How about some good Spyder news

[Lamonster]

I'm 500 miles short of 30,000 on my Spyder now.



For the most part any problems I've had have been self inflected. I have had some relay issues but that's pretty much it. I have yet to check my valves because 1: they don't act like I need to (no hard starting) and 2: I seem to find time for everything else but that. I know, I'm bad

My Spyder is running better than it ever has. My setup is the Lamonster cold air intake, No Magic air filter and pipe, TBR Juicebox with No Magic settings.


With these settings on my Juicebox I'm getting 35 to 38 mpg without the trailer and 32 mpg with the trailer. The thing pulls hard and runs better than ever. 5th gear pulls like 4th and from 5K up the Spyder just comes alive. We have a track not far from here and I'm going to see if I can get BajaRon to go over there with me and run his Spyder against mine. I'm pretty sure I'll be pulling him.

Anyway with all the bad news we've seen on the boards I just wanted to say I still love my Spyder and I love it more today than the day I bought it. Eveerything on it is setup just the way I like it now and it looks and runs better than new.

I'm so ready to take off for our ride to the west coast in two weeks. I'm sure the Spyder won't let me down.

If you still love your Spyder say so.

Wow, That many miles is great. Mine is still new, but I plan on racking up miles soon, maybe not like you and Doc have.

I have had my spyder in the shop for a couple of issues, bad instrument cluster, Gear position sensor and oil pressure sensor. I have 18,000 miles on it and I still love it. I never really considered any of the issues, major or bad news. I just took it up to my dealer and they repaired it under warranty. Usually only had it a day or two except this last time for a week. Right now, my baby is also running better than ever. I am currently checking my gas mileage after this last fix to see what I come up with. I'll let you all know after I fill the tank. It will be based on a combination of trailer and no trailer, highway and side roads.

We too are so ready for the trip to LA. I have even started some packing and practice packing of the trailer. This is going to be one unforgettable Spyder trip!! I have her set up for the long haul and as far as I am concerned, I already have my touring spyder. At this time in two weeks I should be somewhere south of Indianapolis. yeah!!

I totally love my Spyder - I am at 7000 miles now - never a problem! I took the Spyder fishing yesterday with some biker buddies. We went to some pretty remote lakes and streams in the Crystal basin. The Spyder is so stable on the gravel roads etc. My cooler, takle box and telescopic pole all fit in the trunk! I caught 2 nice sized browns.
Really looking forward to the LA trip - it's going to be great meeting all you other Spyder junkies!!

[Bersquack]

Hell Yeah I do!!!

love it -- mine best toy ever

The only machine I loved more than my spYder was my airplane. I find any excuse to take the spYder on the road. My physical limitations don't let me rack up big miles -- but ALL my rides are on twisty mountain roads and I thoroughly enjoy the spyder ryding.
I have had no issues with the machine that required extra care.
I love to watch the faces on the parishioners when I ride up to the church on the spYder.

I love lamp, but the Spyder is a close 2nd !

[Recluze]

23,000 miles and every time I come upon a twisty road a grin comes on my face that is hard to describe.

When I sit back and consider the new technology they have put into this bike, I am impressed with how trouble free these things are. I would by another, newer one but really have no reason to do that.

[Dukester]

I just got over 3000 miles and the only problem I have is the parking brake. So far it's been running like a champ. Got some long runs planned the next couple of weeks. Need to test out my new GPS my wife got me for my birthday. Seeing more and more in our area, Macungie Pa, outside of Allentown. Take care all and ride safe.

[Twodog185]

I get asked why I would sell my softail, and buy a Spyder.

To bring back enjoyment into riding. Simple. It's fun.

To own a Spyder, you need to have "jetson" style outlook, with "old school" imagination. Nothing like developing what you need instead of waiting for the mass marketplace.

Thanks for all your help Lamonster....really.

8000 MILES AND LOVING IT!

Lamont in your pic of JB you have the LED light set and in pen a number written which of the two are you set at the light it is on or the number written. just curious been payin with mine? Oh and 9200 miles and every mile is better than the last

[Dudley]

Our SE5 has 10,600 miles and still humming. No issues to speak of, just keeps on running. We have it tour ready and we start on our long vacation on June 20th. We are going with confidence in the Spyder. The trip will be about 10,000 miles or so. We hope to meet some of you as we travel. We will have a computer with us and post daily with pics and a short recap of each day and our next day's route. For all of you going to LA, enjoy and ryde safe!

[Some Guy]

Yep...I do love my Spyder! I have 4,500 miles on it and the only thing that has gone wrong is someone broke off my license plate reflector (it really is broken, not a "falling off" issue). It's a blast to ryde and everyone stares at me when I'm ryding. I figure, if they're looking at me, they're running into someone else!!!

That's mode and the number to set it at in each mode.
