I purchased a 2017 RT with 40,000 miles. Before my 3000 trip this summer, I completed a major service replacing spark plugs, coolant, brake fluid, fuel lines, air, oil fuel, and transmission filter. Lately, after driving it and letting it sit for at least an hour, sometimes it is difficult for it to fire up. I turn the switch off, try a few more times, and eventually it runs just fine. This happens periodically. Has anyone experienced this? Is my fuel pump going bad or do I need to have the injectors cleaned or is there something else going on? My gas mileage is approximately 30 miles to the gallon, but I am fully loaded and travelling between 70-80 mph on the Interstate. I definitely thought that my gas mileage would get better.

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.
My 2017 RT is Difficult to start after riding and then sitting for a hour - anyone else? Is it a dud fuel pump, bad injectors, or what?

If you're routinely riding at 70-80 on interstate highways your Spyder has the aerodynamics of a large barn door and you're going to get poor mileage. I have 92.4K miles on my Spyder and have averaged 37.3 mpg with a low of 28.3 riding several hours at 85+ on I-40 into a vicious headwind in OK and better than 52 just prowling around in CO. Have never had a problem with Spyder refusing to start.
