tighten its position on the the steering/handle bar?

*Help*?

Thanks

Hi

I had the exact same issue as you are experiencing and the cluster would not tighten when my dealer tried to tighten it . My dealer had to replace the cluster under warranty and now the new cluster is tight and does not move. You need to contact your dealer and have your :ani29:'s cluster replaced

It may not hurt anything, but it sure can leave a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, or distract you and possibly cause an accident. When it gets bad, and you go to push a control like the headlight dimmer, windshield height, or kill switch, and the darned thing moves away from you rather than performing the required function, it is unsafe...IMO. I would lean on the dealer for replacement or an alternate, permanent fix.

My dealership replaced it under warranty. They got a service bulletin on it I believe..

Same here.

Losse handlebar Control cluster

Some of the torx bolts which secures both halfs of the handlebar cluster together have started to become rounded off -
Just wanted to ensure they are fully screwed up
I would like to replace and damaged ones - can someone just confirm the size needed

e.g M4 X 20 or M5 x 15 etc

Just want to make sure I get the correct size so I can replace any as a straight swap out

Thanks
