• 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.

    new model 2013

    "I don't see the market. Small displacement ruins the experience. They would have to lighten the vehicle considerably and make it extrememly nimble. They need to focus on making ours more nimble!! C'Mon fellas. I just don't see it. But we'll see. It would basically be a three-wheeled "scooter"...

    How to buy an RT

    You were telling my story, except i was going after an RS in silver. Had my heart set on one but nobody could find one anywhere in the state of Florida. My dealer got me by bringing me out back to show me the white RS-S they were uncrating and offering me a price better that I was expecting to...

    new model 2013

    I am certainly no engineer but wouldn't they have to lighten the Spyder if they tried to power it with a smaller engine? And I really think the bigger issue is price, not MPG. IMHO a 650cc on a slightly smaller frame with a CVT that would go out the door for under $10,000 would really open up...

    Major fail from Bert's Mega Mall

    If you have established a relationship with a local dealer you can have them order the bags and pay for them when they come in. They might be willing to do the right thing -- help out a fella serving our country. Hell, the dealer around here will do that for an idiot like me.:2thumbs:

    Please, Please .....

    When posting about a repair issue, please include the yr and model. I keep reading about the steering issue but still don't know if only specific models are affected and if the issue was resolved with the new 2010 models. Please, pretty please....

    10000 miles

    Ditto. Very good to hear that not all Spyders spend 1/2 their life at the shop. Care to share the yr/model of your ryde?

    Help me plan a Labor Day weekend trip

    Based upon where you live, I assume you've already been to Jeckle Island. Historic, but not military. There is a campground but likely booked for that weekend. But it is a really neat place to see how the rich partied back in the day.

    STARK BIKE FEST

    Remember that Starke has a pretty bad reputation for speed traps along SR301.

    Need Opinions

    O.K. they are asking MSRP for the 2010 RS-S so the price listed is where the negotiations should begin. Do your homework and see if there are any new '09s out there and see if you can point to a percentage that leftovers are being discounted. Also, if possible, try to get your own financing...

    Passing it along....

    Nice thing to do, I'm sure it will be one of those things that your son will talk about with his own kids some day. As for the gut, you need to be sure in the future that you know when someone is snapping a picture so you can suck it in, and try not to stand profile if you can help it. Oh, and...

    http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle/retail/2009/can_am/spyder-sm5/249738 It really depends upon the mileage and such. Pictures look good, but they aren't about to zoom in on any flaws now are they? Add something because it is a limited edition "Phantom" model. Add ons have little or no effect on...

    HOT DIGGITY!

    Cool. And being reasonable with the former owner is classy. I recall someone telling me a long time ago; "I Amy never be a millionaire, but I will always sleep well." Oh, and white is the very best color of all.;)

    St. Augustine: OK or tourist trap?

    Wife and I will be there next week. Staying at the Hilton on the beach. Sadly, the Spyder will be staying home.

    Advice

    If you have your heart set on an RS-S you may be out of luck waiting too long. They are not all that common and word around here is that once they are gone, they're gone for good until they show up used. As other have said, if you are going to do all those mods anyway, it might be worth it to...

    Rifle Windshield??

    Educate me, please. Why would the shield be cut out if the risers bring the handlebars away from the front and back toward the rider?

    How old were you when you bought your spyder? what are your thoughts on it?

    Not sure if I already responded and too old to waste time checking. Bought it at 59, just turned 60 yesterday. Waiting for the heat and rain to let up some so I can get back on the road.

    Easy Risers™ low cost riser kit

    What are the chances that a dealer could/would install these? I've got no mechanical ability whatsoever so I am at the mercy of my local dealer.
