Great fun, an absolute joy to ride... no codes, minor events.
One the road, at 35 or 75, she runs hot, straight and normal... like a torpedo. It feels as if I could let go of the handlebar grips and cruise forever. No hunting, wandering, etc.
I put the IsoGrips for the Goldwing on Uly because my hands are so big. I turned on the grip heaters by accident... the grips became uncomfortably warm. It was 59 one morning and was riding in the shape of some trees for a few miles. Even on low, the grips were too warm; I would turn them off for a while and then back on. No idea what they would be like if it was 40 degrees- I suspect that they would be at least adequate.
I get a lot of compliments on the Circuit Yellow color.
So, no gripes at all. Uly is running great. No codes, no concerns, no regrets, no second thoughts. She is a winner! So glad I'm a Spyder RT-S owner.
- The immersive gasoline smell has been significantly reduced. It seems one day I scraped on a speed bump (I remember the incident) and knocked the hose off the Evap canister. The tech, on my 600 mile service, identified and resolved that problem.
- Once, when starting the engine, I noticed that the LED screen went blank (white background and black vertical stripes). The situation resolved and did not repeat. Sometimes, when starting, the starter motor and gear engagement sound “different”. The tech, at the 600 mile service found loose battery connections. Connections tightened and the behaviors have not repeated.
- Also, on 600 mile service, they did the heat mitigation recall and replaced my Heim links.
- I switched over to BRP full synthetic rather than the blend; I'll be running full synth from now on.
