    Goodbye to my Spyder

    I spent over an hour writing a long Post (probably my last) explaining the Title of this Post. My wife has been ill and with two of my daughters visiting (many distractions) it took me some time to...

    Nobody There?

    I just "browsed" the entire site and it seem that there isn't a lot of interest in the site lately. In fact, I think I only saw one (1) Posting in 2013. I sometimes wonder if it's even worth while to...

    Re-setting Limp Mode

    I seem to recall reading somewhere in the past that if one just parks the Spyder, turns the key off, takes the key out and walks away for a few minutes (go get a cup of coffee or whatever) and come...

  8. Spyder Vs Burgman650 Exec

    I was on my second Burgman650 (upgraded to the Exec Model for the ABS, etc,) when my wife stopped riding with me. We had a couple of "Drops" while not moving and that freaked her out, I guess. I...

    "Run to The Heartland", Sebring FL

    Anybody else coming? If so, what day? I'm sure if there's only 2 of us, we should see each other. The wife and I are going to be there at least on Friday.

    Run To The Heartland

    I mistakenly called it the "Ride to The Heartland". "Run to The Heartland" is the correct title.
    Google (or search) Run to the heartland, Sebring FL for a link with information.

  16. Quote: "So when you change your oil next time consider leaving this splash pan off."

    This sounds like a good way to save some time and work during an oil change, but I can't help but ask an obvious question.
    What is the original purpose for the flash pan? I guess I could ask BRP or...
  17. Quote: "So when you change your oil next time consider leaving this splash pan off."

    Sounds like a good way to save some time. But my question is...what purpose is the splash pan supposed to be for?
    There must have been a reason it was put there, even if it isn't necessary.
