• 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 Gas Mileage

    Just talking about you today. We'll have to hook up and see what you've done for a pulsing tail light (because I'm sure you have!!) I got about 30 on the way home from Detroit when I picked it up. Now about 25-27 in town and blasting around with it. 35 on the road at about 70mph. Be well...

    break in period

    Rode my wife's Spyder from Detroit to Chicago the day I picked it up. There is, in fact, a downside to riding for extended periods even if you do vary the speeds/rpms. The issues are that you are not allowing heat/cool cycles and regardless of how much you vary the speeds, you can still have...

    ILLINOIS HAS A PROBLEM WITH SYPDER

    Yup. I was hoping that inference would get their attention without having to go through the BS of actually doing it. In IL if you take it on a 3-wheel, you have a 3-wheel restriction. bj

    initial oil consumption

    I think you guys are right...probably stability control. As I said...I've been taking up the rev range now (turned 600 tonight) so I'll see what usage looks like once I've had the service done and now that I've started to stand on it a bit. b j

    initial oil consumption

    (for those of you on other forums, sorry for the dual posting) Checked the oil at 500 miles and was down a little over a half quart. Anyone else have similar usage at that point? My guess is that it is down that much based on the first 300 miles; Detroit to Chicago in about 6 hours. Lots of...
