• 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.

Gas Octane

Here's another:

The service manual AND the operators manual clearly state "regular unleaded".:read:
The factory shop manual also says "87 or higher", not maximum 87, or 87 or lower. I couldn't find regular unleaded in the owners manual, only "unleaded gasoline Minimum Octane Rating 87". I'm trying to find out where people are reading, "designed for 87 octane" or "higher octane doesn't benefit the spyder", other than on forums. Bone Crusher pointed that none of this has been proven, so after 5 pages of chatter, I'm with HDXBones, we don't know anymore than when we started.
 
Well then look in your operators manual under specifications.....look at fuel type, should be on P. 104:f_spider:
My page 104 of the owners manual is vehicle identification but I see it on 108. Looks like the same page as in the shop manual.
 
Master Muffler and the FTC aren't on my short list of authoritative performance guru's......


that's only two sources....there are dozens of others...not much on the other side of the argument...

Enough said for me...I'm done on this thread...I'd rather waste my money on other things as opposed to throwing it in my gas tank...

:banghead:
 
Just my 2 cents, if my Spyder gets what it needs to do what I want on 87 octane, I've got plenty of other stuff to spend my money on for it besides gas.

Beating a Dead Horse!


Dakota Indian tribal wisdom says; "When you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

However, many on this forum have other strategies for dealing with dead horse issues, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Say things like, "This is the way we have always ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride their Dead Horses.
6. Increase Dead Horse riding standards.
7. Appointing someone to revive the Dead Horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase Dead Horse riding ability.
9. Comparing their Dead Horse to someone elses.
10. Using Smoke and Mirrors to make it appear that their horse is not dead.
11. Outsourcing the Dead Horse riding duties.
12. Harnessing several Dead Horses together to increase performance.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to be beat just one more time."
14. Increasing nutrient content in the feed to improve Dead Horse performance.
15. Do a Cost Analysis to find ways to make Dead Horse riding more efficient.
16. Recommend accessories to make the Dead Horse run faster.
17. Declare a Dead Horse "better, faster and cheaper" than a live one.
18. Form a Dead Horse support group.
19. Ridicule anyone who points out that the horse is (in fact) Dead.
20. Give Dead Horse gift cards for special occasions.
21. Make up and declare Dead Horse statistics that have no basis in fact hoping that if repeated enough times people will believe them.
