As we have all seen lately, much of the forum is becoming dedicated to posts about the problems people are having with their Spyders. This is a great place to discuss those issues, and they are very serious concerns for those that have them as well. I also know that some people are reading about them and are posting they are know scared to be a Spyder Ryder.

What I would like to see in this thread is for people who are not having problems to check in and just let us know. I have a feeling there are many more people without issues that are just not posting about it. Perhaps if they chime in as well we can get some sort of perspective on how widespread these issues really are.

If you would be so kind as to post your Spyder's year and model that would be great as well.

No problems here with my 2010 Spyder RT-S

Got my Phantom in Oct of '09 and and going to take her in for the 6000 mile service this week, nothing wrong with it EVER. LOVE every minute on it!

I don,t know if this is a good idea. Sometimes when one brags about how good their spyder is, it comes back to bite you. But anyway I have a 2009 full moon and it runs great for me. Me and my wife like it a lot.
This is the second best thing that I ever bought. My wife was the first.

If you're just stating facts...It isn't bragging...

Any more than those with problems saying so is bashing...

Currently no problems on our rs with 11,000+ miles.

[ARtraveler]

Wife's 2009 RS---16,500 miles with no problems. We had initial computer problems but they were solved in the first two weeks of ownership. I don't consider out of the box stuff to be a problem. Since then, the bike has run well and needed only required servicing.

I have PE#115 with over 10,000 miles and I only have had one problem, not enough riding time!!! I have an 11 month old daughter now and I have not seen a mod for a side cart yet!!!
As far as the bike goes, I have only done maintenence on mine and have had no problems at all.

[FANG]

Close to 14K and all problems are behind me .

[SilverSurfer]

Nearing 3K miles and second service. No mechanical issues at all. Took a deer hit back in June. Spyder weight and stability saved my life. Deer took my left-side mirror assy. Replaced good as new. Taking it in for 3-5K service on August 17th ... Adding Elka Stage 1+ shocks, and having them do SE5 clutch recall, even though I've had no problems with it.

And in September ... Spyders in the Smokies!! Whoohoo!

2009 Silver and Black SM5 with 3500 miles and still going strong. No mods except saddlebags. It is my wife's but I do ride it. I am teaching her to do the maintenance on it. She is quite remarkable with this. I bought her a torque wrench so she can do it right. We love the . Can hardly wait till we get the next one for me. Absolutely no problems.

[Barbary]

2009 Yellow RS just passed 2k miles... Had a couple hick-ups that dealer corrected... Nothing further...

Me and my wife bought 09 GS -5's about a month ago, and we have had no issues yet, we have had the vent hose updates and the ECM updates done. we only have about 600 miles on them so far, taken them back for the first service in week or so. I have made the crankcase breather mods for both bikes, but yet to install, no oil in boxes yet either. I have had the back firing issue with my bike after theTBR was installed, so i had to put on the JBPRO and a K/N filter, and it is running really good now. I keep my eye on this site to keep informed for any issues. This a GREAT SITE, Lamonster, and others are so informative. LOVE ridin this bike and my wife does too. the only problem is tryin to find time to ride!

I am happy to report no problems with my 2008 SM5! We just bought it new this year 6/19/2010. My current mileage is 1800! My selling dealer was absolutely fantastic. with that being said, I almost did not buy the spyder. I read too much into the horror stories on the forums! I'm happy and looking forward to a long relationship with my spyder.

2008 Yellow SM5......... Coming in for my 9000 mile service next weekend, and still no problems at all !!

[omac546]

'08 Sm5- 12,000 miles. Major Air intake changes. KewlMetal Performance Air system to solve the oil in the airbox leak. Added a JB for better fuel use. 34 to 36 mpg average, a couple of tanks over 40 mpg. 1st. DPS update done, nothing since.

Squeeky brakes – very minor issue (comes and goes)

Replaced (re-welded) both Front Fender support rods. Broke in the same area. Damage is from my 4 mile long wash board dirt driveway.

Lost Right Front mirror. BRP Rep told me a number of them were cut undersize.
