Lol - a Spyder can’t outrun my 2016 F150 on a twisty road, the Niken will perform as well or better as most sport bikes on a twisty road.
I guess the Niken is bad news for you then....I’m not a Yamaha fan, but not likely you will beat what they have built.
This isn't a mobility scooter, it's a sport touring bike with huge front end grip and real motorcycle power and mileage.
This isn’t a mobility scooter, it?s a sport touring bike with huge front end grip and real motorcycle power and mileage.
If you consider dropping the bike every time you get off an option lol. This isn’t a mobility scooter, it’s a 3 wheeled sport tourer, particularly the Niken GT.
Former Spyder owner here - sold my Spyder after 15K miles and was waiting for a leaning reverse trike. I got tired of leaning the bike the wrong way, looking forward to slicing Apexes with huge...
If you ignore the tangible examples I gave, then I suppose you can keep believing in Yamaha. All the ones I mentioned were first year screwups. It’s not like I didn’t own a few of them, and in my...
Lol - I guess you’ve never owned a first year Yamaha product? They are THE WORST company in the past 15 years or so with first year defects. I got burnt, so did a bunch of my buddies. Yamaha is not...
Something to consider; 30% higher cornering grip threshold (~.7G vs ~1.0G) puts the Niken in another realm vs the Spyder. Im not certain that the traction control will be as invasive as on the...
I still have this - trevorandlori@hotmail.com

This depends on how long it ran, I was told to rev the engine to build oil pressure, which was terrible advice that I ignored!!
But......no offense intended here....... people should not be telling others on this site the "oil light will go out after a bit"!! It goes out so quickly it is unnoticed if the oil filter is in...
But in my experience, if price is the issue, the "lowball" offers should still be trickling in. I am currently asking the book value. Not much around here sells for book, I'm in Manitoba, and nowhere...
I've noticed locally the Spyders that I looked at a year ago are still on the market, however, those ones are over-priced. However; I have had not one legit call or email. 3 scammers did email from...
I'm not sure if my ad is the issue, but I have what seems to be the nicest Spyder RSS (2011) for sale locally (Manitoba) , still with Manufacturers warranty till next year. It shows well and looks...

That thread has the gist of it. Essentially, as it was explained to...
Just curious...... How do you know it needs replacing?
That's what caused mine to slip at 6000 miles..
If any type of thread is stuck, especially a tapered thread, always try to tighten it first. The micro-striations caused when tightening mean it will be easier to break it by continuing to tighten...
Yep. Bring on the leaning trikes, I would like options when I buy one. Who could honestly say they would not prefer the HIGHER level of safety and capability of a leaner? You are literally looking at...
i gotta say most of your post is spot on. I think the F3 looks like a gyno table with a fridge bolted to the front. The engine sounds lousy, revs slowly, it drives heavy, the seating position is...
A leaning Spyder, should be built. I ride a snowmobile every winter all winter, for the past 20 years, and I strongly feel the Spyder's on real flaw is it leaning the wrong way. I love my Spyder, but...
They are big, roomy well made, oddly shaped, somewhat heavy, an not easily removable. I rented a Spyder with them.
I'm not so sure you'd want a pipe on that engine, the RSS uses the twin, and the RT the triple, so depending on what you are after......
The RSS sounds awesome because the booming nature of the...
The HMF pipe is loud, no two ways about it. Probably the best sounding, and it is awesome. On the highway, for extended distances, it requires ear plugs..... But it helps immensely with other drivers...
Try $800 out the door FOR ONE REAR TIRE at Winnipeg's only Spyder rip-off shop.
I took the wheel to the local Harley dealer, $25 installation, $150 delivered for a Kenda tire. Still had to go the...
