• 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 Spyder owner

New member
I recently purchased a 2009 spyder, brand new. Only had .5 miles on it when I picked it up. It is awesome! :thumbup: So far it's been in the shop 2 times for the VSS Fault,Check DPS. Just over a 100 miles on it. The dealer I bought it from replaced the DPS and told me it was good. 20 miles later I got the first fault. Took it to a different dealer closer to my house and had them re-calibrate the DPS. That was 3 weeks ago, Yesterday I took back in for the same thing. :gaah: Hopefully it will be fixed soon, the weather is getting nice.
 
:welcome: Sorry to hear you are having problems with the new Spyder. I hope your dealer gets them sorted ot real soon. In the short run, check your relays and battery connections, and make sure the battery is fully charged.

Gets kinda frustrating sometimes. you want to get things fixed so when good weather comes you can ride and not be at the dealer. hope you get it all sorted out and experience a truly different ride. syders are great rides. enjoy and be safe. :2thumbs: :congrats:

+1 :thumbup:
 
:welcome: and :congrats: on your new :spyder2:! Sorry to hear about your trials but not unexpected. Take heart, though. I had the DPS issue "taken care of" in early September last year and on the way to Street Vibrations in Reno a week later the demon hit again!!!:gaah: That was almost 7,000 miles ago and it hasn't raised it's ugly head since.:clap::clap::clap: Congrats again, my friend! Enjoy!
 
:welcome: :congrats:

Hang in there, you won't regret it. If you have a good dealer give them a chance to sort it out.
 
Thanks for the support!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and support. Hopefully it will be fixed before the weather gets to nice. If its fixed before Saturday I will try to make it.:pray:
