The bike was all over the highway with the front end having a mind of it's own. I fixed the problem when I found that the left front tire only had 8 lbs. of air in it and the right front tire only had 14 lbs. in it. The rear tire had a whole 18 lbs. in it. After bringing the tires up to where they belong I found that the bike is a great ride with me putting a little over 200 miles on it yesterday. After putting the bike in my garage I decided that I should check on some other things for my safety and started by checking on the motor oil level. Low and behold it was a quart low. Remember now this is a brand new bike that I just picked up. I will be going over the rest of the bike today as it is raining out anyway.
Well Deanna good luck with your new ride.

Make sure you are checking the oil level at operating temp. If you are checking it cold it will show low.

You should have taken the bike back, and talked to the Sales manager, and told him/or she what the problems were, and had them take care of it. That is what I would have done, or better yet I would have looked at the spyder myself, before I drove it off the lot. What else did you find that was wrong????
Keep me posted on this.
I have 321 miles on mine since I picked mine up yesterday. Good luck with your new ride also. Deanna777
