What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Revjames]

Installed Spyderpops "braker bars" but a bit differently. I installed them both on side of top case, basically horizontal. Tomorrow I install RGB engine lights and battery tender SAE connection. Thanks to Spyderpops and their great customer service! One LED for braker bars apparently had a short and they promptly shipped a replacement. Then when I unpacked rest of box with engine light I found the battery harness pack was missing. Another phone call and it should arrive in mail tomorrow (which is why I didn't install today)

“Floating pegs”

I put the Floating pegs/highway boards on my 2014. Easy to install and I really like being able to move my legs around.

Took the back wheel off and had the new Kumho Ecsta AST installed, then put it back on, got every thing buttoned back up and got a EBC, ABS error. Was like WTF, turned out that when I increased the gap between the brake pads by pushing in the piston a bit, the system did not like, even though I pressed on the brakes. Put it in reverse and started to back up and the pads made some weird sounds, then bingo no more sound or error codes. So I drove it around the paved area out side the garage and got up to 10 to 15 mph then stopped fast enough to almost leave the seat and no problem, took the wife for a 15 mph run around town and all was well no codes. So guessing the pads need to be firmly seated and in align, not cocked at an angle.

Cleaned the radiators of my F3T.
Soaked the bugs with spray bottle of peroxide and rinsed with a gentle flow from the garden hose.

Spent almost $200 getting a replacement (2nd) key!
1. Purchased a blank key for $60.
2. Went to get key cut.
3. Got directions jumbled and went to less than competent locksmith. $5
4. Realized there was no point in programming a key that would not work. Too pissed to do anything but go home.
5. Got another blank key and went to competent locksmith. Closed for the day. $60
6. Went to competent locksmith next day.
7. Got key cut. Yay! $5
8. Returned to shop for programming. $40
9. Hot fudge sundae to celebrate. $12.50

Big Sundae? Maybe? Hopefully? Bigger Ripoff than the key?

Put 3 gremlin bells on a friend's new Spyder.

Well, this happened on Saturday but I was putting heated grips on the wife's bike. In the video I watched (because the instructions are terrible), they say to sand down the plastic throttle. Boy were they not kidding. I sanded it down but between it being a tight fit, and having to use superglue, I ended up having to twist the new grip on. With all the force I had to use to get it on, the pin inside the throttle housing where the on/off switch is that goes in the hole in the handlebars, broke off. Suffice it to say, you can't buy the throttle assembly in individual parts. So that little pin that broke set me back $265. Had to buy the whole throttle assembly but will only use that part that broke. Now that stinks if you ask me.

Sounds like something I would do. I can relate.

Installed Speed Bleeders and changed the brake fluid.

Installed Speed Bleeders and changed the brake fluid.

Did you go with standard or stainless bleeders? Ordering mine tomorrow. Speed Bleeders says the SS version have better check valving, but at 2x the cost, they have to say something

 

[Haze]

Speed Bleeders.
I used the Brass colored SB6100 M6 x 10.
They work fine for me.

Got the heated grips on the wife's Ryker. So far, she loves them.

Changed oil and rode the Nebo Loop for fall colors. It was just beautiful. Stopped at the Red Barn in Santaquin for ice cream. Perfect end to a perfect day.
