    Default from 350hp stage 3 jetski to 105hp Spyder...

    Hello everyone

    I found a 2008 Spyder with 266km on board in a heated garage and I bought it...and I love it!

    Coming from water where you need big hp to move.

    I have lots of questions, most of themSpyder.jpg technical, like 3 recalls I have, so see you on this forum.

    I grew up riding and racing sleds (snowmobiles) in my teens and 20's. I can't believe it took me almost 3 years to jump off the fence and just buy one already. I have never looked back, I have a 12 Model RSS I have done a fair amount of work to over the winter. I look forward to the riding season. I also look forward to getting rid of the 3 bikes I have (at least two of them) and getting into a Ryker. With my snowmobile experience, I think I will take to the Ryker 900 like a duck to water, it has the "CVT" tranny which looks a lot like a snowmobile drive to me....lol

    I also raced sleds....sno X...... back in the day. I have a 2012 RS that I really like but the Ryker is more fun and its more fun cause its more like a sled. The engine, CVT....it all comes right off the snowmobile. If you like sleds you'll love the Ryker. I just wish the seat was a couple inches taller. You sit up higher on the sleds.
