• 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 the Spyder World

So I love speed and plans were to go back to riding crotch rockets but my wife didn't like my plan....So here I am. Three weeks ago I went out and purchased a 2017 Spyder F3-T cause they seemed to have some sport to them and a backseat to keep her happy. I'm learning to get use to not dragging my knee and hoping to have some fun with this new machine. The only thing I can say that has stood out to me is I think they need another gear. RPM's seem high at highway speeds around 80 mph. I'm looking forward to learning lots of great info from all of you and thanks for letting me join.
 
:welcome: and :congrats:

Welcome. We use our Spyder as a two up ride too. But we still kept our sport bikes because they're too much fun.
 
Welcome to the bunch
Enjoy

Compared to the 998 twin cylinder they do have another gear. Six vs. Five. The 998's did not come alive until above 5500 rpms. The red line was somewhere around 9,000 (forgive me if I am not perfect on this). The 1330's like the 3,500 range but higher is not an issue. Red line is around 7,500 on the 1330's. You are not going to hurt the engine if you go fast. The rev-limiter will prevent you from to high an rpm application. :yes:
