• 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.

    Smylincha

    My wife's SM5 is a 2009. Mine is a SE5 2010. My fan is about 1" bigger square than hers. Her :spyder2: runs 4 bars most of the time. Mine :spyder2:runs 5 bars almost all the time. When I ride hers, I hardly notice the hot air coming out on my leg. On mine, my leg feels like it is cooking almost...

    Brake Fluid Change?

    I don't know if this will help decide but, the oil in the Spyder gets really hot and slung all over the parts it is designed to lubricate. Therefore, occasionally you need to change the oil. Gas gets used as you drive. But in the case of brakes, the only time you need to worry is when you stop...

    Question about price on a Spyder

    That was a 2009, 0 miles. The second one we found on craigslist with 400 miles on it. Young lady bought on July 10 2010 and lost job on the 15th. We took over balance and never looked back.

    Puff of smoke

    Hello. I have had this happen to me on my wife's 2009 SM5 a few time. I took all the covers off and checked the breather box. Only thing I found was a little oil in the box. Seems to me that a very small amount of oil gets up neat the throttle body and on occasion it burps and makes a little...

    OIL CHANGE

    I find if you turn :spyder2: on its back, remove filler caps, oil will run out all over the place. Then turn back over and replace oil, wipe down and wash floor in garage. Then take shower and have fun. J/K Lamonster instruct is very good.

    600 Mile Inspection Cost

    I do not understand why anyone would pay three hundred dollars for an oil change. Remove 2 side panels, 2 oil bolts, 2 small bolts for filter, 2 more if you have a semi auto for little filter, reinstall, add oil and look at your :spyder2: to see if any thing looks out of place. If it isnt broke...

    12 K service

    If it isnt broke, dont fix it. You can purchase a service manual on Ebay. I did for about 7 dollars. Down loadable, but dont print it out. You will use 5 or 6 print cartridges. On page 563 is the specs. Good luck. No one touches my bike but me. I just dont trust service departments unless I am...

    A Lesson from the Dragon

    My lovely wife spent over an hour in the parking lot of a closed department store before she ever went on the road. We had many spectators watching. But so what. She then rode it half way home on the highway. She did well as there was no traffic except for the 20 or so cars and trucks that were...

    HOT DIGGITY!

    HOT DIGGITY!

    It now looks as if we now have Spyder number 2. Found one, a 2010, white SE5 with 500 miles on it for sale. The young lady bought it 3 weeks ago and lost her job a week later. Said she is afraid she wont be able to afford it. New job starts in a week but she has to commute 230 miles round trip...

    6,000 Miles Scheduled Maint. Cost

    Take a look in your owners manual. Change oil and adjust if necessary. If no codes, what could be wrong. No weird noises? Belt tight? Tires inflated. I dont need to spend $700.00 or more to tell me my Spyder is running ok. Just my opinion.

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    2009 Silver and Black SM5 with 3500 miles and still going strong. No mods except saddlebags. It is my wife's but I do ride it. I am teaching her to do the maintenance on it. She is quite remarkable with this. I bought her a torque wrench so she can do it right. We love the :spyder2:. Can hardly...

    The Spyder and the Lamborghini.

    On July 1, I had to go see the doctor. I decided to ride my wife's :spyder2:into town. I live 65 miles west of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here in Vegas, there are many types of people. Rich, not so rich and poor. As I was ryding into town, I heard this noise like a sportbike I thought was behind me...

    Headlight running... low or high beam all the time? Which do you use?

    I does not matter to me what a person turns on. Me, I want to be seen. I live in Las Vegas and the flognards that live and drive in this area have no common sense. They go where they please and if I could I would run 20 lights and fire sticks to get their attention. It pays to have a deep loud...

    Seat Recommendations - Help Wanted

    Stock seat just needs more foam. Take it to upholstery shop and ask how much to add and fix. I paid $25.00. Works great.
