• 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.

New Owner of 2014RTS-SE6

New owner also

This is funny, congrat's on your new ride and in the color that you got. Would you believe that yesterday I also picked up my new 2014 Spyder RTS-SE6 n the same color. I am a first time rider on a Spyder altho I have over 40 years of exp. on Cycles this was a new exp. for me. I got about 5 miles from the dealership and almost turned around to take it back. The bike was all over the highway with the front end having a mind of it's own. I fixed the problem when I found that the left front tire only had 8 lbs. of air in it and the right front tire only had 14 lbs. in it. The rear tire had a whole 18 lbs. in it. After bringing the tires up to where they belong I found that the bike is a great ride with me putting a little over 200 miles on it yesterday. After putting the bike in my garage I decided that I should check on some other things for my safety and started by checking on the motor oil level. Low and behold it was a quart low. Remember now this is a brand new bike that I just picked up. I will be going over the rest of the bike today as it is raining out anyway.

Well Deanna good luck with your new ride.

Make sure you are checking the oil level at operating temp. If you are checking it cold it will show low.

You should have taken the bike back, and talked to the Sales manager, and told him/or she what the problems were, and had them take care of it. That is what I would have done, or better yet I would have looked at the spyder myself, before I drove it off the lot. What else did you find that was wrong????

Keep me posted on this.

I have 321 miles on mine since I picked mine up yesterday. Good luck with your new ride also. Deanna777:ohyea:
 
Was wondering how long it would take till you traded up. :popcorn: :roflblack:

Congrats on your new RT! :yes:
