• 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.

    Problem: SE5 sometimes not shifting out of first gear-

    If it turns out to be oil, what is best to use to top it off? I've only had the dealership do so, so I'm unsure of the brand.

    Problem: SE5 sometimes not shifting out of first gear-

    Hey guys! I've had my 2012 RTS for about 3 months now, and haven't had a single problem with it until now. Recently, it has been having some intermittent problems shifting out of first gear. When I paddle up at my normal RPM range (about 5500 or thereabouts), the engine loses a lot of RPMs...

    Why You Never See Spyders

    Hey now, I'm 28 and I have a spyder RT-S! No kids though, so I suppose that's one income sink I don't have to fight with.

    Youngest Spyder Owner

    I'm 28 and own an RT. Got it when I was 27, and haven't looked back since. I love it, and screw what anyone else thinks. They aren't riding it, after all.

    New Spyder1Attitude exhaust, RTS-8-B

    A few weeks ago I decided in earnest to purchase myself some new pipes for my RTS, and after some careful reviews of different models and types, I went with the Spyder1Attitude 8-B series (Dualies). Ordered on Monday, they shipped them Wednesday, and they arrived on Friday. Unfortunately for me...

    The Value of Wearing Good Gear

    I typically wear full face helmet (Always), Gloves (90% of the time or more), Boots (Always), and leather jacket (90%+). Depending on distance and speed, I'll usually wear leather pants as well (Can-Am vented with mesh inside). I'm not ATGATT, but I'm pretty close. I dress for the crash as much...

    The biker's "CODE" of friendly hello's? NOT today!!!!

    I wave to everyone, except the scooter crowd here. They are notorious for stealing helmets, since it was made law for them. We call them 'Mo-pagans', and they tend to be made up of the old drunks (DUIs) and young fools (15 y/o kids who can't control them, and don't know anything about road...

    Real Bike?

    Typically, the US Army seal (Sticker) on the back of my spyder, along with the various 'Combat Medic' and 'OIF Veteran' tend to dissuade idiot remarks. I get one or two from time to time, but most people keep their snide remarks to themselves. Also, I think that I get some 'credibility' from...

    Pedestrian with child shoots at driver not yielding

    Playing Devil's Advocate here, so stick with me: It may not be staged. In Russia, it is typically very difficult to get a handgun that does not fire rubber bullets for self defense. It could be one of those, and he simply winged a shot at the car with one of these low-velocity 'belly guns'.

    Rider explains why the Spyder is not a motorcycle

    I forced my way through this video, and found myself shaking my head many, many times. As one of the younger riders here (28), I seem to catch flak from time to time for riding a spyder. I hear the term 'pussy' thrown out in the video, but I find it interesting that no one has said it to my face...

    Unhappy rider

    Some people. I get that around where I live too, from time to time (In the sticks). My favorite is when someone in a car yells something like "You shoulda' got a HARLEY!" while they drive away in their SUV.

    The biker's "CODE" of friendly hello's? NOT today!!!!

    I admit, I get a little annoyed when I throw out the casual wave to someone on a really nice cruiser/touring bike, and get a stare of disgust in return (usually in smaller towns, I'm sort of betting it is the 'weekend warrior crowds'). I will say that I have RARELY not gotten a return wave from...

    It's been an exhausting few days...over 600 miles on our Spyders since Thursday!

    I totally understand the exhaustion, but it seems like you had a good time! I also did about 600 and change between Thurs. and Fri.! I hit 'Avoid highways' on the GPS and let loose. It took me some Bass-Akwards way to where I was going (and coming home- different route), but it was amazing!

    PULL THE PLUG??

    Hey, quick question- I'm new to working on bikes, so what do you mean by plugs? Does it effect milage, or mess with the computer?

    Spyder ryder near Princeton WV, I saw you!

    Hey bud! Not sure if you are on this forum or not, but the brief view that I had of your white RT-L was NICE. I was heading back form a trip to SWVA, and it was awesome to see another spyder on the road, if heading the other direction! Nice riding group, as well! Cheers! :clap:

    car wash for spyder?

    I have taken my Spyder to the car wash a number of times, especially with the prevalence of pollen around here this time of year. I've never concerned myself with covering anything before spraying it down, though I will not use any sort of pressure while working around any intakes, or the...

    Adventures on the Skyline Drive, with Uther the Shiba Inu as Co-pilot!

    He didn't like them at first, but after a few minutes of wear, proper correcting when he dug at them, and proper rewarding when not doing so, he learned to just accept them! He absolutely HATES to wear them when we aren't on the Spyder, but once he hops up, he doesn't mind one bit.
