• 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.

    Has anyone ever made a Spyder hyper motorcycle?

    That may be true, but they aren't pushing 850 to 1100 lbs on those...way different. They can say that all they want like many of the other reliability claims they made with the Spyder. Spyders have had all sorts of transmission issues since release, front pulley shears being a big one.

    Obligatory post-I tell you all the stuff you already know...

    Please don't tell me people are actually walking around saying they are part of the "1330 club"...that is damn lame.

    Has anyone ever made a Spyder hyper motorcycle?

    It doesn't matter, the crank is the usual weak spot like so many sport vtwins. You need a serious gear ratio/ final drive change or you will always be confined to to the same low speed redline wall. It won't take something with as much output as the aerocharger had to get you there, the spyder...

    Has anyone ever made a Spyder hyper motorcycle?

    It would be nice to be just a little quicker and hit redline in fifth without a struggle, but you are so close without the turbo already. He's trapped with the confines of a low geared 5 spd transmission, even with 6th, one of those larger pulleys that were available and a thinner larger...

    It looks like I have something to do when I get home from work tonight.

    Might be able to save some of that wrap as a banner on the wall.

    Blowing fuses Help!

    Some dealers only work exactly in the allowed time frame preset to a task BRP assigns for trouble shooting, they sometimes have to allow for restoring removed parts to normal. That eats alot of time and doesn't allow for improvisational visual inspection. You may just simply have a friction...

    New to the Spyder and have a couple questions

    The throttle lock thing is a little odd and sometimes irritating if not riding alone (tring to adjust for other bikes) beyond giving the hand a break, they don't compensate obviously for hills or wind etc. Throttle mate is fairly cheap and discrete. There are aftermarket cruise controls out...

    2 1/2 years later, still having DPS and stalling issues...

    Weird, sounds like the terminal lugs of the tender wiring were touching frame or bouncing off giving you the intermittent steering. Without seeing it, I guess it could be the battery portion of the tender harness internally shorting like at the connection point or the connector touching...

    Got my first Spyder-hater

    Wow...it's ironic he knowingly consents his machine is inferior, but it would take 4 HD purchases until he understands.:shocked:

    IN NEED OF YOUR PRAYERS!!!!!!!!

    Prayers until the finally. My only advice is to hit the speech therapy if needed and the physical therapy ASAP like he's going for MMA. Don't let the injuries define you.

    2020 Spyder!

    That would be cool if all three wheels were 3 phase brushless motors.

    Got my first Spyder-hater

    If you want something, you should get that item, because that is what you wanted. Harley's are what they always have been and that is their market version. Thankfully that I know of, they never made any ambulances, aircraft, emergency vehicles or military equipment other than courier bikes. It's...

    Got my first Spyder-hater

    Maybe he dated someones Nanni or had a bad Nanni as a kid? It's amazing how compartmentalized some peoples brains are...dirt + quad = fun...water + boat = fun...snow + yetti = run...road + tri...wait what? It's got 2 wheels in front? That's not a motorcycle! Yeah, and? I been yada yada...

    Slingshot has me curious!

    Probably one of the most fun vehicle you could own and not worry to much about...a ratty old convertible. Lots of old miatas, vw's, del sol's, mitsubishi spyders, hot rod and luxury convertibles out there for much less. While the Slingshots are made for all weather exposure, most will will...

    Eliminating "NANNY"

    It handles much better with more rigid sticky car tires than Kendas and lowering CG with switching the bars to cafe. You have to be just as animated on it as a sportbike and you feel like you were line dancing with a with a gorilla after a 20-30 minute track session...you sleep really good after...
