• 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.

    Special spark plugs?

    I was having some trouble (after 3k+ overhaul) at low rpms so I called for advice-they said probably need to change the plugs. I had them to change the plugs, and it seems to have solved the problem. They advised they had installed a new(?) hotter plug called a BOUGIE PLUG, and charged me $19.99...

    Can-Am Jacket

    I posted this information about a year ago. I had a new xxxlarge First Owner jacket and traded it here for a new xlarge thinking it might fit. Now I have a NEW Xlarge that is too big for me. I would like to trade it for a smaller size if anyone is interested--or I would sell it. I can be reached...

    DPS

    I have a 2008 with 25,000 plus miles and have had NO problems with anything including the steering. Now with the recall on the DPS, I am in a quandry. I have talked to 2 owners that had the recall done, and are not happy with the results--one of which even sold his bike because he was not happy...

    I like to see them do this with a Spyder

    Lamonster I can't find a similiar post to reply to-perhaps this will work. I bought my Spyder new in April of 08, and now have 24,900+ trouble free miles on it. The only modification has been a muffler change. I went to the drag races yesterday-curious about 1/4 mile performance. It was...

    2010 Spyder

    Has anyone purchased or ridden the 2010? If so, would you comment on how good all the new stuff works. Also with the reduction in Horsepower, how is the preformance compared to the 08 and 09's ?

    ok guys help silly girl here...

    I had the "upgrade" by the dealer a couple of weeks ago, and the bike does not perform as before. 'Burbles' between 3K and 4k in all gears, and backfires occassionally then the throttle is rolled back. I just got off the phone with the dealer-they say they can re-check it, but have no way to...

    My 600 Mile Service Results – Your opinion?

    600 mile service When I bought my Spyder, the nearest dealer was 700 miles. By the time I needed my first service, there was a dealer in Kansas City,250 miles away. I contacted them twice and asked about their ability to properly service the spyder and was assured they were qualified, so I made...

    SM5 Hesitation or lurching

    Lurching You say 2100lbs on it-Maybe thats the problem. Seriously, I ride an 08 SM5 and have 14,000 trouble free miles. I did install the Hindle @10,000 which improved sound and performance. I have no other engine modifications, and use 87 octane fuel. The problem you describe is not "normal"...

    How soon did you change the rear tire? Mine is about at the indicator?

    Tire Wear As a GENERAL rule, tread wear across the tire is a result of tire pressure. Higher pressure causes center tread wear-lower pressure causes outer tread wear. If you are carrying a heavier load, more pressure is required than with a lighter load. I weigh 180 and seldom carry a...

    oil

    My friend's "Dealership" is a Honda dealer, and just started the Spyder sales and service. I wasn't too impressed with their knowledge on the Spyder. I did go to his house and made sure he was using the correct procedure. While there I called my service dept in Arkansas, and their recommendation...

    oil

    A friend of mine who rides an SE5 had no oil on the dipstick (after 1400 miles without checking it) was told by his dealer to add 1/2 quart of 5-40 non- detergent, recheck, and add to the correct level. He was told they mix synthetic and non-detergent to increase clutch life. Anyone familiar...
