I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE Kalispell DEALER was behind in their payments. They were always very reliable and helpful to me.

My son-in-law is the assist. Mgr. at the Black Oak Casino near Sonora, CA. He remarked how polite and well mannered the Spyder riders were at the get together, last month. Just thought I'd share...
Well, folks, we, here in Montana have been left "out in the cold".
Without any notice to Spyder owners, BRP has removed the Spyder inventory from the only two dealers in this state: Great Falls and...
YEARS AGO, WHILE LOOKING FOR A HEATED VEST, I HAD THE SAME NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH GERBING!Very difficult to contact, and a bad attitude toward my inquiry, when I did finally reach them! I wear a...
I store my Spyder in my enclosed, attached garage, but still had mouse issues at first. Then, I read about MOTH BALLS on this forum, and have used them for 6 years without any more mice, spiders,...
To answer the question "what is the average age?":
I guess my AVERAGE age is about 66. My body is 83, but my mind is only 50, so 66.. LOL LOL

Anyone dumb enough to sit on that Spyder probably couldn't read the sign!!!

Having been a Suzuki dealer in MT for years, I can tell you that there is no substitute for a well trained, honest Service Dept. It can make all the difference in a dealership!

I PUT MOTH BALLS IN PLASTIC "BUTTER CUPS" UNDER MY SPYDER, AND IN THE 4 CORNERS OF THE GARAGE. NO MORE MICE, AND NO MORE FLIES, ANTS, CRICKETS, ETC! THE STUFF IS MAGIC!

THE ASYLUM IS NOW BEING RUN BY THE INMATES!!

I've used GRIP PUPPIES for years, now, and THEY ARE GREAT. They eliminate vibration, increase grip diameter, allow the heated grips to warm your hands, shed water, and are easy to install. Oh, and...
I HAVE TWO AIRHAWK R'S, AND LOVE THEM. ONE FOR THE ATV, AND ONE FOR THE SPYDER. eBAY HAS THEM, AND SO DOES AMAZON, I THINK. AND, REMEMBER: NOT TOO MUCH AIR. YOU SIT "IN" THEM, NOT "ON" THEM. ...
I wholeheartedly appreciate the helpful comments, and the UNHELPFUL ONES, too, in the vein in which each was meant.

I ordered 2 pr. of base layer riding shorts, called "HEAT OFF" from Amazon. They were shipped to me from Cycle Gear, and they arrived on time, but upon examination, I found they didn't have a fly!! ...
You say "SRT", but do you mean RT S? I have an RT S.

Here's a tip that really works: If you park your Spyder in a garage, or other enclosed space, put out some MOTH BALLS, in "butter cups", near your Spyder. They will keep all those unwanted critters...
I've been using the AirHawk- R ever since they came out on my FJR1300, my ATV, and Spyder. If adjusted properly (air), they work great ... to prevent back and hip pain. Highly recommended!

When you replace your rear tire be sure and have an 85 degree valve stem installed (and FACING TO THE RIGHT!). SURE DOES MAKE IT EASY!!

[QUOTE=Blade;1094659]HI, I was just wondering if anyone's spyder failed inspection because of having non-Dot lights on your spyder. I have purchased fender lights and turn signal and now told that...
The Spyder is a good choice for you. I agree with all these other posts.

THE SPYDER "POWER STEERING" ONLY ACTIVATES (WORKS) WHEN YOU'RE MOVING. NOT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
Hence the word "DYNAMIC".

Be sure to pick up the Montana fishing regs. before dipping a hook. We've been in draught conditions for the past 2 or 3 years, and the regs. have changed. Some waters are closed in July and...
Being an old aircraft tech, I would think that both weight and balance would be thrown off when using the trailer hitch box with a load of stuff. As an option, I've used a set of textile saddlebags...
I live out of town in the country (Montana), and we have field mice on our property. I park the Spyder in an enclosed garage, but they still got in! SO ........ I started using MOTH BALLS. I put...
I can feel your pain! I owned a Basset Hound, and am now on my second Beagle, so I know what you're talking about. LOL LOL But, ya gotta forgive 'em! They're great friends, and, after all,...
I bought my 2011 RT-S SE-5 from The Kalispell dealer back in 2011. I had a good experience with them, but they have changed ownership a couple times since then. My last visit, for service, was in...
I HAVE THE SAME BELT GUARD, AND IT WORKS GREAT. However, when I replaced the rear Kenda tire with a new Kumho, I got the same hum at speed. Turns out the guard was rubbing on the wall of the new...
My new 2011 RT came with the tool kit tucked behind the rear wall of the fabric frunk liner. Un - zip it, and it's right there.
Happy hunting.

I've been riding for over 45 years, and tried a Shoei way back when, but it was always too tight, and really uncomfortable. Have been wearing HJC ever since, changing out every 3 or 4 years. They...
