• 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.

Hello

I signed up on FB for Girls On Spyders yesterday. It's good to know how many female spyderlovers and spyder ryders are out there. I am IMRU3 here. But you can call me "Sharon" and I am from Reno, NV. Happy ryding. Regards to everyone.

How to break in a spyder? For the first 600 miles, 1st gear 0 to 18 mph, 2nd gear shift at 28mph, 3rd gear shift 38 mph, 4 gear shift at 48 mph, once you are in 5th gear try not to go over 5000rpm After your 600 mile service ride it any way you want to. These engines run alot smoother at higher rpms but not until you break it in for the first 600mile. Or another way is to shift at 4500 rpm after second gear. After your first 600 mile service, check the oil at least every 500 mile
Thats what we did with both our RT and RS Hope this helps This is our $.02

One thing to remember once it is broke in.... shift around 5K.... that is what Cowtown told us.... John did not know this as he was a new rider and he was shifting at too low a RPM and ended up burning out a spark plug. Best advise is they do like to run at a higher RPM. Have fun and enjoy.
 
Hello Ladies from FB welcome to Spyderlovers. The amount of information here is endless and everyone is always nice and helpful. This should be a lot easier to keep up with everyone's post.
 
Welcome all you new Lady Spyder ryders!!!! I had both the RS and the RT till yesterday ( the 2nd Sept) when the RS got sold. So have a tiny bit of experience handling both kinds but just the semi automatic. Either way you can get an enormous amount of info off this site. Just ask a ??? and you will get all kinds of answers. Most of them correct. And if all that fails go to your dealer. In the meantime this site is probably one of the most light hearted and funny group of people you'll ever really want to meet. SOOOO come April 25 to April 29 2012 come to Cuba Mo for the 3rd Annual SPYDERFEST... WANT TO MEET AND GREET ALL THE LADY SPYDER LOVERS!!!! so come on down. or up as the case may be. :2thumbs:
 
FB vs SL

I really enjoy chatting with everyone on FB but agree the informational threads would be easier here as long as we remember to start a new thread rather than get off subject in the existing thread like we do on FB. I do like the real names in FB better so agree that we need to sign our real names when using this forum.

I'd like to hear what more of you who I've met on FB feel about moving chats over here. If enough agree, we need to post something on FB inviting the rest of the "gang" over here.

I don't remember if I ever introduced myself here. I deleted my FB account yesterday and have gone to Google+. Just didn't like the changes on FB. Anyway, I'm Kris, wife of Jim (bruiser), who has posted on spyderlovers for quite some time. We live in eastern NC. Hope to keep in touch with the FB 'girls' here.
 
Have been on SL for a few years but with a different signon name.. Decided to create a new account as I really didn't use the old one much and the girls from FB could find me easier this way.. I try to check in at least a few times a week to SL but, mostly you will find me on FB. :)
They do both have pros and cons. On SL you have alot more tech support but, with FB I can chat and it is a little more personal..at least for me.. Will be at spyderfest this year and can't wait to meet so many of you. :)
