• 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.

Spyder Security

Not a big fan of the disc locks - forget they are there once and you'll trash some expensive parts!

I do have a Talon - but don't really use it that often. Most times I park my Spyder - leave the helmet on it and no one messes with anything.

Just use common sense - lock up anything important.
 
A cover is good. You can also think about a alarm/pager system like Gorilla or something. In LA we just plan on using the cover and trying to get a spot close to the room.
 
I've parked in front of the front desk window so the front desk crew can see it. Then ask them to keep an eye on it if they agree then tip them. They usually switch shift so the first needs to remember to tell the next shift, then in the morning tip that person. I woke on though the night just to see, come to surprise a lot of people were checking the spyder out at 2:00 to 2:30 the morning. The girl at the front desk said a few people were asking about it, she didn't know what to tell them. So I felt safe since then front desk window where desk personel can see. "Private security as my wife says".
 
New Red SE5 Spyder rider here (2 weeks in) and have been loving every minute of it. As for security, I picked up the Scorpio SR-I900 with the Can-Am Spyder Factory plug-in kit this week and couldn't be happier, all for under $400. The perimeter sensor is a nice option because it alerts anyone via chirps once they come within 5-10 feet or so and goes into full alarm if they don't back off (this can be disabled via remote when needed). Whenever the alarm goes off (shock, tilt, ignition, or permiter sensor trigger) the included pager keychain alerts you via sound, vibration, and a timestamp so you can go hollar at anyone messing with your :spyder2: and know exactly what time what sensor was triggered. There is also an ignition kill option which gives one the ability to disable the bike remotely if one was held-up by gunpoint. VERY SWEET. In addition, this specific alarm has RFID technology so the alarm knows when you are within 5-10 feet of the Spyder and enables/disables automagically. No need to hit any buttons anymore which I love because digging a remote out of my pocket everytime I needed to ride would get old.

I was able to install the whole system (minus ignition kill), with perimeter sensor, in under 1 hour with only the Torx head screwdriver as my tool. All that is involved is removing the rear splash guard (with the Torx), unplugging the rear blinkers and taillight, and plugging those into the factory plug-in kit and then connecting the positive wire to the battery. Still have to hook up the ignition kill as that requires cutting one of the primary electrical wires (fuel pump, injection, or kill switch) as I wanted to make sure I picked the right wire first. Red wire or the blue wire...:yikes:

Quite a few trips. No problems. Often cover the Spyder. If it is a really rough neighborhood I have one of the large U shaped Kryptonite locks that I put through the back wheel. If it is a longer trip I have the trailer hooked to the Spyder and that can't be removed without tools and time. Makes the Spyder a lot harder to steal.
 
Security

I don't worry about it - that is why I have insurance!
If it is taken then I add a few bucks and get a new toy:ohyea:!
LOL
