New to Spyderville
I will be making my purchase at the end of this week for a Spyder RSS. My town has a lot of U-Turns. I was wondering how a spyder does on u-turns? Also, any tip and pointer that I can get from experinced ryders would be greats.
Thanks everyone

Welcome to our World. I would say to start, Read the manual, including doing the parking lot stuff. This is the best place in the world to get Spyder information.
Others with better ways to say things will come here as well.
Ride Safe and have fun

hey lifesaver
welcome, good to see you here. riding the spyder is different for sure, and takes some getting used to. the turning radius is larger than you would think. just practice some and you'll be fine
it was fun while it lasted.

Very cool video, in the comment section "allthingschrome" said he tricked the computer so the nannys wouldn't kick in. Still very cool

I have not riden any 4 wheelers/ATV before but when I test drove the Spyder RT I new then that it was lot like riding a 4 wheeler. I know I'm really going to enjoy the fun in riding.

As you may have gathered, the Spyder has a large turning radius (and is wider than a bike), so it requires a driveway or wide street for a U-turn. The RT is worse, since the handlebars hit your thigh at full lock, so you need to jockey yourself around to acoomplis a U-turn. Now the good news!...The Spyder has reverse, so it is easy to just pull into a drive and back out, or to make your turn in a couple of moves. I would not let the prospect of U-turn discourage you from trying a Spyder. Besides, if you circle the block, you get to ride farther.

Oh I will not let the U-turns discourage me at all. Like you said I'll just get to drive a little longer to get where I am going. I'll just choose a different routes to get where I'm going.
