What did you do to your Spyder today?

[NorwegianRT]

My best buddy came and picked me up on his KTM 1290 and drove me to his house, where my RT has been hibernating in his garage.
Finally got the rubber back on the ground and fired it up. Everything was working perfectly, but I do need a new battery for sure.
The ride home was great and sun was out too, for once!

Hoping for a great season!

Nothing, Still on Battery maintainer until next month.

I am in between snowmobile/and motorcycle season, we still have snow on the ground.

Came soooo close to uncovering and readying for Spring. Alas, not yet.

Nothing...

Because I'm on the poor, old, slow V-Max today doing a multi mountain pass ride with a friend on his Harley Sportster.
I'll be nice

Finally got up enough ambition to wake it from its long winter nap. The long and short distance machines

Took a nice long ride today, I didn't think the weather was going to warm up enough, but it made it to 79°, felt so good getting back on my Spyder after winter, l don't think its over though, it's supposed to be cold again, grrr, glad I got a ride in today...

I went on a 250 mile (round trip) ride to lunch with the local BMW club on my 2025 Canyon. When I got back I did the 7,500 mile oil change. I had the dealer do the first change at 1,000 miles because I was leaving on a long trip but this was the first change that I have personally done. I used a filter kit, 36 mm filter socket, and Big Bike Parts magnetic drain plugs from Lamonster and Rotella T6 5W40 from O'rileys. The stock drain plugs were incredibly tight and I was relieved to replace them with the stronger hex head replacements before something stripped. The new design brake reservoir retention spring (rather than tube) was a bit fiddley getting it back in but I figured it out, Everything else was pretty well routine. I used ramps and a trolley jack to lift the Canyon for this first service but will probably just do future changes on the ground because the Canyon has greater ground clearance than the Spyder and Ryker models and the hex head drain plugs are less likely to be problematic. Future oil changes will be at 7,500 mile intervals rather than 9,300 because the math will be easier.

Changed brake pads and flushed brake fluid. Researched the job online before I attempted it. Turns out the videos I watched were for the type of brake calipers that I DON'T have.

What should have taken a short while ended up taking me a few hours.

Many curse words were used and blood was spilled, though this is pretty normal for any mechanical work I do. In the end I have new brakes and a flashing light on my dash.

Yea! Fun!
