    Default New Spyder owner here looking for support

    Hello guys I am new to the Spyder world I have always wanted one since they came out however had to wait till I could afford one. So I will be picking up my Spyder this Sat July 30th. It is a 08 Can Am Spyder GS SM5. I know this was the first run year for the Spyder so for those of you who have one how reliable has it been and what should I be looking for during my inspection at time of purchase? The bike has 15000 miles and appears to be in very good cosmetic condition. The owner did agree to send the bike off to a dealer and have a inspection performed at his cost. I am super excited to pick up this machine and get on the road. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Default Congrats!

    Congrats on your Spyder.
    i own an 09 RS (my first) and all I can say is rev it up! These earlier Spyders like being ridden at higher rpm's; I never even hit 5th gear unless I'm running over 65 mph. I shift between 5000 and 5500 rpm.

    Read the Do's and Dont's on this site, but most importantly....Have Fun!!!!

    Default Looking for support

    Welcome, I'm looking for support too, monetary support. LOL Have the dealer check the exhaust gaskets for leaks and try to find out if the fluids have ever been changed. Good luck with the purchase and be sure to stop back and post some pictures when it is yours.
