Just returned from a tour of Sanibel, Okeechobee, back to Orlando with the 622 in tow. Road through a thunderstorm on 75 at night and felt safe on the RT. Lots of blow back oil on the '22. Clear oil on the garage floor after parked for a day or two. Anyone else see this?

I just purchased a new Spyder RTS trike last weekend and I've noted a problem with heat hitting the right side drivers foot. It gets “Very uncomfortable” to the point where I can’t keep my foot on the peg all the time or risk getting burned and I can’t believe this is normal from the factory. I've been made aware that there are after market fixes for this, but the way I look at it is after market fixes are alright for a used bike, but I’d feel better if this were addressed by the factory as it seems to be a definite manufacturer design flaw with their trike. So, I gave BRP a call ( 1-888-864-2002 ) and explained this scenario with the heat on my brand new trike. They opened a case file and asked that I bring it back to the folks at Central Florida Power Sports where I purchased the new trike to get an official inspection report from an authorized service center, which I will be doing this weekend in hopes of a permanent solution.
I've been riding motorcycles and other recreational vehicles for over 40 years and have never experienced anything like this before, so I'm curious to know if this is a common issue with "all Spyder's" and would appreciate other owners input on this subject. Thank You

Biketoberfest SRA CF Meet, Eat, & Ryde Oct 20th SAT 11:30am Cracker Barrel Old Country - 125 Interchange Blvd Ormond Beach, FL 32174
Jim Gerdes will lead a group from Melbourne Area. Hal BikerDoc will lead a group over from Orlando area. Please notify them if you plan to attend so they can design meeting place(s) for ryde in. Once we eat in Daytona we will offer a guided ryde around the Ormond Scenic Loop . With the traffic from the Speedway it is almost impossible to do a group ryde that goes any further into the vendor zone so we feel the scenic ryde will offer the best chance for us to ryde and have fun together. Of course individuals or smaller groups may want to visiit vendor sites. Perhaps visiting the Speedway vendor site after our scenic ryde would be a good place for us to join up for the ryde home.
We look forward to a great get together and some serious ryding.
