getting 1 step closer.

[spydermyke990]

After entering a quote request on BRP's "build & price" feature for the sts, and including my intention to trade in my 2009 can am renegade 800x, i got a call from the dealership asking me when i can bring my machine, it seems there is a demand for good used machine. hoping to get a good price, at least near blue book, since the quad hasn't been ridden for at least a year(except started up and taken around the yard, there very few places to ride where i live, and not a whole lot of people to ride with, and being i have a bit of an unpredictable work schedule driving otr for the company i'm with, its hard to get the motivation to load the thing up, haul it to a riding area, pay 20 buck to ride for 1-2 hours, load it back up and drive another couple hours home), looking at getting a yellow sts with a sport rack/bag combo(carbon black of course),fog lights, stereo with the bluetooth gizmo, and maybe the heated grips. Idecided to hold off on the gps kit and saddle bags for later.

Btw,a question for lamonster does the sts come pre-wired for the stereo and gps, or is that strictly dealer-installed stuff?:spyder2:

[flamingobabe]

I'm really excited for you...you're going to love the new ST....

[Chupaca]

:congrats: and :welcome: glad things are shaping up :thumbup:

[spydermyke990]

Got the call from the dealer, bank stuff approved, machine not in stock, they had an se5 there on the floor but i'm opting for the sm5, but they will have it soon. Besides, its too #### cold to ryde right now anyways, the only thing i have to decide is if i should opt for an extended warranty/care package.

How exciting! That Circuit Yellow is absolutely gorgeous!
We sat on one (couldn't ride cos it was snowing!) and absolutely loved it!
Now we're waiting for a Black Current ST Limited to arrive . . . .
then we'll be facing a BIG decision. But one of them will be coming home with us . . . just not sure which one.

Any idea how long it'll take for your SM5 to arrive????

:yes::clap::yes:

:congrats: On joining the family. Don't forget to join the New York Spyder Ryders club under the community tab in groups. What part of Upstate are you from? Did you order your spyder from DDS in Utica? That is where I bought my passenger back rest, and where I get my service done.

[spydermyke990]

Mine is from filer's near rochester, i went to different places to see who had what and to get an idea as to what to expect for a trade in offer, i live near branchport ny, which is right at the northern tip of keuka lake's western fork, so the location was a factor. Most were too far, and a couple of small dealerships seemed to not even care if they got any 2013 spyders sold. Filers was pretty thorough with everything, and figured out the trade, accessories, and extended warranties to fit what i was looking for. I'm thinking of going with the extended warranty until i get a detailed look at all of the plans. One of them has oil changes, periodic service, and breakdown coverage, etc.*

[otter28169]

You are only 1.5 to 2 hours away from me. I was thinking about heading out towards Ithaca to explore a little this summer. Hope to see you out and about.:doorag:

[spydermyke990]

Hoping that they get my sts sm5 in soon, they didn't really give a time frame, I'll have to give them a buzz Monday, the wait is killing me lol:popcorn:

[Bob Denman]

This is why you should always keep a copy of the latest Spyder Accessory Catalog available... it helps pass the time! :2thumbs:

[spydermyke990]

Yep, i downloaded it onto my computer and loaded it onto my DROID phone, i got a copy of the St s manual from brp's site and I'm gonna load that on there .:2thumbs:

[Bob Denman]

Just be careful; Farkleosis can be fatal... :shocked:

Lol yep, i'm just leaving off the backrest and saddlebags until i get my honey over here to our shores, and fit her with some gear, i just have to be careful because where she comes from, buying lots of farkles doesn't impress her, she's more attracted to frugality!:roflblack:

[spydermyke990]

I believe Lamont has the instructions on the forum, type it in the search box and see if it comes up.. I do know they may need to be downsized. I forget how the rest is done, I'm sure it is easy but I have a hard time with it. I got some on there but forgot how :dontknow:

:congrats: Nice looking machine.

[spydermyke990]

Got the call from my dealer, they got the farkles I ordered for installation and the recall parts( mine is one of the units up for the ball joint replacement/recall. Luckily when I stopped in to get a look at her they already had the recall info and were right on top of it(great job filer's :thumbup:), they said it will be ready for this weekend. Unfortunately, I had to tell then I wouldn't be home to pick her up until Monday... That snowy mess out in Iowa this past weekend, along with my dispatcher suddenly quitting :gaah:totally put a dent in my schedule. I'm hoping for this:cus: snow to end soon, it's starting to make me mental!! If this winter keeps up ill start looking like Jack Nicholson from The Shining:yikes: and start chanting "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy".

[spydermyke990]

Well, finally got home, and within the next 1-2 days depending on this crummy weather, ny new yellow spyder will be sitting in my garage space for its final farkling out, and for me to gawk at until old man winter finally gets booted out of town......to be continued....:ani29:
