There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks Weapon. I will do that. While it is in there, I will have them adjust the fox racing shocks too to stiffen up the ride (to 4-5). Even though they are new for 2013, I am sure they could benefit from the same adjustments as previous year models. Also, will make sure the tire pressure on the fronts are 20-21 lbs.

:welcome: and :congrats: on your new :spyder:...................Lookin' good!:yes:
Thanks Retired1, I am bringing it back to the shop tonight to get them to check it out completely.
So, took the Spyder to the dealership and explained the uneasy feeling I was getting at speed. I thought it was me to begin with and that I just wasn't used to the front end with 2 wheels instead of the 1 on my Busa. They had it all day long and even switched off between my RSS and a ST to really get a good comparison. The issue ended up being the front end out of alignment. I think someone on this forum said to have them check for that - you were right! :thumbup:
It feels MUCH better now and I am happy with the results! I even had them stiffen up the suspension by 1 click too since they were going to have it up in the air. Can't wait to take it out for a long ride now with the wife and start racking up some miles. :clap:

cyclelover63 - I sold a 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa to get the Spyder. I am in law enforcement, so I really don't need to be going that fast anyways. Also, with an 8 year old daughter, my wife and I wanted to get back into doing what we used to do - traveling all over and watching the motorcycle races. Since I came from a sporty background, I opted to go with the RSS for the handling and its look. The wife will most likely go with the ST with my daughter. She is looking forward to hers too. Then it's just a matter of getting a trailer that will hold both of them really nicely for those super long trips. Anyone have any good thoughts on trailers for 2 spyders you would recommend?

Wow, very impressive! Dang it though, makes me wanna upgrade already! But, audio on the RS model? Or is it cause it's a shared instrument cluster?

Very nice! It is good to see a RS-S review here for the 2013 models. I would say majority of the posts I have seen have been geared to the ST-S which makes since because they are really nice but even after seeing the new RS-S and the ST-S at the motorcycle show I still was in love with the RS-S. The added cruise control was a "cherry on top" of an already great tasting sundae. For me the sporty look of the front of the RS seals the deal. A couple of added "farkles" and it is perfect to me. Congrats!!!
On the color display, 2nd icon from the left is audio. The dealer was explaining that if you wanted to add an ipod or whatever, this is what would control it. All the buttons on the left handle bar (up, down, left, right) would allow you to switch tracks, etc.
Thanks! That cruise control works very well. Could have used it on the Busa as it vibrated my hands til they started to fall asleep. The Can Am however is amazingly smooth, fox racing suspension just soaks up even big bumps or irregularities in the road. On long trips when you need to use your right hand for something, it is nice to have the option of doing so without deaccelerating.
