    Default She's Home

    She's finally home in my messy garage!!!! It does seem to be all over the road at times, not sure why. I'm gonna have a professional Spyder rider take it out and see if it happens with her (my wifey) Excuse the mess and these pics don't do her justice

    And don't hold on so tight. You will find that a lighter touch on the controls will enhance the ride.

    If you have not already, read the do's and don'ts thread. Loosen up the "death grip" and it will handle perfectly (99.99999999999%) of the time.

    Assure that the front tire pressures are similar. I like 19 psi. I find that if mine wanders the pressures are off. It doesn't take much. Death grip is bad as said, high wind doesn't help. If that garage is messy, don't come to mine! Lol

    Default the garage !

    yeah ! I see what you mean ... I think I can help with your garage ----> you need (1) ping pong table , used for storing clothes that will be used next time { any thing relating too next time } (2) you need a weight bench , it handles all the other next time stuff that weill not fit on the (1) pingpong table ,,, (3) mmmm 15 totes of who knows what , it will make the garage , more {insert anything here } ... I can start sending all of this stuff at any time --- please ! I guess we need a garage photo contest ! by the way very nice looking bike and don`t worry about the parking spot it looks fine, { now that you have a spyder a lot of the 1,2,3, will most like find its way over hahhaha .... enjoy the ride and have a blast

    I have a completely stock Spyder and enjoy the ride, my spyder handles fine for me. would handeling improve with the lazer alignment or the Baha sway bar don't know someday I might find out but I am happy with it the way it is now. Relax your grip and enjoy the Ride.

    I find that as much as I reorganize and clean my garage, as soon as I turn my back the stuff stored there multiplies. It's gone from a small one car garage to a very small Spyder garage. The back wall just seems to keep moving forward, at this rate pretty soon, I'll have to give up my power tools to make room for more storage.

    Taking her out today to learn the new riding style of the RTL spyder, I will try not to hang on so tight and ride it like a two wheeler. Tire pressure is @19psi fronts, I'm going to go with the sway bar but being new should the dealer do it so the warranty doesn't get voided out oh that brake pedal is touchy gotta get use to that also.
