New ST owners

[spyderbirds]

Just announcing that we are the Happy owners of a 2013 ST.

Had the Cat bypass done along with a BajaRon anti-sway bar and all is good 3300 miles and ticking on the new ride already.

Of course we did have it aligned shortly after picking it up.

Hats off to the folks at FunCenter Powersports in Durango, CO for the way they treated us while in town for the owners event.
They are a class act in the way they stepped up servicing our new spyder (selling dealer neglected doing any of the recalls).IMAG0111.jpg

Enjoy your ST!

[Chupaca]

sounds like you have your new ryde set up nicely. Seems those guys in the midwest know how things should be done..

Yes the folks out in the heartland can make customer service something special.
I think given the chance there are a lot of good dealers, just some bad apples out there...

Traveling as much as we do for work, I cant say we have a dealer... Have dealt with several around the country and more often than not have had good experiences. (do most of the maintenance ourselves on the spyders)

Congrats on the new ride!!!! I got a 2013 ST this year also and it's the only way to go

If Durango, CO is "midwest" then I guess I'm in the middle east

I still cannot get over that the selling dealer in Texas had not done any of the recalls/service bulletins on this Spyder. That includes ball joints and the recall for melting parts. It scares me to think what could have happened if you had not taken it to Fun Center for the first service.

Ann, you are so right. I wonder how many spyder have not had these items done...
We all know not all spyder owners are on here to get the info on issues like these.

2nd oil change under its belt.
ST used no oil during this cycle. that is nice, its older sibling the 2010 RT has always used a bit of oil.
(they are playing nice with each other so far)

Have to keep them separate or they'll fight.

"Ride me!" "No, ride me!"

Seriously had the front trunk off as well but it was back on before these photos were taken.
Nice to know how it all fits together.

Nice garage!!!!!!!!

[spyderbirds]

Nice garage!!!!!!!!

Have to fess up to that location, Its at work, lots of open space to do things on the weekend.
Our garage is a whopping 8.5 x 14 in back of the Viper toyhauler, It would be extremely crowded with that much dis-assembly!!
