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 to me ?

:welcome: :congrats: on your find! :2thumbs:
How many miles are on the bike?
What condition is the rear tire in? (Pay close attention to the center section of tread...)
Has the prior owner had all of the updates performed on it?
(Get the V.I.N., and have your favorite dealer run it for you...)
Good Luck! :thumbup:

There's plenty of life left in it!! :thumbup:
Now... :shocked:
What have you found out about why it is being sold?
Is it a private sale, or through a dealer?
If the latter; is it a Spyder Dealer?

All good advice from Bob.
2012 is a good year and there were not any problems across the board on any models.
The RS seems to be pretty much an iron clad vehicle as far as very few, if any, problems.
Vehicle history is important. A dealer can double check that it was serviced properly. With 5K miles, it should have had break in service (at 600 miles) and it is now due, or should have had, a recent oil change/filter service. For low mileage vehicles, I still recommend a fresh oil change/filter at the start of each season.
Tires on the 2012 should last till about 20K plus on the fronts and 15K plus on the rear tire. In other words--your tires should be looking almost like new. There are those that say tires over three years old should be changed out--that one is your choice.
Let us know what you decide. If you become an buyer, please post some pictures. :yes:
