• 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.

    DPS out again after update

    I see there seems to be a lot of questions, but computer systems are out of my league. Mechanics, I can handle and fix or work on most anything, but when it comes to electronics, I can just listen. As for my ride home and around home, I tried it at all speeds up to about 75 mph and around...

    DPS out again after update

    Well picked up the Spyder today, and ride home (50-60 miles) was uneventful. Rode around town some today and everything seems to be working fine. Hope the situation has been corrected. Here is what the service tech wrote as the problem. "Problem with the unit was losing connection between...

    DPS out again after update

    Can you compare the RT riding feeling to your RS? No comparison, the RT was a much smoother ride and a lot more comfortable for me. I'm use to a Harley Ultra Classic and it felt much more like my Harley. Also felt much larger. Of course this will cost quite a bit more $$$ than the RS. If a...

    My Turn To Have Power Steering Problems

    Sorry to hear about your problem, we are going through the same thing right now. On my way back from the dealer today, it got so bad that it seemed that the steering was stuck all the time. I had a difficult time, but mine was hard to correct to the left, right did not seem as bad (I think)...

    DPS out again after update

    Thanks groundeffects. I sure hope they can find a solution as my wife really loves her spyder (even with the DPS issue, I enjoyed the ride today, different from my Harley, but nice). While they were working on mine, I got a chance to ride a RT, that thing is really nice, but hope they don't...

    DPS out again after update

    Last week the steering on the wife's Spyder started locking up. Brought it in today and did the update. On my way home (approximately 50 miles from the dealer), it started locking again. Now it seems worst than before and can hardely make a lane change. Called the dealer and of course, said...

    DYNA BEADS... Does anyone use this product?

    I use them in my Harley tires and work great. However, we may have an issue with using them in the Spyder tires especially the rear. I think they would work in the front, but if I remember correctly, there is some statement on low profile tires that suggest that Dyna Beads will not work as...

    New Owner

    Thanks Wow, thanks for such a warm welcome. There was really more to the story, but to cut through the details, my oldest daughter told me that if I bought her mom a motorcycle and she got into an accident, she through I should be charged with man slaughter (needless to say she hates my...

    New Owner

    Well, not exactly. My wife has been wanting to ride her own for some time. Having only ridden with me and our age (60+ so you are never too old to start), we made the decision that maybe a Spyder was the right thing for her. Well, we did it and in a couple days she has been taking short...
