• 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.

    Blog-First Ride on the Spyder RT

    Sounds like a great time. Thanks for taking the time to post everything for us. You have me drooling over the RT, but I think I'm going to wait on it a bit. The price is just a bit high for me. But I figure a used one can be had in a year or 2, and I'll just keep riding my SM5 until then.

    Software Update Poll- Please vote

    Apparently I should have done more riding before voting. My Spyder had been running fine, but it ran really badly during the very warm weather we had around here last week. This week I've noticed that it's fine for a while, but after getting stuck in traffic for a bit with the Spyder getting...

    My hand hurts worse!!!!!

    I have very small hands (size 7 gloves) and switched my grips to some gel grips that were even smaller than stock. I hated them. I have the Kury grips now and they're great. I was afraid they'd be too big, but they're actually very comfortable for me. I have 4" risers and I bet that makes a...

    Lost my best friend

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll never forget my first dog. It took time, but rather than being sad when thinking about Petey (we didn't name him, he came with the name, really), I smile. Thinking about his antics still makes me laugh. I miss him, but I'm thankful for the time that I got to...

    Software Update Poll- Please vote

    Steering is much better. It ran pretty rough for the first couple of rides after the update and even stalled on me once, but it's running just fine at this point. I'd say it was back to normal after about 100-150 miles or so. I have the ESI filter and a Hindle.

    Plug and play fan controller

    Ordered one too. I end up sitting in traffic a lot. I realize a manual switch is cheaper, but I like the idea of just setting a temp threshold and letting the fan kick in before I bake.

    Any Left handed Throttle

    I met a guy with an SE5 with a left handed throttle at my dealership. The dealer did the switch for him. Maybe they can give you some information. http://hkphooksett.com/

    Count and post

    I'm afraid to tally mine. It's addictive. I've been really bad about it this summer since all the thunderstorms have been cutting into my riding time and I've had to come up with alternative methods to get my Spyder fix. I'm feeling hopeful about August. This week's forecast actually looks...

    A little heads up on the software upgrade

    Got mine done today as well. Noticed the difference on the first turn out of the parking lot. I think the steering is significantly better.

    No wonder your Hindle leaks

    I just did a quick check and my Hindle is quite noticeably leaking. Since my dealer did the install and I'm heading there on Friday for the steering update anyway, I'll give them a shot at fixing it first before I mess with it. If they fail to fix it, I'll probably end up following your...

    Beka's Spyder

    I'm now using a CHAD windshield. The windshield in the earlier photos was the older BRP touring shield. The touring shield was much better than stock, but I still felt pretty beaten on long trips with it. The CHAD is great. I keep it in the lowest position around town, and raise it slightly...

    Beka's Spyder

    Hit the attachment limit on the previous post. Here's a bigger view of the dash area showing the tank bag, cup holder, Starcom1 volume control (left side near risers), and Kury grips.

    Beka's Spyder

    It's been ages since I've updated this thread, and I've done quite a few mods since then. I've added a Corbin seat, CHAD, lots of NMN goodies (mudflap lights, Triple Play, Green filter, front turn signals), cup holder, Kury grips, Powerlet Termin-8, Powerlet dash outlet, and a powered tank bag...
