• 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.

    Question about an oil leak

    I have had my 2008 GS since April 8, 2008 with around 95,500 miles on it and never had an oil leak before. I noticed though a week or so ago that I have a rather large oil spot under the right hand side as you sit on the bike right under the motor, about a foot or so in diameter. I have had it...

    Laser Alignment Thoughts

    It's almost like a different Spyder, isn't it? I knew you would love it Randy, I could not believe the difference in handling when I had it done back in the early summer at "Stormin Norman's" in Dundee, NY. I always thought mine handled pretty well and had no abnormal front tire wear, but...

    Never Wet

    I had the same experience with this "crap" and it left my boots with a cruddy film all over them and it peels off if any thing even brushedsagainst it. I did follow the directions exactly and in order, but the stuff is junk!!:mad: I did get my money back from Lowes where I bought it. My boots...

    FRONT TIRE LIFT ?

    I too have done the same thing by giving it too much throttle going into a sharp turn......but has always turned out well. It is a little unnerving though!!:yikes:

    Anyone Ride Year Round in Northern Climates?

    Cold doesn't bother us we just dress for it with the suit from Bajaron or snowmobile pants and layering. We have ridden in the low teens before and have been comfortable even on long rides of over 100 miles. We have ridden on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day and a lot of days...

    A revisit of the ROLO laser alignment

    And a hardy Amen to that!! I was one of the first to have it done (Stormin Norman did it for me at his residence in Penn Yan, NY) and never really had any issues either, but what a difference it made in handling after it was done. This was something that the dealers really need to get for...

    How many Spyders over 100,000 miles with original motor?

    I finally had the valves checked at 53,000 miles and was told that they were well within spec. I was going to have the valves checked at around 12,000 miles, but my former dealer wanted $750 just to check them and then of course more $$$ if anything needed to be done. I anguished over whether...

    How many Spyders over 100,000 miles with original motor?

    As I am approaching 93,000 miles on my Spyder I got to wondering how many people have seen over 100,000 miles on their Spyder with the original motor? Lamont told me at Spyderquest that I was one of the only ones he knows of with that many miles on the original motor, which kind of surprised...
