• 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.

    Anyone else had problems with Fuel in oil? Ideas?

    Has anyone else had the problem of fuel getting into your oil? What was the cause? Even just replacing the fuel injectors you have to have B.U.D.S., right? What else could cause the fuel to get into the oil? Thanks for your ideas.

    What do you use for Cleaning and Protecting the matte bits?

    I used Maguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer on my 2008 GS. It did a great job on certain parts - the back rest, the mud flaps...but didn't do so well on some of the other black matte finish plastic - the dash, the passenger grip bars. It seems that not all the black matte finish parts are...

    Which Site do you prefer for downloading Service Manuals?

    I am a little late to the discussion I know, but just now saw this and wanted some further info. I downloaded a 'service manual' for my 2008 GS from another site, don't remember the name, I think it cost like $15. The biggest problem with it is that it is like a photo copy, which makes it very...

    Any ideas on where to get an SE5 2008 paddle shifter?

    well, it started not lucky when the paddle shifter broke! I looked and looked trying to find a part without having to buy that whole apparatus. Thought I was just going to have to buy one and use it for parts. Then I couldn't even find a used apparatus! I wasn't feeling too lucky by then. I...

    Any ideas on where to get an SE5 2008 paddle shifter?

    yes, thank you Isopedella. I have carefully placed those pieces in a cup with the screws from the cover so I don't lose anything. I thought about lube, I have some clear silicone grease, is that good to use? Thanks for your information!

    absolutely!!! You are a godsend!! Thank you so much!! Okay, I have purchased this part. I see that it is 3D printed. I have a 3D printer, but the design of this piece is beyond me, I am afraid. I thought about making the part, but I would like to have a piece and ride my Spyder in the...

    Hello all! I am asking if anyone has or knows where I can get a paddle shifter lever for my 2008 SE5. I don't know what years have the same parts. I do not need the whole entire assembly like everyone wants to sell, just the paddle shifter which has the paddle part snapped off. Please let me...

    Anyone got details on the Suspension zerks needed to make them easier to use?

    Thank you for your thoughts. Well, I bought this a year ago, from a guy that had bought it maybe 2 years previously from someone. He only rode it home after he bought it, I think that was it. He didn't realize you needed a motorcycle license to ride in Ohio. He offered it for sale, I tried...

    Anyone got details on the Suspension zerks needed to make them easier to use?

    What I did to my Spyder yesterday....2008 GS. I lubed the front suspension. I have a 90 degree adapter for my grease gun, but it was still a struggle; I like the idea of a 45 degree fitting better that Blue Knight offered. To make sure I get the correct fitting, does anyone, by any chance...

    Which belt guard is more important - top, or both?

    Bought a used 2008 GS, there are no belt guards on it. I see that Spyderpops sells the 'missing belt guard'. Is it more important to have the top guard, or shall I make sure to get both? Thanks for your comments!

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome msgoodwrench to SL

    Hello! and thanks! I just purchased a 2008 GS Spyder. Last week I sold my beloved 1983 Honda GL1100 Gold Wing as I am getting older and felt it would be better if I moved on, sadly. A friend of mine had let me ride his Spyder for a few days to try it out. It is not a motorcycle ride, but a...
