• 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.

    where did everyone disappear to

    Newbie... Hi guys. I am new to the forum and Spyder riding in general. Just got a 2012 RS SE model few weeks ago and am still getting used to it and been modifying it a bit. Could someone recommend a good mechanic to work on a bike in Central NJ area. I got the bike at Xtreme Machines, but...

    A Convertible top/bimini for the Spyder?

    I am pretty sure they already have a 3-wheeler with a top. It is called t-rex. How much of a bike that is, could be argued....

    Whistling sound while riding at around 25mph

    NJ has the helmet law, so I cannot ride without it. However, having said that; I tried riding without it in the immediate neighborhood and hear the same thing. I feel it is something to do with downshifting; almost going too slow in high gear, like 25mph in 2nd gear. So, I will try the same...

    Whistling sound while riding at around 25mph

    Thanks... I should have said that this is happening while downshifting, so only for a small period of time while the gears a caught up on the SE model.

    Whistling sound while riding at around 25mph

    Hi guys, I wanted to run something by you to see if it is just me... While riding on my RS, in 2nd or 3rd gear at around 25 to 30mph I am hearing whistling sound coming from the front of the bike. I think it is sort of an air flowing through something, but it is odd. I am new to the RS riding...

    Spyder Sightings

    That would be me, but I was by myself, the other bikes were just passing me. I was actually out looking for othe Spyder riders, but didn't see you. I have been doing few runs on weekends, up 195 to Turnpike to Exit 8 and then down 33 back to Jackson, or in reverse to 7A on Turnpike. 4 weekends...

    Parking in public...

    Do you remember or do you know the model number of the Gorrilla Alarm you have? Is it just an alarm or is it a 2-way pager that notifies you if someone is trying to F with your machine? Thanks

    I want a spyder bad, but looking for input!

    My 2 cents.... I am 39, been married for 16 years and have two kids: 14 and 11. I spend 5 days a week in a suit and tie from 6am to 7pm. I have had different bikes before, but never enjoyed riding them and I am not sure why. Spyders have been appealing since I first saw one in Montreal, while...

    Parking in public...

    OK, so here is a million dollar question: what makes you think, that "the idiot who's thinking what could happen if i sit on this bike" is actually thinking? In most cases, nobody thinks when they do something like that. I am a new owner of a Spyder and haven't yet parked it unattended, but I...

    RS-S SE question

    Very useful information here.... So, I just got the SE5 about 4 weeks ago, but am still getting used to it, including shifting up and down. What I just read here will be a tremendous help, as for starters I tended to gear up at around 3500 RPMs, but looks like 4500 is what is recommended. Can't...

    Bought the HMF exhaust

    Could someone recommend if it is a good idea to rejet the carburetor if the exhaust is exchanged for after market? I had a bit of a mishap with the bike and needed a new pipe. Bought the TwoBrothers slip on and installed it. No issues per say, but I do notice when gearing down, it coughs and...

    "Biker" attitudes... Good and Bad...

    Interesting post... So, I have been on the RS for 3 weeks now and had a custom cruiser before that. I guess the observations mentioned so far are accurate; to date, in 3 weeks, I got 2 waves and both were from local guys who knew me by the painted helmet, which I alway wear. So, I must say, I...

    How To Mount any Gizmo/ iPhone/ Garmin

    Hi guys. New to the forum and to the Spyder family. Just picked up 2012 RS SE5 and starting to modify it a bit. Like the idea of the GPS on it, but noticed this post is for RT. Can someone advise if similar is available for RS model. Thanks in advance.
