My First 10000

[900Dave]

This time last year I did not own my Spyder ST-L. I had been here on Spyderlovers looking around and reading about everyones experience and opinions, good and bad. I took eveyones opinion into consideration and I almost waited to purchase a 2014. The discounts were just too good and I went with a 2013 instead.

I did have some bad fuel smell issues the first time I rode at 80 degrees and decided quickly that I would try to fix it. Thanks JT as your air filter took care of about 75% of the gas smell and the heat under the tupprware was greatly improved. I was then helped by BRP and recieved my 2014 airflow panels. Again it helped.

So today 50 weeks into owning my Spyder I surpassed the 10000 mile mark. A big deal for me as I only envisioned about 4 or 5 thousand miles a year. I still work about 50 hours a week so most of this was acomplished on weekends.



I have had absolutely no mechanical issues, no orange screen, nothing. I am absolutely pleased with the performance handling and reliability so far. I would like to thank all of my fellow Spyder lovers who have posted and stated there opinions weather it was good or bad as I had taken all of your comments and opinions into consideration before making this purchase.:2thumbs:

I dont know about twice the rider. But this is my first year owning a Spyder and new toys are a lot more fun when you first get them. I will have to see what next year brings.

 

[Bob Denman]

Well; Here's to hoping that 2015 brings you even MORE miles and smiles! :cheers: :2thumbs:
