• 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.

    Another "Check DPS" warning

    I had looked up the procedure and true, it isn't hard. Just a PIA taking your front end apart. Right now I"m living with a friend and not really set up to do mechanical work. If I was back in my house I would have done it. Don't think I"m taking it back to that shop for anything major.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I installed the touring windshield that came with the Spyder I got. I've only rode with it once. Not sure if I like it... Looks less sporty.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Some repairs and upgrades. I just got my 08 Spyder GS SM5 back from the shop after almost a month. Had the DPS Unit replace :banghead:, new front tires, ball joint replaced and had an alignment done. They also fixed two recalls. Something with a gas evap hose and a new gas cap. I replaced the...

    Glad I came across this post! I just upgraded the bulbs on my 08 Spyder. What a PIA! Even cut my finger. lol But, fairly straight forward. I ended up using Sylvania (H7) SilverStar zXe Gold bulbs. https://amzn.to/38SEhDf

    Anyone have Rivco Floorboards fitting experience? Brake pedal extenders?

    Glad you posted about these. I'm looking to get a set in a week or 2. Didn't realize the break pedal would end up in the center of the board.

    Jumped started my Spyder GS and caught something on fire!

    I tried my dealer and he can't even find the cable in their system and no luck online. Looks like I may have to buy a new sport trunk. Luckily, I've seen some for around $130-$150. Still expensive. But better than the $400+ I've also seen.

    Changed my DPS unit

    Lucky. I just paid $1700 to have my DPS replaced. I don't see why the DPS costs $1200! Should have done it myself and saved the $500 labor fee.

    Another "Check DPS" warning

    Forgot to ask. What they charge you? My bill was just under $1,700 for the DPS replacement. Tech said it was leaking fluids.

    Another "Check DPS" warning

    Oh man. Hope they got it fixed for ya. I just got my 08 Spyder back from the dealer yesterday. Been in the shop since I bought it a month ago. They replaced the DPS, new front tires, tie rod and a couple recalls. I rode it for about an hour and then took it to work. So far so good. It's my...

    Haven’t tried them yet. I’ll check out these two shops next time I need work done. Thanks!

    Any good shops in the Northern Virginia Area or Culpeper, Va?

    Hi All, Anyone know of any good shops in the Northern Virginia Area, besides Coleman Power Sports in Falls Church? or any shops around Culpeper, Va. They are just to darn busy for their own good and the service reps leave something to be desired. Have my Spyder there now for some work. But...

    Would you rent out your Spyder ??

    I'll probably be renting out my 08 Spyder for a while. I'll use the cash to fund some other projects. I don't think I'd do it if I had a new one.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I finally got my plates! Too bad the Spyder is in the shop. I've had it for almost 3 weeks and only was able to go up and down my street a couple times.
