New Spyder owner from Broome (Australia)
Yesterday (24/03/2014) I took delivery of a 2008 Spyder RS SM5 with only 2,800km on the clock! I purchased this from the original selling dealer (Savage Motorcyles, Perth) and this is genuine mileage (kilometerage?) on a machine that's really never been used. Only options fitted are the matt black panels, mudguards, etc., and the Hindle exhaust.
I'm coming from a Harley Davidson, so this Spyder will take a bit of getting used to - low tech to high tech?
Anyhow, I'm in Perth for several weeks so will have time to become accustomed before the 2,300km home trip.
BTW: Savage Motorcycles assure me that any/all recalls and software updates on this machine have been attended to, but is there any way of checking?
Anything I should be watching out for on this 6 year old, but incredibly low mileage, machine?

They can print out a BUDS report of all updates , I believe. I think you can go on the BRP web site and see what was issued for that year. Have a safe and enjoyable ride home!

Welcome to the best Spyder forum on the 'net. Due to the age, years and heat I would have all rubber hoses on the engine checked for being deteriorated. Good luck.

Congrats on your new ride my advice would be to have all rubber tyres ect checked as well as have the iol changed due to the down time and lack of use. Sounds like u have made a great deal on your first spyder enjoy.

Welcome
You might also like to join Oz Spyderryder Forum there are fellow WA ryders there too. Between this forum and the Aussie ones you should find lots of useful info.
we are in Adelaide , South Australia. This years Australian Spyder Royale is to be held in SA. Last year we had one Perth Ryder ryde over to Lorne VIC for the event. Make sure you have been registered with BRP Aust, dealer should have done for you but not always, and you should receive an invite when they confirm location. You would have seen the dates on Spydermate, they are also on home page of Oz Spyderryders.com
Enjoy the Spyder, read the tips for new owners found on this site.
cheers Michele
