    If you've got a 'New' 2009 it should have all of the current updates. Get it back to the dealer an have them get it right. Once your Spyder is right you'll love it.

    No matter what you ride you can find someone that had issues with it.

    Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

    My Harley didn't want to go anywhere most of the time. A friend of mine could not use her Harley for 3 consecutive weekends. What a bummer!!!

    Would your HD have been included? Nothing is perfect.

    Sorry about your problem. It sounds like dealer set up issues to me. They are supposed to do all the updates before the bike is delivered.

    Once you get it set up right and get about 1000 miles under your belt--you will probably be thinking different about your

    Harley Davidson just recalled 308,000 motorcycles for brake failures due to high heat generated by exhaust system.

    No I sold it after twelve years for better than half I paid for it,was a 2000 RK I don't think a Spyder will hold that value.Half the time the dealer looks at you like a deer in headlights. Sure a lot of bashing on here anymore.

    +Make that two. My '94 Sportster remains my most reliable bike TO the 100,000-mile point. The Spyder might make it next. Several others weren't as reliable to that point, but the '99 Victory was dead on reliable for its last 87,000 miles past 200,000.

    Nuthin' wrong with H-D, simply not my cup of tea again at the moment.

    Ride on.
