• 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.

    How do you get an SE5 into neutral?

    Thanks you all. I'll try the short tap from first. Tried regular taps before, doesn't do anything. From reverse I have no problem shifting into neutral. Thanks for the links, I'll download the manual :)

    How do you get an SE5 into neutral?

    Bought a 2010 RS-S (it was a deal I could not pass up), and it's great, but it's an SE5 and I'm only used to the manual shift so far. The bike did not come with an owner's manual and I haven't looked it up online yet (I apologize, I do plan on getting it and actually reading it) but if...

    So I drop in at my local stealership...

    I bought my F3S there and despite a couple of minor hiccups (mainly having to do with them being swamped that day), everything was great. Flew all the way from Seattle to get it. I would not hesitate to buy from them again. No, I am not affiliated with Louis powersports nor am I getting...

    I just hit a deer.

    Oh bummer! Sorry to hear that. Glad you got away with scrapes and bruises. It would be good to put the deer to good use-maybe venison stew? :) We have a bunch of deer around, I have to REALLY watch out for them because they blend in so well. I hope you get your Spyder fixed soon and enjoy...

    New front tires - Potenza

    Welcome James :). I read through a bunch of the reviews in the link, and they sounded believable, but what struck me as strange was the consistency of the dates in the reviews. I research just about any product before I buy it (as well as writing brutally honest reviews on them when I feel it...

    2010 RS-S paint scheme ideas?

    It's nice to see a Spyder in Sweden! I've only been there once and only got as far as the airport (it was a layover in Stockholm) but always wanted to go back in the winter :)

    Spyder models

    Then you have a GS which is basically the same thing as an RS (they "updated" the name).

    BRP Welcome to the family Packets

    Same here: would love to have a pin or a patch or something! So far all I got were email with surveys regarding my experience at the dealerships.

    Belt loose

    My belt was slipping off too, I just adjusted it today with advice from fellow Spyderlovers. Super easy to do. But it sure helps to have the adjuster in place-if you took it off, wouldn't hurt to put it back on! :)

    Potential causes for the belt sliding off? 2010 RS-S SE5

    Fixed the belt today (rear axle adjustment, the rear wheel was definitely misaligned). Works great, went for a nice frosty ride at 31 degrees! Spyder works great, thanks to all for advice!

    Is the F3 worth 7-10k more than a RSS to you?

    I have both. I love both. But if I could only have one, I'd keep the F3. Funny enough though, I am so used to the "crotch rocket" riding position, that on long stretches of road I sometimes put my feet on the rear pegs on the F3. Only when I see that there is nothing pretty far ahead though...

    2010 RS-S paint scheme ideas?

    Ha ha, the latter! :D. Actually, I have a herd of SAABs and their symbol is a griffon. Also, my F3S reminds me of a griffon: big chest, sharp beak, slender behind ;).

    Rear End Collision Detection Using Wi-Fi

    A year ago (on my birthday, no less) I was sitting at a long red light in my minivan. Visible as can be, all 3 brake lights lit up like a Christmas tree. A minute into the red light, a lady slammed into my van at an angle (she realized she could not stop so she swerved, totaled her car, left a...

    I've got some serious electrical issues

    SUUUPER LAME!!! Sorry to hear this :(. Good job finding the problem though! I hope you have comprehensive insurance on the Spyder... I'm sure they can fix it in a jiffy :)

    2010 RS-S paint scheme ideas?

    Ooh, I like the blue on white :) How long do those typically last? My Spyder isn't a garage queen, spends a lot of time out in the elements (but I try to park it under cover when not riding).

    Does anyone ride naked?

    Ha ha, there you go and remind me of that crazy movie! LOL

    Potential causes for the belt sliding off? 2010 RS-S SE5

    Seems to be while going forward. Will try to adjust it today and see how that goes :)

    Does anyone ride naked?

    Ha ha, I'm glad you all have a sense of humor :) Here's the bike as it currently sits. Hoping to make a custom nose for it (don't worry, either it will look very tasteful or the stock nose will go back on).

    Good thinking, I will take a look.
