• 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.

    H7 Bulb Replacement

    I don't ride at night much. Last night my wife had our Spyder out in an RV park and came home after dark. She had no headlights! Today I checked the 30amp headlight fuse under the right side of the seat - no issue there. So then I went ahead and removed the instrument panel to access the bulbs...

    Elka Suspension

    Replaced the stock shocks and springs with Elka units this morning. I'm an ex-motorcycle roadracer and I have a fair amount of experience with shock (and fork) set-up. My main gripe with the stock shocks was stiction in the front. When riding through a sweeping curve the shock on the outside of...

    Is it an RS or a GS

    I have a 2009 and I'm confused - is it officially an RS or a GS? I thought the GS designation was only used in 2008, but maybe I'm wrong. My registration shows it as an RS based on VIN, but I often see posts here calling 2009s a GS.

    Thanks BajaRon

    I received a set of MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor spark plug wires and NGK iridium plugs from BajaRon today. Nicely packaged with clear instructions and even included packets of dielectric grease and heat sink paste. Great ignition wire set - Thanks BajaRon - my Spyder has never run this smooth.

    Misfire Mystery

    My 2009 RS has developed a problem that has me scratching my head. I'm technically savvy - I spent my entire career in technical service and quality for a major European auto manufacturer and I maintained ASE Master Certification. Here's what's happening: On start-up the engine runs fine. Once...

    I'm so glad I found this forum. I bought a previously cared for Spyder a month ago and I'm loving it. I've ridden motorcycles since I was kid - about 45 years ago. Driving the Spyder took a little getting used to, but reading others experiences on this site helped me immensely. Thanks to all...

    Junk in the Box

    Today I inspected the air filter element on my new-to-me RS. The seller assured me that major service had just been performed, but I wanted to verify. Removing the tupperware to access the airbox was straight forward. All of the fasteners were arranged logically and it was fairly intuitive...

    Another Tire Question

    I recently purchased a 2009 RS SE5. I replaced the rear Kenda with a Kumho Ecsta 225/50r15 tire and I'm very happy with it. The front tires have plenty of tread left at 15,000 miles, but they're obviously the original tires - they have date codes showing they were manufactured in 2009. I don't...

    Trip Odo

    Okay, newby here. I like to reset trip odometer every time I fill up with fuel. My new-to-me 2009 RS seems to reset both trip odometers without any input from me. I've read the manual and don't see anything about this. What am I missing? To be clear - I want to zero the trip Odo and see how far...
