• 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.

    Oil Pressure Light on Startup Sometimes

    Sometimes the oil pressure light will stay on after I start my Spyder. If I shut it off and restart it the light will go out. Any thoughts? I have a 2009 SM5 with around 19,000 miles. Oil is full and it happens before and after an oil change. It's been happening for the past year or so. Thanks!

    Lost Key

    Has anyone had a spare key made for the Spyder? Know what I should expect to pay? I've called my dealer and they are looking into it, they haven't had anyone else request a key for the Spyder yet. I still have one, so I can still ride, but I lost my second one.

    VSS Fault/ Check DPS

    Was turning a corner (one street to another) and hit a rough patch in the road. After hitting the rough patch I noticed that the stability control light was still illuminated on the dash and I now was in limp home mode as well as showing VSS fault message. I pulled off and shut the spyder off...

    185/60 14 on Front

    Any advice on air pressure for car tires in this size? Put mine on last night and they look great, I have to adjust the fenders some because of some minor rubbing but otherwise they'll be fine.

    Cross Country Trip

    So this summer I am in a position where I can take a couple weeks vacation. Any thoughts on whether it would be wise to try and do a cross country trip by myself? I live in Maine but I haven't traveled very much and would love to make a road trip to California. Am I asking for trouble and is two...

    Trunk as a Cooler

    Has anyone used the trunk as a cooler (filled with ice). I'm wondering how long I can expect it to stay mostly frozen since it isn't insulated. Outside temps are supposed to be in the mid-upper 60s and I have a 3 hour drive to my destination.

    Deep Scratch in Front Rim

    Has anyone else had something apparently get caught under the lower ball joint stud and dig into the front wheel? I was washing the Spyder tonight and noticed a deep scratch almost all the way around the rim in line with the lower ball joint. Bummer! Probably no hope of this being a warranty repair.

    What Size Cotter Pin - Rear Axle

    I removed the rear tire today and I seem to have misplaced the cotter pin that goes in the rear axle. Does anyone know what size that is? The parts fiche only shows it as plain ol' "cotter pin".

    Do you let anyone else drive your Spyder?

    I have let my Dad, Step Dad and a good friend of my Dad's try it and 3 or 4 of the police officers at work took it for a spin, but that's it. I haven't let any of my younger friends try it though. How about you all? Does anyone else get to drive your Spyder?

    Tire Dressing

    Does anyone use tire dressing on the Spyder? I know it's a no-no on motorcycles, but how about the Spyder? Is there a motorcycle safe tire dressing?

    Shorty clutch lever

    I would really like to have a shorty clutch lever for the Spyder. I know a company called Pazzo was making one but no longer are and I cannot seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know of another option? This might be a good project for one of the other aftermarket companies (NMN, Koolmetal...

    Blue Tint in Headlights

    Does anyone else have an issue with the outer edge of the head light beam having a blue tint? About 50% of the time I ride at night I have a car in front of me pull over because they think I'm a cop.

    Oil Change before Storage

    How important is it to change the oil in the Spyder before I store it? At the last oil change I used Amsoil and when I get ready to store the Spyder in the next 3 weeks or so I figure I'll have between 1750-2000 miles on the oil change. I hate to change the oil so short, especially a synthetic...

    Painted Windshield

    I wasn't sure I was going to be happy with this as I was applying the paint, but after seeing the front side with the masking removed and installed on the bike I'm very happy. Came out nice I think.

    Shorty Clutch Lever

    Does anyone know of a shorty clutch lever for the Spyder? I found some references to a Pazzo, but it seems they aren't making them any more.
