Since we have a pack list going on another thread, thought it would be good to get everyone's ideas on how spyder prep is going before the big trip. For many of us it will be a journey of several hundred miles or more, and many will be "in between" maintenance times. What are you doing to get your bike road ready besides the typical tire air, oil & water checks... ?

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.
How are you prepping bike for spyderfest?

I replaced the Oil & filters.
I also had Shawn at Procaliber go over the bike completely.
Topped off coolant, checked brake fluids.
Belt adjusted
Checked air pressure in tires.
Loaded GPS with 7 routes for seven days with waypoints.
Added rideon in bike as well as trailler tires.
Charged up Scala G4s
Added a extension to battery tender pigtail so it would reach my tank bag for cell phone charging
Fueled her up!

prepping spyder
the main thing i have done is to install a 12v outlet on my dash so i can plug my HEATED vest into it. Will need all the warm clothes i have when leaving for Spyderfest on the 21st. Here in Minnesota the HIGH temps get to 40 maybe, the ground completely covered with 6 in. of snow again.

Will be taking the spyder to my dealer, Seminole Power Sports, in Sanford, Florida, and have them give it a thorough go over.
I've already taken the RT-622 trailer and confirmed that it had the bearings replaced.

I just replaced the rear brake rotor and pads and I still need to change the oil. I have some gouges in the paint on my trailer from trying to fit it in the garage and I will be touching them up next week.

Got it in the shop last week... Oil change, gave the drive belt some tweaking to it's setup, had the tech give it a good "once-over"; he's satisfied that the bike will make the trip if I'm up to it... :shocked: Prior to departure; I'll check my 78% nitrogen that's in the tires 
, and give it a good bath.
, and give it a good bath.i put mine in tuesday night for a 14K checkup on wednesday. dealer called; found a water pump seal leak. 3 days to order so i'm looking at getting it back next week. whole lot better they find it on inspection than i find it halfway to ozark

Took mine to the dealer for a full shake-down...
Not a lot needed, thankfully -- but I told them to keep it for a bit and ride it until they were happy.
Well... they must have been REAL HAPPY... had a full tank when dropped-off... got it back with a half-tank! LOL!
That's okay with me though... they knew I would be traveling a few miles on it soon.

Had her in the shop for new front tires, front end alignment and a general "look see" by my tech and got an "all clear" from him. Gave Glory a bath the other day and still need to give her a wax job before we leave. :2thumbs: See you all at Spyderfest!:yes:
