• 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.

    Stupid!! To have to remove 4 Panels and 2 plugs just to change the oil & filters!

    My 2 cent's worth on the subject. if you do not have a skinned owie, or a stripped bolt/nut, or a missing fastener, you are CLEARLY NOT BONDING WITH YOUR SPYDER. It is a gentle and loving learning curve...... Think about it.

    Only heat issue with mine is a scorching hot summer day sitting in traffic, then you can feel it on the right hand side, not unbearable, but noticeable. Other wise never had an issue.

    considering purchasing a GS. What issues / concerns should I be aware of?

    Bought mine new, 08 gs sm5. A few glitches, some recalls, regular maintenance, replaced rear rubber, my fault, had to check it out and see what it is capable of. Still have it and still love it, only drawback is living in Igloo country, riding time is short. Good luck too you.:yes:
