• 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.

    Are there really THAT many differences between the Spyder and two wheels?

    If we weren't separated by so much real estate you could take this one for a putt every once in a while. For old times sake ;)

    Are there really THAT many differences between the Spyder and two wheels?

    Still ride both and the difference(imo) is Night & Day. Not a bad thing, they're simply different platforms.

    Done with Spyder

    And/or keep a competitor from having Spyder's. The stand alone concept like Polaris insists upon for their Indian brand seems to be working out well in multiple brand dealerships and service departments.

    1 gear not engaging

    Just a thought. I always let my SE5 warm up to three bars before putting it in gear. Really doesn't take that long. I'll do a walk around, put my riding gear on while it's warming up. It still clanks when shifting into gear the first time, but never shutters on throttle up. Oh, and I have the...

    Done with Spyder

    Whether a dealer is rated Platinum or Silver doesn't hold water either. Just because a tech has been "trained" doesn't mean he/she learned anything. Or, that they're a critical thinker or give a rats patootie. It's a crap shoot at best, and the odds that you'll shoot snake eyes and lose A LOT...

    HELP! 2008 GS SM5 Starter not turning over despite excellent battery voltage

    John, where was it parked during the lengthy down time? Thinking it may have had unwelcome guests(little guys with beady eyes). Certainly wouldn't be a first. A close inspection of any wiring you can get to may be in order.

    998cc Fuel fume smell during ride...thoughts?

    Fuel smell static? Most likely a fouled carbon canister. Fuel smell at WOT could indicate a fuel bypass hose leak. Could Shuddering when aggressively rolling on the throttle(below 6K) is fairly common. Lightly throttling up will reduce the the shudder, or you can add a belt tensioner which imo...

    Benefits of the k & n air filter

    Not unlike Corbin saddles and several other personal choice items, there's a long standing love hate relationship on whether K & N filters are a good choice.
