• 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.

    Who has gotten their trailers?

    Trailer is on order Have not received my trailer yet. I have not received any info on where it is, or when it will be here. Since my RT is in being repaired, I guess the trailer doesn't do me much good anyways. Patiently waiting. Westgl

    SE5 Centrifical Clutch

    Glad you got a good one Dudley, My Spyder was running good before this happened, there were what I thought were minor problems, but I had taken it in to the dealer already for them. That is why I brought the Spyder back to my dealer in the first place. The SE5 trans was not shifting. It...

    GPS / CB-Intercom ... When?

    Dealer Install is Free My dealer said that he saw here on Spyder Lovers that there were some dealers that were not charging the install fee if you order the extras at the time you order the Spyder. My dealer said they would honor that. Westgl

    RT-S gas milage

    Gas Mileage I predict gas prices to hit over $3.00 a gallon by summer. Probably closer to $3.25-3.45/gal. I am hoping that my Spyder will get the 30-Mpg that most other people are getting after it is broken in. It only has 300 Miles on it right now. That is probably the reason for the...

    SE5 Centrifical Clutch

    SE5 Creeping My SE5 had/has a problem shifting from 1st to 2nd, I mentioned that to my dealer. They looked at it and said they don't see a problem. It's not throwing an error code so it must be ok. It doesn't do it if I shift under power. I mean it shifts normally. If I try to shift it by...

    SE5 Centrifical Clutch

    SE5 Creeping When My Spyder does creeping it is when it has been ran for a while, it doesn't do it when it is cold. Last time it started creeping(yesterday) I put the brake on hard to hold the bike and the engine died. That happened a few times on the way home. Almost every time I came to a...

    Strong Gas Smell Gas cap is not on or loose, or It will throw a code like a car. How many miles does your Spyder have on it? If a lot of miles. Has the air filter been changed? An air filter that is really dirty, pretty much clogged up will cause a strong gas smell and a rich condition, the...

    Air Front Suspension

    Anyone know of and/or tried a Front air suspension for the RT. Kewl Metal, looks like they might have something for the rear of the RS, But I don't think it would fit the Front of the RT. I would like a air front suspension, that you can adjust while you are riding and do not have to get off...
