• 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.

    Smokey Mountain Beauty

    My wife and I have had the pleasure of spending the past 5 days in a cabin outside Pigeon Forge, TN. We had planned to rent a bike if the weather allowed, but we didn't want to pack a bunch of of cold weather gear so we didn't get to ride. I believe you TN folks must go thru some tires...

    2008 SE5 Shifting Question

    I just read on another forum that to put a 2008 SE5 in reverse you have to hold the mode button and hold the downshift button then push the R button. Is this right?

    2008 SM5 Master Cylinder Question

    The forward float lines up in the center of the hole, but the rear float has only about 1/4 in the hole. I don't remember this being this way. Is this normal?

    A Pleasant Surprise at my Dealer

    I took my wife's 08 SM5 in for a front end alignment (just got new front tires) and had them change the clutch fluid and coolant while it was there. We dropped it off on Thursday evening and it was ready to go Saturday evening. On top of the quick turn around, we got out the door for $430. I...

    Thee Are Priorities In Life!

    There Are Priorities In Life! I came home from work last Thursday and told my wife about a potential job opportunity in Hawaii, but that there is no Spyder dealer there. She said "Damn, I think I would have liked living in Hawaii". Oh well....;)

    "Phantom" Limp Mode

    Running down the highway about 75 yesterday, my wife's 08 SM5 started scrolling "check engine and limp mode" across the screen. The bike didn't go into limp mode and was running fine. We pulled over, removed the key, put the key back in, turned it 5 times and the message was gone. No more...

    Honda Gaskets Looking Good!

    Had to pull the Y pipes tonight. After 26,000 miles, the gaskets look great. My math isn't too good, but I think I would be on at least my 3rd set of OEM gaskets, more likely 4.

    I currently have the O2 modifier installed. If I install the juicebox, do I need to put the stock O2 sensor back in?

    Kudos to Dealers

    My hats off and many thanks to Cowtown Cuba, MO. A couple weeks ago my wife's Spyder broke down on the way to Shreveport from Fort Worth. From 85mph to limp mode was quite the experience for her and she handled it well. I called the good folks in Cuba and they told me how to pull up the fault...

    Gear poisition indicator looses it's mind

    My wife rode for about 35 miles today and we stopped for gas. When she tried to start the bike it wouldn't start. I got it started, but then the "fun started". On the dash readout, reverse was now shown as 1st gear. Shift to 1st, it says 2nd. Shift to 2nd, it still says 2nd. 3rd, 4th and...

    Accent LED Lighting

    Well, I opened my mouth last night and asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday. Immediately, I mean IMMEDIATELY, she said she wants accent lights under her Spyder. This is way out of my expertise. I have seen the GlowRider wheel lights and they look pretty cool (She will think so too...

    Opinions on how long to install Helibar riser

    I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I had the stock bar off to install the 3" riser a while back. How long is this project going to take? My wife is waiting on me...............

    Bar Riser Question (no, not where to buy them)

    My spyder (well, now my wife's spyder) has a 3" riser on it and this isn't working too well for her. Will the Helibar or ESI 4" risers put her in a better riding position? Enough to matter? She is 5'-4" tall.

    License Plate Light Bulb Issue

    I have an aftermarket license plate light (generic from O'Reilly's - broke mine) that burns out the bulb about every 3 or 4 days, best I can tell. It had a dual element 1157 in it. The light element breaks and, what I assume would be the brake light element is fine ( the light is not wired for...

    Desperately need help/advice!

    I am in Kerrville, TX (about 220 miles from home). Every time I brake fairly hard to a stop, I get "VSS" "check DPS" and "Limp Home" messages. I can reset and roll on until the next firm stop and then I get all the messages again. Reset and repeat. I have a way to trailer it home, but would...

    Changed my exhaust today

    Thanks to fellow SpyderLover Schultzi, I got my Kewlmetal Performance Exhaust today (silver web design and no longer manufactured). All I can say is HOLY ****! I love it and don't believe anyone will tell me my Spyder "sounds like a sewing machine" ever again. I read somewhere that I needed...
