Re: Two questions.
Well, sure---but guys like us have always had to be careful about that.

I have heard of some riders that just run the line out the bottom of their pant leg, and just stretch out their leg as they pee going down the road.khittner1 wrote:Probably a "dealer accessory" that flies off the shelves at most Can-Am Spyder shops.

I've read that as an Iron Butt time saving technique. Just slow down a little, stand on the pegs and let it flow!Rob wrote:I have heard of some riders that just run the line out the bottom of their pant leg, and just stretch out their leg as they pee going down the road.khittner1 wrote:Probably a "dealer accessory" that flies off the shelves at most Can-Am Spyder shops.

Reckon I might hook up one of those wee devices to just above my tail light. I could piss on cars that tail gate.

Re: Two questions.
I want to thank all of you for the valuable hints and tips. (those related to my questions). I finally inspected the bike and got a test ride. I really 'NEEDED' this RS. Until the inspection and test ride.
Wow! You guys saved me dinero. The bike was rough. And it ran rough. According to the meter it was not charging. He said it was charging earlier in the day. He said the guy before him (three years) had it serviced. The throttle was sticky. He said it was supposed to be that way so you can take your hands off the bars. Much more I could tell you. But it all could be corrected, given time and money.
BUT...................The geometry was really wrong for me. Riding the bike made me laugh! My eyebrows got in the way looking at the road. I'll keep riding what I have.

Re: Two questions.
Nuthin' like a test ride to answer some questions.
It sounds like the throttle stop screw was on.
