• 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.

    So it's called the Ryker!

    If you look at the photo you can see the passenger seat on the back, the seat looks a tad small for one of ample girth though! 😎

    Does the Spyder SE have engine braking?

    Thanks for that BoilerAnimal, automatics don’t generally have a braking effect in automobiles but I was hoping the Spyder was different as it has a regular gearbox matched to an automatic clutch I believe.

    2012 RS-S Spyder

    I’m new here too but surely a 2002 Gs would be a Suzuki, is the other model you speak of a 2008 Spyder?

    Does the Spyder SE have engine braking?

    I’ve been looking around to see if the semi automatic SpYders have any engine braking or is it all dependent on the braking system. I’ve ridden sidecars for years and engine braking and a swift swing of the rear end is often sufficient to scrub off speed. Can the SE models to do something...

    Rear mudguard/fender

    Looking at the rear wheel and the short mudguard at the back, how does it affect riding in the rain? Has anyone fitted a deeper or more protective mudguard/fender? Having been Winging it the past few years we have been spoiled by full coverage front and rear..

    Disappointed for sure

    Having serviced and repaired assorted motorcycles for more than forty years, added complexity and computer diagnostics becomes really expensive for the consumer. Considering all the technology how come technicians are still swapping out parts instead of actually solving the problem? Did you...

    2012 vs 2014 RRS

    2012 RSS, do you still have it and are you happy with it? As you bought one way back when yours was three years old, I’m considering buying one now that’s six years old but with low mileage. I often wonder at all these Spyders with low mileage’s, I’ve ridden over a million miles on an...

    Spyder in the shop

    With so many electrical problems I would suspect that the wiring is at fault! Either a connector has a poor connection or some of the wiring is broken. Electrical problems are a pain to find... [emoji887] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NOT HAPPY WITH BRP (AGAIN)

    Thank you Gray Ghost for the visual! Still they are relatively inexpensive and if used on several Spyder's would be readily available I'm sure within days! I suspect the dealer is focussing on other sales, winter service specials and does not want to deal with the complexities of a troublesome...

    NOT HAPPY WITH BRP (AGAIN)

    Paper or plastic? What's unique about the gaskets? Are they paper or composite? If paper they are easily made composite not so! Valve cover gaskets are easy to make usually photocopy valve cover, cut out shadow copy stick to gasket paper cut out with scissors punch holes as necessary. Of course...

    I'm so tired of idiots of not seeing me and turning in front of me..

    I've found a flashing red light really works. It's difficult though to explain to some people why I have a Christmas tree mounted on the bike in day light but it comes into its own at night! [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do people ride 800 lbs. bikes?

    I rode singles for years, lightweight nimble and fast then I rode sidecars slower but lots of panache. Then came the GL 1500 800 lbs plus dry but a blast to ride and nothing falls off it but me [emoji6] but it's a pig to lift up when you drop it! It's fine at slow speeds but it took a while to...
