Very kind of your neighbors to give you a guardian bell!
He and his wife are great! If only I had their ambition at that age...
We have two guardian bells on our Spyder, one on each side. I too was a firefighter in aviation for 27 years & loved it, until a car accident finished my career! But I do still miss it & the comradely of my coworkers.
Ride safe , regards Stephen Alberta Canada.
Thank you Stephen!
How wonderful your fire department puts on this breakfast! Awesome! Glad you are liking that new camera. I have a 360 but decided it's not for me...yet...maybe someday. Paint on tupperware...hmmm...not sure what would help with those spots...hope you find something. Was going to ask my dad but he does car paintig stuff.
I'm sure someone will watch this that has dealt with the exact same thing and will comment. One can hope anyways...
I believe in answering every comment too, no matter how many comments. Your channel is fast growing...you've been doing a great job!
Thank you! I stay up late sometimes responding to comments even after wifey wants me to go to bed...
@@Y-DER well, sometimes it takes me a few days to answer. 😁💜
The Spyder is looking great! I'm a brother fire fighter as well. FF/EMT 30 yrs retired form Sarasota County Fl. Hoping to get me a Spyder later this year. Keep up the great informative videos
Thank you! I really appreciate it. I have zero regrets with the Spyder or being a firefighter.
I hate having extra parts left over lol. Glad you figured out where those extra bolts went!
Me too! I could just imagine the frunk letting loose going down the express way at 70 and hitting me upside the head...
@@Y-DER yeah, that may hurt a little, lol!
Heckuva good turnout for fundraiser breakfast, good stuff. The 360 camera can be a lot of fun, and gives you so much flexibility to choose the angles you want, and sometimes you capture footage you didn't notice while riding. It was a game changer for me. The Spyder is looking great 😁👍👍
Thank you Wayne! I'm still sore. I'm sure I flipped about 250 omelets myself.
From the last "acceleration" looks like you might enjoy the "Pedal Commander" on your bike, it just makes the bike come alive😎😎
I think a pedal commander is on the short list of projects that I must do!
You’re doing a great job on the old girl. If BRP can’t get car play working I may try and put your car play on my 2018RTL. Keep up the good work.
From what I’ve been told, the CarPlay device I have has more functionality than the built-in on the 24 is going to have
Hi Adam, you have done an amazing job putting the Spyder back on the road. 👍😀
My wife gave me my gremlin bell with a Chihuahua on it. We had 3 Chihuahuas at one time so the bell was in their memories. I mounted mine on the front lower shock bolt. Can still see it and still does its job 😎
I would like to see you do a video of an oil and filter change on your Spyder. I do my own maintenance also but I don’t do videos. Could help someone else though that would like to do it themselves. Thanks
Ryde safe and God Bless
Artie
Thank you Artie! I will be doing the Oil Change video next.
I didn't know you were a firefighter in your extra time - thanks for that service! Your videos make me want to take my Spyder apart more LOL - I just need more ability and time to do it. Anyway good video and ride safe.
Thank you!
I like those Guardian Bell stories Another Great Vlog Brother ... I took my F3 out for a Rip the other day & found I had a Flat Spot. It's been sitting in the Garage for that long ... I've been giving all my attention to my new Yamaha GP1800R WaveRunner since I bought it I don't think my F3 likes it Lol 😁 Ryde Safe Mate 👍😎👊
Thanks Beanie! My SeaDoo is about to go up for sale. The water is only warm enough here for a couple months. I'm hoping to find another project Spyder to repair. An F3 SM6 is still at the top of my list... Cheers Brother!
@@Y-DER I hope you find an F3 SM6 Brother ... That would be Awesome!! 👍👍👍
great video mate .Chris,Lynnia ,France.
Thank you!
One idea for something to show... I have 2 pair of handlebars that came with the Spyder when I bought it. I'd love to see a video on how to swap those handlebars out and how you handle the controls and such. I have a 2020 Spyder RTL
Mine are pitted with corrosion and it is in the future plan to replace. It would be a bit different on a 2020 though. CarPlay device covers the corrosion for now...
Possible light sanding followed by a good buffing. I have used chemical guys products and have found them very good but I guess it's personal choice at the end of the day.
I will look into that
I’m not sure this will help with your pine-sap problem but it sure won’t hurt. I suggest that you use a clay bar (not sure it will get rid of the sap residue but it will sure get rid of the dirt and grit that gets embedded in the paint), then use a good rubbing compound made especially for plastic. Meguire’s PlastX is an excellent choice but there are several other great products that will do the same thing. It’s mildly abrasive but if you follow the directions the results are excellent. You can use your buffer but I would only use very light pressure, applying by hand usually gives better results. Wash the Can-Am well and put a good coat of wax. As I said, this may not get rid of all the sap residue but will definitely make it look shinier!
I hadn't thought of the clay bar, but makes perfect sense. I will check it out. Thank you!
@@Y-DER You’re welcome!
Hand sanitizer works
Hope you meet your goals on the fundraiser. Can’t give you any advice on the paint but a simple warning that it is EXTREMELY thin. I have a few spot that the cover has worn the paint off. Good job on the subscribers. Would like to see a more in depth repair vid if possible. Good job getting it up to snuff in time for your riding season. Yada yada yada
Thank you. I believe the goal was met. The paint looks super thin from a couple scratches I have in the frunk lid. I think I just need to buy a broken F3 to fix so I can do some more repair videos. Also I think the Insta360 is your fault... yada yad yada
@@Y-DER lol maybe I’m at fault. I’m pisseed that I got the x3 and then they just came out with the x4. But what’s a guy to do . If you have the time and money to rebuild things you will surely grow your channel . Have you considered just repainting your trike? I repainted a car once and it wasn’t all that difficult .
@@SIRyker I feel like I would need a much larger garage to take on a paint job
@@Y-DER probably not buddy you will have to take all the plastic parts off and paint them separately . Spray as you go lol.
My buddy used Dawn dish soap and green spray With a Magic Eraser
That’s worth a shot.
@@Y-DER just do it on a little spot first.
And some riders put the guardian bell on their handle bars lol
It is kind of sad that I can't see this extremely thoughtful gift. I do like hearing it ding though.
Adam, how do you suppose those screens got all bent up?
I'm betting whatever the guy hit in the process of putting 130k on it that broke all the plastic pushed inward on the screens. Nothing a big hammer couldn't fix.
@@Y-DER big hammers and duct tape should be in everyone's tool box!
Boring!!!! Yeah it's nice to talk the talk, but show how you accomplished the repairs
I'm sorry you were disappointed in the content of the video. The repairs on this one were extremely mundane unlike the Spyder engine teardown I did in previous videos that were very detailed. I appreciate the feedback.
