I dunno Mike, my 2013 RT was serviced by a (now defunct) dealer here in South Aust, & the mirror they broke the top pellet on didn't fall off until I'd ridden almost 20 odd miles of the trip home!! It was only held on by a very carefully & tightly packed wad of duct tape wadded into the top pellet position before the mirror was jammed on & (I'd guess) held there until it stuck!! But I didn't notice anything untoward until the vibrations in that mirror started getting worse than normal once I left the Hwy & hit the rougher roads; from then on I was watching it pretty carefully so that when it finally peeled off & began to fall I managed to catch it before it went too far!! :shocked: Good thing our 'new' Dealer here is a whole lot better!
So Bytemi, as Pete says, here's hoping they are all just minor ailments which (can & do) happen to ALL machines at some time; there's no need to get too worried at the first little thing! I'd even go so far as to say that
most 2nd hand vehicles have some 'little niggles' like these that need working thru & sorting early in the piece, but once they all get sorted, then the rest of the vehicles' life
generally turns out pretty good & usually fairly trouble free!! There aren't all that many vehicles (or Spyders) on the over-all scheme of things that reveal themselves to be absobloodylute lemons!! So don't worry too much & bring trouble down on yourself, rather, put it out there to the universe that
this Spyder is going to be a good thing for you that behaves & works well; besides, you've already paid your 'trouble' dues, you don't need or warrant any more! Think positive,
be positive, & positively enjoy it! :thumbup:
Ryde More - Worry Less! :yes:
(And keep an eye on this space for a simple & innovative 'fix' for those pesky mirror pucks or pellets or whatever the stupid mounting system is called!!
)
n your new spyder. Sorry to hear about the oil leak, hopefully it's minor. As stated in other numerous posts-your are a warrior keep on riding and you and Peanut will become 1. Dale
