    Welcome Steelerman.....
    Quick searches will usually give you this type of general info. I am not saying this to be a smartarse, but just that you can usually get an answer (and varying opinions) very quickly.....here's one to start with the info you need in it.

    Default Welcome. ..

    Congratulations on the new ryde...do need a picture for proof positive..... You did come to the right place for anything spyder. Tire pressure is a trial by error thing depending on the tire terrain and style of ryding. Factory recommended pressure are on a sticker on the swing arm on most models...

    Welcome! You've latched onto a great vehicle. Since you say you're brand new to the site I assume you have not prowled around it much yet. I suggest you go to the Spyder General Discussion Forum and read the second Sticky thread, the Do's and Do Nots. There is a wealth of very good information in that thread, particularly if your are coming to Spyderdom from the two wheel motorcycle world. Next, take the time to read your Operator's Guide thoroughly. Again, there is a lot of good, every day information about your machine in it. Lastly, if you received a video disc with your Spyder, watch it -- for your own personal safety.

    As others have said there's a ton of information on this site and a great bunch of ryders who do their best to provide accurate information and answers to questions.

    Have fun, be safe!

    Welcome Steelerman! I'm wondering if your bike doesn't have the tire pressure sticker under the seat when you open it up to fuel it? Did your's come with the owners manual underneath the Front Trunk liner. Mine was tucked in a plastic protector, right under the battery door in the frunk, but in a slot hidden by the Frunk liner.....

    Do those grips fit over the stock ones for the heated grips and can you still feel the heat with those on over the stock grips?

    Yes, they fit over the stock grips and you can feel the heat from the grip heaters although it takes just a bit longer for the heat to get through the foam grips.
