• 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.

14,000 miles in just under 9 months. + another blown exhaust gasket!

One other person reported this, it seems, but on the front cylinder, as I recall.

Hey, Greg. I don't remember seeing that particular failure before... at the head. That would be unusual.

I took it in on Saturday for the gasket replacement, and 12,000 mile service. I'll know more tomorrow, I guess. And, since the gaskets were ordered on Saturday, I hope to have my Spyder back in time for the upcoming weekend.

On another note; Tim (zzneonzz) was kind enough to meet me at the dealer, and give me a ride back to my place (28 miles from the dealer) on his Spyder. That was neat! I have not been a passenger on a motorcycle since the 70s.
Now; I can really see why my wife enjoys riding with me. The Spyder really does make the passenger feel secure.

12,000 mile service completed at 14,060 miles. Blown exhaust gasket also replaced. And, this was the same gasket as before. The extra heat heat that I experienced was a result of the higher ambient temperatures.

Total Cost for the 12,000 mile service: $330.00.
