Good article in this morning's NY Times....

I ordered a 660 from Garmin over 6 weeks ago after asking some gps questions here. They must have run out of units right after I ordered because it is supposed to arrive today.
The 660 now includes...

Well it would seem there is much ingenuity and many options for adding gps to a Spyder. I'm going with a Garmin 660; still deciding on the type of mount.
If you are a member of The American...

I find it hard to do homework on this...software updates change some of the behavior of how gps units perform. You have to look at reviewer's post date to see if their complaints have been addressed...

I have a 2009 rs (I guess technically, a gs). Looking to add a Zumo on my bike. I probably won't hard wire it right away. The mount options are the BRP mount or one that attaches to the round part of...

I'm not saying this happens to everyone but a coworker rode there from LA this summer and had problems with Chase Bank inadvertently shutting off his credit and debit cards when he crossed the...

Depending on how the barn is constructed I sure would think about rodent issues, especially with all the tupperware on the bike. With all the wiring and such it could be a nightmare next spring if...

I guess I was just trying to take a bad battery out of future issues if the stock one isn't that great. I'll just ride for now. Thanks Scotty.

Ok I got the bike back a couple of weeks ago and it runs and steers fine now.
There was a "lost communication code", ie a loose connection. They were able to clear codes and replicate the errors....

Spyder on an Xtreme trickle charger all the time. Took it off right before I went riding. But I did not check connections so that's a good point. The dealer also adjusted my parking brake when the...

Agree with Scotty about not being able to shift weight comfortably. But I can ride longer with the comfort seat vs stock. The vinyl is also less "rubbery" and does not show scuff marks. The seat has...

Hoping that's all it is. I just want back to fixed and dependable:pray:

Finally got the dps recall done mid July. From past steering replacement experiences i figured this would be trouble.
Trailered bike home from dealer, no time to ride until a couple of weeks ago. 20...

I had posted about 6x10 trailers last week and I was going to buy one at tractor supply. I did a little more research and found a local dealer that sells Maxey brand trailers. I can get a 6.5x10...

Here is the one I am looking at. The one at the store has minor shipping damage (looks like something scraped the side rail on one side) so they are willing to deal.
...

Found a 6x10 utility trailer with a 48" ramp at Tractor Supply. It's the usual 2x6 plank floor design that you see everywhere. The ramp is a full 6 feet wide so I know my Spyder will clear it...

That rubbery material on the stock seat accentuates any kind of scuffing. I finally gave up and bought the comfort seat. The finish of the vinyl is much more forgiving.

So are you saying there is more steering sensitivity at high speed? I had my dps replaced the first time around and never had the lockup or any other problem after that.
I took a 400 mile trip...

My steering locked up prior to having the update and I too did not plan on nor did I want the update, but I had no choice once the steering failed. The dealer did the update and it didn't help so...

When my steering failed in late October I called Carlo and he authorized a new DPS. After about 7 weeks of backorder I called Carlo again and he immediately expedited the part to the dealer and...

Trying to keep my bike from locking up the steering and veering into oncoming traffic last week as I tried to get home was an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. There were no road shoulders or any...

No offense to anyone, but there are others who have taken the similar stance that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. While the update is supposed to fix problems, for many it has not and for yet...

I've called the dealer and they are going to come pick up the bike. They have sold over 25 bikes since becoming a dealer and claim there have been no problems with bikes they have updated. I don't...

It's in the lower 50's today, figured I'd ride up to the drugstore. About half way there at 45mph the steering locks up and starts pulling slightly to the left. No warnings on the dash so I don't...

Is there some pattern of consistency going on here?

I ordered the Xtreme charger and it showed up today. It is the yellow one for motorcycles. I haven't tried it yet but it looks to be very heavy duty and the bottom of the case is rubber so it won't...

I bought my Spyder in late March so I really haven't been through the winter storage cycle yet. While I hope there is still some riding time left for the year here in the midwest, I'm afraid the cold...

Ran across this the other day. Might be a tad unstable at low speed?

I had all of your concerns when I made the decision to buy one early this spring. You can either worry or you can ride--it comes down to that.
This board is a great place to get educated before you...

Considering your short term of ownership I would have expected nothing less than a new motor, and maybe a loaner as you wait for this to play out...
