Are dealerships the only options for getting the spyder serviced (other than DIY)? Are there any local shops which will do service/maintenance around the DC metro area?

Thanks.

It's a gas engine not a nuclear reactor......BUT.....it's the computers and where they tie into things that cause the service/maintenace headaches.....the mechanicals are pretty straightforward ....if you have a shop manual you can tear it down and put it together.....BUT....Rebooting the computer is where you hit a wall...IMHO...Mike..

:agree: There are some pretty specific details to this bike that are probably best left in the hands of somebody who has (hopefully!:gaah:) had the training to deal with them...

Well played Randy, well played. I am only having issues with my alarm at this point, but truth be told I would have paid out the EYES if I hadnt ripped all your vids off youtube and put them on the garage computer.

I prolly should paypal you some money. I know you had to replace hundreds of dollars worth of penstriping due to holly's scuff. :roflblack:
:joke: (Since Im about to use the same penstriping!) I think I spelled PenStripe-ing wrong. Who knows! MS WORD HELP ME

Does this mean I have to go to Canada to find a great mechanic?? :yikes:
Anyone know one in Florida? Preferably not more then 100 miles from Lake Placid, FL.

I'd be very surprised if there weren't a great mechanic somewhere near you
