I have a 08 Spyder roadster got it used 4400 miles. Now I love this machine nothing like having more power than you need. Now I am a retired USAF pilot flying was my life got to go to test pilot school and have flown over ten thousand hours. Owned many fast cars and two wheelers, the Spyder seems to have more mods than I expected which shows me not much time was done on the design of the unit, why would the be so many recalls and the extent of the modifications they cross all dimensions of this unit from suspension to electronic, to heat management. Now I can do things with my hands and I have done all three mods for the heat and the do work. I installed a 32 inch wind shield and a cruse control. How ever i am beginning to feel that this design may be more trouble than it is worth. After all it is just a motorcycle not a rocket or aircraft. So what should a reasonable man expect to pay for a manifold gasket job.
