• 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.

    To Brake or Not To Brake....

    Yes, I'd like a hand brake, won't pay $1500, but I would happily pay $500 were it an option.

    Stuck in the parking lot Wyn Dixie Naverre FL

    All in all, if you were going to be stuck, the Winn-Dixie in Navarre Beach beats the heck out of the places I've been stuck (but not by my RS, knock on wood)!

    Another new Spyder Lover

    Congratulations, and if I may add a brilliant color choice! Some advice to enhance your riding: immediately inflate the front tires to 19-20 psi, and set the front shocks to 5 (very simple adjustment). These simple steps greatly enhance the handling of the RS. If you enjoy "spirited" riding, you...

    If I had designed the Spyder

    I concur with the handbrake issue, as regards the seating position a BRP 1" riser did a world of good for me. Everything else I like as is, I find the engine peppy, and the look distinctive. Overall I am very impressed with my RS (However, I did change the shocks to improve handling).

    Recommended dealer list, list the dealers your happy with!

    St. Tammany Marine - Small dealership in Mandeville, LA, due I believe to their size, they may not always be competitive with the big guys on out the door pricing. But I had my initial service done there and I've had a few options installed and everything was done right the first time and on...

    Terrified in Western KY..... NooB here

    At least 500 miles..... I'm 54 and made the switch from 2-wheels about 4 months ago. For the first 150-200 miles I was thinking I made a big mistake, and did not feel comfortable at all on the Spyder. Then I started reading some of the tips on this site (tire pressure, shocks set-up, riding...

    Dealers Oil Changes

    Great Deal! Only problem is by the time I got there and back I'd need another change.

    Attempt to steal Spyder

    Dave, you're right about it being a stupid target, but you're giving the criminals way too much credit regarding intelligence.

    Demo Ride

    Just a thought.... The RS-S is a great bike, and if you want the graphics, stitched seat, and black custom wheels it's a great deal. However if you're looking for a sporty ride you can put the Fox shocks (the only functional difference) on an RS for a little over $400.00 and have the difference...

    carry a pistol?

    Interesting point to this thread, despite the spirited nature of the debate the discourse has remained civil and respectful (well almost, I think Firefly may have received one or two shots below the belt, but for 9 pages of thread, not bad) and it occurs to me that it's because we're here for...

    Ease my fears

    felt the same way...... Make sure your front tires have 18-20 psi, put front shocks at highest level, and concentrate on not over working the handlebars. Then find some 55 mph 2 lane highways (with gentle curves) to practice on, until you feel ready for the interstate. It will come in no time...

    carry a pistol?

    "It's amazing to me that people really live in such fear.... geesh-- do you guys all check your toothpaste for poison every morning?" By this same logic, wouldn't your wearing a helmet all the time indicate you are constantly living in fear of an accident? And the 2nd amendment is indeed...

    Decision Dilemma

    Personally I am very comfortable on my RS and am looking forward to doing some road trips, the addition of a few minor changes, primarily a touring windshield and 1" riser made all the difference for me. Also the RS models do seem to have fewer problems. However, what's comfortable for me will...

    carry a pistol?

    Let's ponder this one..... "What I said that no amount of my material possessions are worth killing someone over." So if someone could take literally everything you own, money, home, clothing, food, for no reason other than to enrich himself, and leave you a hungry, beggar (in this economy)...
