• 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.

Good Spyder dealer in Michigan

Where is a good Spyder dealer in Michigan. Want to know how far I might have to travel to get good service. Would also consider northern Indiana or north west Ohio as I am about 40 miles from their boarder.
 
I got my 17 RT at Fox Powersports in Grand Rapids. They treated me pretty good but I think their hourly rate seems high at $110/hr.
 
I was disappointed with the service at Fox. Service manager did "0" follow up informing me of what was going on.
I switched to Village Motorsports of Holland, and LOVE them. Great service and they keep you informed of what is happening. When my compressor went bad, they tested it, fixed it so I could manually air it up and ride until the new one came in, then called me to set up an appointment to replace it after it arrived. They made sure it was done so I could ride that weekend.
 
Leaders Marine has been good to me as well and I have the choice between Leaders Marine or Maximum Powersports in Peru Indiana. I've been to both and neither have the advantage in my opinion. I like to go to Leaders because they actually have some Spyders in stock and online presence as well.
Just hope you never have a DPS go bad those babies are expensive$$$$$$
I've heard nothing but good things at RT Sports in Zulu Indiana but that might really be a haul for you in Battle Creek.
We have a small lake house in Sturgis Michigan and travel all around the lower part of Michigan during the summer on Brewery, wine and cider tours. Beautiful country roads in the Kalamazoo/Three Rivers/Jackson area.
Maybe we'll see you around! Look for us on a 2017 Matte Black Spyder F3-T and give us a wave:)
 
Thanks for all the responses. Kmort44 I'll be keeping an eye out for you. I will probably try Leaders as they are the closest, hopefully there service dept will be good, if not I'll drive farther. They have given me a good deal on a new F3s, but I'm still looking to buy a 2018 F3s for a better good deal. Just put my 2008 Jeep Wrangler up for sale (which is really a nice vehicle and should sell quickly) When that sells I will purchase something. If I like the whatever spyder I buy, I will then put my F6B up for sale. Love that bike. If I don't like the Spyder then I will probably trike the F6B. At almost 73 it's getting harder to handle at stops, backing up, slow parking lot turns, pea gravel, ect. especially with the other half on the back. So rather than fight mother nature and looking at all options I figured the Spyder was the best choice, we shall see. And yes I did test drive a new F3s manual and F3t semi auto. Both were great but I liked the manual more, I like a sportier ride. After reading many post here I am a little concerned about the reliability of the spyder that's why the original question. But I think (hope) overall the spyder will be pretty reliable.
