I rode a 2015 Spyder RT SE6 today and really liked the way it rode and handled to the point where I'm considering buying one. I also spent an hour talking to the service tech that works on the Can Am's. Was able to get alot of valuable insight on the bike. I currently ride a 2007 Goldwing with a Lehman Monarch II straight axle kit. A few questions for the folks that have Spyders-
1.Oil changes at the dealership are $300. Do any of you do your own oil changes? Is it fairly simple? An oil change on the Goldwing cost me $35 and takes 15 minutes.
2. Since the valves don't require adjustments, is there anything else that you need to take the bike in for service?
3. I was told that the factory tires last around 6000 miles. Huge difference compared to the Goldwing trike. VEE Rubber has tires for the Spyder. Has anyone used them and what type of mileage are you getting from them?
4. Gas mileage. What are you guys averaging?
Thanks in advance.
