Tachometer malfunction
It seems that the analog tachometer isn't working correctly; but the digital readout seems perfectly fine. I don't think the RPMs go up that high!
I need to call my local dealer.

Tachometer
I have the opposite problem with the 2011 RT. After a few miles the Analog Tach reads 1000, the digital seems to be working properly. Dealer unable to replicate in 2 minutes and not willing to repair problem.

But, Whenever a dealer tells me that, My stock answer to them is ;
Write it down so when another Spyder comes in with the same problem, you can say , Your the second one we seen like that and we know how to fix it.

This happen to me twice with my RT. The face of the tach bubbled up causing the needle to get stuck. Dealership replaced the whole dash twice. Third one has been a charm so far! I guess a new dash cost around $700, thank goodness for warranties! You can see where the needle has scraped against the face of the tach, so if your dealer could not replicate it point out the scrape marks (if any) and have them replace it.

Tach issues
John and I are still on the road from leaving Seattle to Spyderfest. What a trip so far. We are currently in Tombstone,Az heading for Alpine,Az. In the AM, hopefully all the forest fires do not reroute us on our way to Albuquerque,NM.
My tack went south about 2 weeks ago and the CB is another subject. GPS voice all garbeld. As this trip would have been nicer if John and I could have communicated as he is on a GW Trike. I still have an oil leak on driver left side that I hopefully can have fixed in Albq. Speaking of, does anyone have recomendations of a good Dealer in Albq. Sorry for Longer post than intended. Yes I would purchase another Spyder, this is my second, this is being the RT.
PS; We have been running in Temps. On average of 98 Plus. 5 bars max temp.

I guess another fire broke out up by Eager, CO (Just north of Alpine). Hope this link helps out with your AZ travels:

We have the same issue with 2011 RT

We have the same issue with our 2011 RT-S. It's seems to act-up the most when the outside temperature is anywhere above 80. I'll print this post out and take it to the dealer, plus take a picture the next time it happens. Thanks for the ideas!

There seems to be enough of these issues happening that perhaps the term "isolated incident" no longer applies...

Happens on my 2011 RT S also. Not sure if mine is the tach needle sticking tho. Sometimes going through the start up (needle swing) will fix it sometimes not. Sometimes it just sits where it it and sometimes the needle deflects but shows a much higher RPM I just washed the trike and let it sit in the sun to dry. Took it for a short spin and now it's in the garage cooling off so I'll see if that fixes it. Also sometimes it does it while driving. I'll look down and see the needle "stuck" Annoying but not critical.
