• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I find I get almost as wet with gear on as without from sweating. Took the ole girl up to the car wash today to get the crud off it. Also changed the oil in prep for winter. Never put it up on the jack yet, thinking I may get another short ride in before hibernation.

    Cold rain... the great equalizer. :-)

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    LOL, I do my damnest to avoid rain. If man was meant to ride in the rain, we wouldn't have invented rainsuits. :-) Besides, the rain was bad enough but the hail was the icing on the cake.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I've got to have at least one more ride on mine. Got caught in a hail/rainstorm Friday afternoon and the rig is covered in crap. I'd like to wash it before I put it away and I've already got my outside tap shut off and drained so I'll be taking it to a carwash.

    Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

    I'm in Nova Scotia, I've got a plate each for both my truck and bike

    Wonder how this happened, So Sad.

    Whatever AI does to this type of video is ridiculous, 90% of the time the video or pics don't even match the narrative.

    New Member Intro & Questions re Upcoming Purchase Decision

    Reason I switched to a Spyder sounds to be the same as you, knees and hip (I'm 70) had a hard time supporting my previous ride, a Kawi Voyager. It was an awesome bike and handled like a dream, hated to sell it Would I do it again, yep. Only complaint I have, on mine anyway is, being used to...

    Pitbull lift - where can I find a bolt in bottle jack?

    It may be an optical illusion but it looks to me like the socket for the end of the jack to set into is off center. It's just a regular 1-1/2 or 2 ton bottle jack isn't it or am I missing something obvious?

    Am I being too cheap by Not changing the filters on a low milage oil change?

    I know where you're coming from and understand your rationale, but I think its false economy. If you're changing the oil, what's another <$30 for a filter. Different vehicle but my neighbour is the same way re his lawn tractor. He puts about 20-30 hours on it a year and changes the oil every...

    How do you contact 7Jurock windshields? Shipping times?

    Apologies I never followed up with my purchase from GP. It arrived 3-4 weeks later as expected, the extra charges upon arrival for being a Canuk were 14% HST and the UPS ripoff fee of $100 for brokerage fees aka nothing fees, neither was GP's fault. Apparently there's no duty on motorcycle...

    Anyone else notice the number of low mileage used Spyders on Marketplace? Any ideas why?

    I'm thinking it's people bought them and don't/can't get used to the different handling, the twitchyness for lack of a better word. I will admit when I bought mine, never being on one before, I was seriously considering getting rid of it the first week. After reading the tips, on this site...

    Can anyone help me source a New Windscreen from 7Jurock?

    The report of poor communication from a member here is why I bought mine from GP Cycleworks. https://gpcycleworks.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorY25eTz2nVloDehjikfw-THsYS3u2ZRAphx_DS207WUT3SZbsb . Communication was awesome before, during and after sale.

    My 2014 ST SM5 Project

    If it were me, I'd start with the basics. Compression on all cylinders the same or close to? With it running, remove the plug wire on each cylinder one at a time to see if it makes any difference to narrow down the cylinder if it is indeed one cylinder and not something common to all. Do the...
