• 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.

    Hope you're all happy now!

    Maybe they Tired of the Tire thread Just my 2 cents here but I feel that people are pretty darn civil on this forum. I see a lot of good advice and general respect shared on Spyderlovers. What annoys me are the ones that are experts from everything from Big Foot to Bull Riding. Their advice is...

    Amish Buggy

    We have Amish communities here in Wisconsin. I haven't met a buggy with the Spyder yet but have often with my other vehicles. I always slow down and give them a wide berth whenever possible, as much for the people as well as the horse. On a related subject; I wouldn't care to hit the "used...

    Black RT

    Not sure what you mean by "blacked out". Mine is black and came with a nice combination of a matte and gloss finish.

    One of the greatest Singers of our time has passed

    Aretha & Elvis... Both Aretha and Elvis died on the same calendar date, August 16th. He was 42 and she 74. The next time you need a trivia question....pull that one out of your hat. (or wherever you keep your trivia)

    Well the weekend started out great

    I have the same year and model and had the same code the first month or so. Limped in to the dealer, replaced under warranty the same day and has been good ever since. I've seen others with the same issue....makes ya wonder doesn't it?

    To cover or not to cover...

    I have one of each depending on the need or conditions. The full cover is a bit more involved when used but completely covers the Spyder. The half cover is easier to use as it is smaller but still covers the windshield, dash, seat and rear storage.

    9 month goal to be F3L owner

    Good plan and your goals are admirable. I can't speak for others but some …. (me) could use a bit less of the "impulse" when it comes to all things Spyder. This is my second summer on my Spyder and every ride is better than the last. I would compare the ride when cornering more like a four wheel...

    Tamper Proof Hardware

    First a little history; this is my second summer on my Spyder, a 2016 RT Special. She's been in to the dealer twice, once for an error code and the second time for her annual oil & filter change. Thus, I've never had a need to remove any panels. A couple of weeks ago one of the hex screws that...

    Bring back to reality and tell me why not to make an offer on this

    That's a very nice Nordic, museum quality actually. Wish they had before and after, side by side photos which would show how much work goes into a project like this. As with any restoration, you almost never see a profit on your time and materials. This is probably priced right for the market at...

    A real How old are you poll

    Since there's no button for us in their 60's I guess I'll just sit over here in the corner and watch the fun. (wish I were under 20 but that ain't gonna happen)

    Do I harm my Spyder's engine if I shift at higher RPMs?

    I doubt if you're harming the engine in any way. You might notice lesser miles per gallon which may harm you wallet.;)

    Battery life

    Most are automatic, regardless of the battery being serviced. Just as long as the packaging is labeled "battery tender or battery maintainer". Usually around 20 to 25 dollars for one. Just attach the two clamps to the terminals and plug it in, it'll do the rest.
