• 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.

    Spyder Rental?

    Thanks! Unfortunately it looks from their web site like they're in AZ and CO, not CA. Something to keep in mind though if there's no one closer!

    Spyder Rental?

    I was looking into renting a Spyder to spend a few days with one to see if I could really adjust to the handling, but the rates Eagle Rider are charging in L.A. are just too much - $240/day, which seems crazy to me as it is, plus that only gets you 100 miles, so by the time you spend a few hours...

    BRP not talking

    I think he was looking for opinions as to how to get satisfaction, rather than people arguing that one day in ten of ownership in the shop should be fine, suggestions that BRP shouldn't replace burnt panels if they aren't immediately/already flaking off paint on the outside or cracked, etc...

    BRP not talking

    Just to offer an alternative perspective here, IMHO, two months in the shop for problem after problem is a LOT of downtime/shop time, and not replacing panels that got burnt would have been unacceptable to me too (the paint may look fine now, but may be flaking off wrecked or the panels may...

    Spyderlovers custom spyders

    If you do a stealth unit with detector, use matte paint and apply the materials folks use to keep the headlight from reflecting laser, add a GPS with speed & red light camera warnings, etc. - you could do a whole stealth themed unit.

    RS vs RSS -- your thoughts on which way I should go???

    When I was first looking at these a couple of years ago, folks were having trouble with the SE5 transmissions - did they work through these issues? Now that I'm in the market again, wondering if changes were made and this stuff got worked out.

    RS vs RSS -- your thoughts on which way I should go???

    So, I posted another thread about it (which I may delete), but since folks are talking about it here, I'm curious - has anyone actually tried the RS-S and the RS back to back and could you tell the difference between the shocks? Any thoughts on the comparison?

    Where did the weight come from?

    Hmmmm. Interesting. I guess I'm just thinking that my old '87 Honda CRX was only 1950 lbs by comparison - if you add two 200 lb passengers, sans luggage, you're at travel weight of nearly 1400 lbs, so the comments about HP, etc. make some sense here. If you're used to motorcycle type...

    Where did the weight come from?

    It's obvious to me that some of the changes to the RT (adding bags, widening the track, etc.) would add some weight, but 200 lbs is a LOT of weight to add and it's not obvious to me where some of this extra pork lies. Ideas folks?

    Will she dump me?

    Hi all, seriously considering a Spyder and quick question here. I took a test ride on Saturday and found the Spyder very intriguing. (Got lost on my test ride, pulled out my iPhone, and got directions without getting off the Spyder! Gotta love that.) However, on tight right hand turns, it...

    im new

    What's the specified protocol? I went for a test ride yesterday and the dealer had given out their tester (ostensibly to a magazine) and so put me on a brand new bike with 0 miles. I rode it for 10 miles and kept it under 5k, didn't go too hard on the brakes so as not to glaze the rotors...

    Hi all, new here and first time poster. What if anything was changed on the 2009s other than the MSRP?
