I live in the NW WA and get lots of rain. The Toyo Proxes4 has proven to be a good tire on both wet and dry pavement. When it's time to re-tire I'll buy another one.

A wide tire spreads the weight over a larger contact area reducing the psi to the pavement - less traction. As with driving in snow - a narrow tire gains more traction. Driving off road in the mud -...

Before the advent of the hand held GPS I bow hunted with a buddy whom had a terrible sense of direction and I'd tell him he probably couldn't find true north even with the aid of a compass. Normally...

I have 2 of these jacks. http://deals.ebay.com/blog/1100-lb-motorcycle-scissor-jack-for-57-off . I use 1 in the front between the front tires and 1 in front of the rear tire. I welded an extension to...

Got rear-ended yesterday afternoon. I was riding down a 2 lane highway trying to catch the next ferry over to the Seattle side of the Puget Sound. It's raining hard and traffic is moving fast so...

Have Corbin seats with backrest up font with BRP rest in back. I love mine and the wife loves hers. FYI - for long trips I strap a Kuryakyn Grand Tour tail bag on the rear of her back rest. Works...

The answer is no. Check the web for permits honored by other states.

If you think the price is to high just think about the costs for liability insurance. When you are in business you know you will be sued sooner than later. Part of the costs of products is attributed...

I ride a lot in the rain / cold. I have tried lots of different home remedies and anti fog spray / gels / wipes etc. It's nice not to have to leave your shield cracked when it cold.

Rolling off the throttle - engaging the clutch - dropping off RPMs - dis-engage the clutch - rolling back on the throttle is a safe and effective way to slow down going into a curve. Some times safer...

One of the reasons I like my M5 is that you can engage the clutch - drop off RPM - loose speed - before or during a turn - let out the clutch - never touch the brake - and away you go!!!:thumbup:

29k on my 2008 GS(R) M5 and still no major problems. Never have had spark plug issues. This site is full of posts about spyders with problems. I'm guessing that there are a lot of owners who don't...

Got my replacement gas cap last week. I removed my evap can years ago because of the reports of fires and gas odors reported by owners of 08 and 09 spyders.

Ditto on the K N air filter. The suspension on the newer RS may be adequate but I had to spend $$ on my 08's suspension to get the most out the spyder. Went with the Elka shocks, over sized tires and...

Have a 08 GS M5. One of the first things I did was install Corbin seats. In the beginning I was always sliding forward. This was a result of my riding style which is straight up. I called the...

Thanks to all for the feedback. Spyd3r - I'm impressed with your mod. You have inspired me to build my own. :thumbup::thumbup:

I need to replace my F1 windshield that I bought in 2009. The company that made the F1 was owned by a guy down in Florida by the name of Marcel. I can't find the company on the web so I'm assuming...

For me a smaller style windshield enchances the ride and provides a better riding experience -closer to riding an actual motorcycle. Therefore, I wear a full face helmet instead of sitting behind a...

With my 08 GS I get 28 to 32 depending on lots of factors, With my 08 Dodge 1 ton dually I get 17 empty 11 hauling camper and pully the spyder transport. I'm happy with the 28 - 32 - it's all...

Are still planning to meet on Sat at Elmer's Delta Park?

Good info Scotty. I guess I'll have to give this some more consideration.
Thanks

Thinking about buying a Aspen Classic and towing it with my 08 GS(RS) M5. Are there any Spyder / Aspen owners out there? Looking for comments - suggestions.

Hello BajaRon,
I have read alot about these plugs so I'm now ready to try a set. My shipping address is PO Box 1636 Saint Helens, Or 97051. Questions - Is the gap the same as the O.E.M.? Any changes...

SK Northwest - Purchased my 08 GS M5 from them and have had great service from day one. They normally have the parts I need in stock - if not it is only a matter of days before I receive them. The...

My wife and I had the same problem (slipping forward) with our Corbin seats even after putting on 3,000 miles. Sent them back to Corbin to be reworked and now they are great. :thumbup:

Love my 08 GS. Yes, you will need to add some mods to make the RS tour comfortable but when you are done you'll have 2 in 1. I ride solo most of the time and remove the saddel bags, touring...

We love the pegs. I have a custom shifter lever so I can both down and up shift with the heel of by boot without moving my foot from the peg. Works great. Also have a set of the same pegs mounted to...

I also have a 2008. Had the DPS upgrade and the steering works fine. Yes, it takes some getting use to but it's better to be safe -than sorry.
