• 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.

    Riding down the mountain

    Here is a dumb question for a new rider. What do you need to do to ride a SE5 Spyder down a steep grade without wearing out the brakes? I would put a car in a lower gear. What do you do on a motorcycle?

    New Man here:)

    Take the time the test drive all the models. They vary quite a bit in feel and handling. Spyders are a great choice to extend your riding life. Welcome to the forum. Lots of good information here.

    Calling all Spyder owners

    Took my first ride on an older RS in a parking lot. Didn't like it. Thought it was hard to steer and felt like I couldn't turn at more that 3 mph with getting pulled off. A year later took a test ride on an STL at a dealership. Came back with huge grin on my far and bought the bike.

    Spyder vs other trikes

    Consider adding the Baharon Sway Bar and a laser alignment. Since I did those two things I am able to handle curves faster and with less effort.

    This is why old Spyder Riders don't get hired

    I would have hired him on the spot and put him in charge of customer support.

    Different shocks?

    I read somewhere that the 2014 STS has Fox racing shocks and the STL has different, softer shocks. Any body else know anything about that?

    Wish I had known sooner...

    Wish I had known sooner… When I got my Spyder ST-L in June, I knew I had a learning curve ahead of me. Months later I was better but disappointed to still be struggling with holding the bike in a curve. I also found myself wondering if I should have gotten an RT. I thought perhaps the RT...

    Half cover

    Anybody know of a half cover that will fit over a ST-L that has the passenger backrest and the ISCI armrests?

    How far out?

    When you had the laser alignment done, how far out was your alignment?

    Laser alignment question

    Is checking the belt tension important to the laser alignment?

    Laser alignment question

    Is the laser alignment something that lasts or do you need to redo it every time you hit a bump?

    Milage

    Have you tried adding a backrest and armrests? Makes passenger feel very safe.

    Bought those armrests for our STL. Love them!

    Thinking about a RT-S or Limited

    I use to be afraid of motorcycles, but I love our Spyder. I feel very safe and relaxed as the passenger. It took a few rides to get me to let go of the death grip on the handles, but one day I just realized I washed going to fall off. So much more fun that being a tourist in a car. You can...
