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.

Hi Dman78,
Congrats on your new bike. Yes, steering gets a lot easier over time. I would suggest a relaxed grip, develop your push pull feel on the bars. And think of driving a 4 wheeler to compare steering. In a short time you'll have a lot more confidence in the steering of your RT. Tire pressure is something to be vigilant about for best results. Cheers!

Yep
Spyders are a different feel than 2 wheels . Take it easy for a while , corner a little slower than usual . With a few Rydes under your belt things start to become a lot more fun , once you get used to not being able to lean the bike to corner ... Kinda like half bike half snowmobile . You will appreciate the things the Spyder does better than a two wheeler soon , we will let you discover those as you go :riding:

Do you have any experience riding ATVs? The Spyder will feel much more like them, than anything else.
It'll take a couple of hundred miles for you to start to get acclimated. :thumbup:

Read the Do's and Dont's post to get a ton of good information on how these machines work. It doesnt take too long to get used to them, and when you start feeling comfortable they are a blast. Welcome to the club.

Welcome, Wecome & Welcome
Glad you found us. This is the best place with the best folks for all things Spyder (and since we all have belly buttons and opinions, you may get input on all things NOT Spyder :roflblack::roflblack
. Lots of gurus on here. My first Spyder was a 2010 RT...yep lots of on target advise already posted. Steering takes very light touch...500 miles and you will be "there". For me I had to realllly concentrate to get away from my death grip. even now if I feel my shoulders creeping up toward my ears I know it's time to breath, relax and loosen up those hands. NOW I can share that the power steering assist went out on my '10....serious hard steering, not imossible but dang harder...
Really glad you are here...hope our paths cross out "on the trail"...right now my trail has 2 feet of snow and more predicted in the next 24 hrs. But my maps and planning 2017 rydes is alive and well. :thumbup::thumbup::yes:

Welcome welcome....
To both the spyder world and this most informative site...:thumbup: you are going to need that 300-500 miles to get to know your ryde well. Once you do you will relax and find they are very easy to drive. The fun is in the learning and you are going to have a blast....

The short answer on steering is "yes."
Here is a handy dandy read for :spyder2: pilots.

There is a learning curve. The :spyder2: is not a two wheeler so there are some differences. Give it 500 or so miles, and you will think better of your 2010 RT. I had one of those also. :yes:
