Still problems, blah. AZ lemon Law is very powerful. Did they say anything about your camber or toe in? Sounds like possibly a set, non-adjustable component maybe be structurally out at a weld joint of the frame, incorrect shocks or shock setting from factory. I don't think there is any shimming to the A-arms or steering other than the rod arms. Is it the inner or outer tread on the tire thats wearing?

For this solution, either set your shocks to a higher setting (4 or 5) or get aftermarkets.

My shocks are set to 5. I think my toe in is not right. I drove it down 1-10 today with no wind and over 65 we go a wandering. I have debated getting elka shocks but am reluctant to spend anymore money on such an expensive bike. I am ready to go try out a Harley trike. I am debating trying out the guys in Surprise. Thanks you guys for all your help! Anne

Oops missed the inside wear comment and I may have missed you mentioning if there is actual visible excessive wear on the inner tread. How many miles have you ridden this, you may need to get your Spyder legs and float with the natural motion of the machine instead of constantly trying to fight it. The shock setting isn't going to help, it should ride level at any setting. The setting will only go from a feeling of boat to jack hammer between 1 and 5. What are the Ride Now techs that take it out feeling about it? Has another Spyder owner ridden it and/or have you ridden a different Spyder? Also, the condition of the road affects this machine in a bad way. Often times the center of the road is higher from the wear and compression 4 wheel vehicles tracks. You may be feeling the rear tire trying to fall from the center and the front wheels trying to climb out of the ruts.

If your Spyder isn't in the shop somewhere and you have access to it, CASE is coming in from Phoenix with several Spyder riders to ride Mt. Lemon this Saturday. May be a good oppurtunity to have it looked over and swap Spyders for a comparison and opinions on any possible problems you believe you are experiencing.

Because of a high chance of bad weather, this ride has been bumped to Sunday. Can't make it on that day, have fun.
