• 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.

    SPYDER Alignment on the the Central Coast

    Are there any spyder owners in the Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo area that have a spyder and have not had a laser alignment? I am trying to get enough people who may be interested in it.

    Any Ham Radio Operators Own Spyders?

    I got my Tech in the summer and got my General in Nov. I carry a Baofeng when I ride and have a Yaseu 857D for home/base. Have considered Extra, but I don't think I have what it takes to pass it. I have looked at the the test and it gives me some concern. KM6KSQ

    3 Wheels vs 2 Wheels - My Story

    Today I hit my first pig. At least it was in the car. Put me in a ditch. Not sure how I would have come out on the Spyder . Sent from my A1-850 using Tapatalk

    2008 Reset Odometer to Zero at 64k miles! Anyone else?

    I was up to over 64,000 and it had been to the dealer so I am sure that the updates were done. I will have to look back in my records to see when the last time it was at the dealer. When I had the alignment and you hooked up buds as part of that, any chance that you did any updates? or was it...

    2008 Reset Odometer to Zero at 64k miles! Anyone else?

    Now that it has been mentioned, I recall some discussion about the odometer reset. I wonder if I have to give back my 5,000 mile and 25,000 mile pins?

    2008 Reset Odometer to Zero at 64k miles! Anyone else?

    It reset to 0 and then just started rolling the miles. I now have 80 miles. You are right, I can get 2000 miles and sell it in Michigan and no one would be wiser. (JOKE)

    2008 Reset Odometer to Zero at 64k miles! Anyone else?

    I was driving my 2008 and was pushing the mode button cycling through the miles, trip miles, hours and time and the odometer reset to 0 from 64,000 miles. I checked after I stopped and it was not one of the trip counters but the actual mileage. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Trailer and Wheel Chock

    Went with the track system and the straps over the tire that people were talking about. Brought the trailer home last week and the spyder was no problem. The only issue was that the ramp was a little steep but when you raise the front of the trailer it gives enough slant, so there was no...

    Where did those come from? That may be a better way to go.

    Trailer and Wheel Chock

    I am looking at buying a trailer and getting some wheel chocks to stabilize the spyder. Would these locking chocks be ok from Harbor Freight? Or does someone have a better process. I am thinking that it would be easier than using the tie down method. In the manual...

    Anyone know how I can get my Spyder Owners and Miles Achievement Patches?

    Actually, it was 5, 25 & 100 thousand. Would have liked one for 50 but they didn't offer it. That would have been more reasonable than 100k. The CAT ones are patches, I added those and what was nice was that you could make it in the color of your spyder in a background style.

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    Well today I am the new/proud owner of a 2012 RT Limited. First I want to thank everyone who provided advice and guidance in this process. Some things that happened; Found out that the bike was not sold until Jan 2014, so the factory warranty is in effect and because of the sale it was...

    I am giving it serious consideration. It may also include the wife and the dog since she hasn't been in that area.

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    This one has Calif plates on it so that is not a problem. Not really interested in purchasing out of State. Now the next question is do the tires have to be replaced after five years? What about the spark plug wires? Does rubber hoses in this situation need to be changed?

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    I am doing that. I thought I heard him say that it was owned by a woman in this rec area. Trying to track that down. but with only 1600 miles, it is not like there was a lot of chances to see it driving around the area. How can you have something for 4 years and it only have 1600 miles?!?

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    It does seem that Calif is higher than the rest of the country. Maybe they realize how we can ride pretty much year round. $15000 + 7.5% tax=16,125.

    2012 Spyder RT Limited on Sale - Thoughts ?

    I am trying to find out if Zurich will do an extended warranty on a 2012. According to one dealer it was two years $1000 & three years $1300. Trying to confirm that is the deal. Course I am not a big fan of third party extended warranty after getting the shaft from Western Service when they...
