• 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.

    For All You Niken Haters

    Lol - a Spyder can’t outrun my 2016 F150 on a twisty road, the Niken will perform as well or better as most sport bikes on a twisty road.

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    I guess the Niken is bad news for you then....I’m not a Yamaha fan, but not likely you will beat what they have built.

    For All You Niken Haters

    This isn't a mobility scooter, it's a sport touring bike with huge front end grip and real motorcycle power and mileage.

    Rider Magazine likes the Yamaha Niken

    If you consider dropping the bike every time you get off an option lol. This isn’t a mobility scooter, it’s a 3 wheeled sport tourer, particularly the Niken GT.

    2019 Yamaha Reverse Trike

    Former Spyder owner here - sold my Spyder after 15K miles and was waiting for a leaning reverse trike. I got tired of leaning the bike the wrong way, looking forward to slicing Apexes with huge confidence from dual fronts. My dream machine right here! That said, I will miss the best character...

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    If you ignore the tangible examples I gave, then I suppose you can keep believing in Yamaha. All the ones I mentioned were first year screwups. It’s not like I didn’t own a few of them, and in my circle we owned every example. If you are the type of person that loves what they buy, anything and...

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    Lol - I guess you’ve never owned a first year Yamaha product? They are THE WORST company in the past 15 years or so with first year defects. I got burnt, so did a bunch of my buddies. Yamaha is not what you think, nor what it used to be. I could list the huge list of first year botches, but...

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    Something to consider; 30% higher cornering grip threshold (~.7G vs ~1.0G) puts the Niken in another realm vs the Spyder. Im not certain that the traction control will be as invasive as on the Spyder, but the vastly higher limits, superior acceleration and braking, will mean this design has a...

    Prob after oil change

    This depends on how long it ran, I was told to rev the engine to build oil pressure, which was terrible advice that I ignored!!

    Prob after oil change

    I did the same! But......no offense intended here....... people should not be telling others on this site the "oil light will go out after a bit"!! It goes out so quickly it is unnoticed if the oil filter is in correctly. Fortunately I was skeptical when I was told this and just took it back...

    Hard to sell?

    I will keep dropping the price But in my experience, if price is the issue, the "lowball" offers should still be trickling in. I am currently asking the book value. Not much around here sells for book, I'm in Manitoba, and nowhere are used prices more inflated that here..... What I'm wondering...

    Hard to sell?

    I wonder about the demand locally.... I've noticed locally the Spyders that I looked at a year ago are still on the market, however, those ones are over-priced. However; I have had not one legit call or email. 3 scammers did email from the usual locations (oil rig, working away from home, etc)...

    Hard to sell?

    I'm not sure if my ad is the issue, but I have what seems to be the nicest Spyder RSS (2011) for sale locally (Manitoba) , still with Manufacturers warranty till next year. It shows well and looks nice, mileage is low, it is posted for book value (although everything around here seems to sell...

    Need Help ASAP Please!!!

    Tricks of the trade If any type of thread is stuck, especially a tapered thread, always try to tighten it first. The micro-striations caused when tightening mean it will be easier to break it by continuing to tighten it. Trust me, 10+ years as a pipe fitter, I've learned the tricks to budge...

    Tilting Reverse Trike

    Spyder's biggest flaw? Yep. Bring on the leaning trikes, I would like options when I buy one. Who could honestly say they would not prefer the HIGHER level of safety and capability of a leaner? You are literally looking at 50-60% more cornering ability. Use it or not, it greatly increases the...

    F3 vs. RS

    i gotta say most of your post is spot on. I think the F3 looks like a gyno table with a fridge bolted to the front. The engine sounds lousy, revs slowly, it drives heavy, the seating position is embarrassing..... Should I go on? Where is the future of Spyder's, hopefully not this! My next...
