Do you have power steering?

[aubierules]

A Spyder will take more effort to turn than a motorcycle, or even an ATV. You have to physically steer it into turns, unlike a motorcycle, where you countersteer slightly, then lean. Since most of the speeds are higher than an ATV, there is more straight-line momentum, so you have to steer a bit harder there, too, IMO. Spyder steering is just an assist, not full power steering, and it is proportional, so it reacts differently under different conditions. If you think you may have problems, compare to a dealer's demo, or have another rider try yours. For most of us, there are no issues, but we do get more of a workout than motorcycle riders, for sure.

There have never been any error codes.

there never are, at least on mine...and it doesnt matter what problem..my spyder locks up in gear , puts u down on the road, and down shifts real hard but there are never any codes....go figure

Just goes to show you I have never ridden one. Note to self: Don't make assumptions. Those big tires with all the cleats can fool you.

On mine they found a loose ground under the seat - and they replaced the Angle Rotation Sensor which is for shifting.

Steering seems back to normal now. I wonder if they could custom program it for different riding styles? Let it have more assist at faster speeds?

Actually it is wonderful at 80 and great above 40 mph. Around 20 turning at an intersection I am getting the weird jumping or on/off assist feeling.

Now if I could just take every turn at 80...

I think Firefly fixed my intermittent issue. The cause was..ME..
