I have a 2008 that only has 20K on it. Bought it 5 years ago an it had 9K on it then. As a desert dweller, we replace tires every three years due rto heat and dry rot potential. I keep the bike...
I take mine out and put them in a little box and wear earplugs while riding. I'm trying to blunt as much wind noise as possible to keep what little hearing I have.
I also checked every fuse on the bike and had correct brake fluid levels.
Bike started, moved to driveway to warm up. Stopped it while kitting up.
Went to restart. Nada. Not in gear, battery was juiced. Tried to jump it anyway, still nada.
Showing VSS/Brake failure...

My 2008 GS SM5 had the tall windshield when I bought it 4 years ago. It keeps the wind from using my broad shoulders as a sail when I'm running at freeway speeds. Couldn't even think of...
I unscrewed the post so that it never happens again. If your frunk doesn't open, there is the cable you can pull from the left wheel well. No such animal for the seat. I'm sure someone will tell...
I went to ride today (It will be in the high 80's through Thanksgiving here in Central Arizona). Perfect weather to run out to the lakes and tool through some twistys and enjoy life.
Unfortunately,...
It's supposed to be "High 90s" here today. Weather always breaks after Halloween, but we are running about 10 degrees above normal this year.:riding: It's almost always Ridin' weather out...
Make sure you also sign up for American Motorcycle Association membership. You get 35 miles of free towing along with it. My Allstate policy only provides for 15 miles. It more than paid for...
If you hit asphalt on a day where it's 118 degrees, you melt like butter skimming across a griddle.
I wear heat out base layers from Cycle Gear and Iron Worker Kevlar Jeans and a Mesh Jacket. I...
I joined AMA at the suggestion of a friend years ago. I never needed the Roadside Assistance until last Friday when I broke down on the AZ 101 Northbound at the University Drive Exit at 1:30 in the...
From Phoenix to Tucson, Only 150 miles, but worlds apart. GO SUNDEVILS!:roflblack:
I use RideNow Sports on AZ Avenue in Chandler for all of my work on my 08 ST. I hear Apache Motorcycle in Mesa does work too but I cant vouch for them RideNow does good work, but you have ti...

I just googled Can Am Spyder rentals in Phoenix and this came up.
I particularly like to ride out Power Road to thee Saguaro Lake Marina for lunch if I start...
FIRST, I agree that the best Offense is a great Defense.:doorag: With that in mind I was in one of the first 3-Wheel Basic Ridercourse Safety Classes that :firstplace:TEAM Arizona Motorcyclist...
:yikes:My 2008 ST SM5 only has the stock headlights and fender lights on it. I've been reading the postings on this sight for the last two years and want to "light it up".
I'm going to rely...
Sandra seems like a good name to me. You should call your bike and car anything you want.
I personally don't name my vehicles, but my wife does. She refers to my '08 ST SM5 as "It". As in ,...
I just ordered 6 stickers for 4 of my vehicles and a couple for other family members. I have a nephew who was shot in the Line of Duty and his partner killed in a shoot out a couple of years ago...
Hi Ann and Joe,
Will you be planning anything in the Phoenix Metro or Tucson areas? Lots of us out here in the desert and I really don't have time to ride to Vegas. I have a 2008 ST with just...
Actually Gilbert, but close enough...:spyder:
I ride in the Phoenix Area and it gets hellishly hot, but I love it! I bought my first stuff from Cycle Gear, liked it and still wear it today. I wear a mesh jacket and leave all the vents open,...
Seriana,
When I was looking to buy here in AZ, I kept "Googling 2008 Spyder for sale in AZ". When I found one for sale I liked at a dealer in Tucson (they have locations all over Phoenix Metro...
I would like to be included in the SROAZ. Let me know whats up and I'll see if I'm available. I've seen a few Spyders out here in the South East Valley.:spyder2:
Hi Pam,
There are a few of us in the Gilbert area. I've seen at least two others on Val Vista south of the US-60. I've ridden to Florence and back, returning through the San Tan area. If you...
:spyder2:
Are there any East Valley Spiders out there that would like to meet for a run out to Prescott or Payson and back some Saturday? I'm in Gilbert around Val Vista and Guadalupe. I used to...
