• 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.

    Help ...need help with SE5 oil change kit... HELP!!

    thanks guys. figured since the bottom filter had no opening on the side into the cover, away from the engine...so it made sense to my ignorant mind that the top filter would be likewise. Like to yell at the photobug and writer of the shop sheet in the kit for not specifying which end was in and...

    Help ...need help with SE5 oil change kit... HELP!!

    Since my Maintenance contract was up, I decided to do some wrenching myself. Got a Spyder 2008 GS SE5 oil change kit: the large bottom oil filter, little higher up 'transmission filter", o rings, brass washers for the tank drain and the engine drain. Took 45 min to get off all the "tupperware"...

    Front wheels

    19k miles on my OEM tires...still look cherry-new. Never heard of rotating them, but as they are directional treaded, the rubber would have to be removed and reversed.:doorag:

    unknown noise

    Have a strange noise on 2008 SE5 when driving above 40 mph...sounds like a plastic bag trapped up front. Not constant. Flip, flap occasionally. Stopped with the engine reving, the noise is not there...must be transmission or suspension, power steering?? Two different Spyder dealers have...

    Accident

    I took the Experienced Driver course several years ago. Practicing stopping in corners, panic stops, etc built up my confidence. When I got my Spyder, I installed extra tail and brake lites. Up front I placed a machine gun. Firing a burst of bullets seem to get the stupidest cager's attention

    Glad I never read this b4 I bought

    The CR report is misleading. Many activities in life require long term familiarity, such as firearms shooting, bowling, archery, golf... Too many folk look at CR as the gospel of testing, but they are way off the mark on this one. To give a fair and balanced report, they ought to drive one for...
