• 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.

transmission prob?

so i had to take my spyder to dealer where i bought it from exactly 2 weeks ago because of a problem with the gear indicator which i believe is the gear position sensor....everytime i drive it in first gear the "n" light blinks and at times the "r" light blinks and the bike stalls bc it tries to shift to reverse...anyone had this simillar problem? And also, it seems to be getting very poor mpg...one tank of premium gas and it lasted me approx 120 miles...and i dont even drive it past 7000 rpm..whats up with that?

Welcome to the family

Hi Josevalle,
There are several of us in the greater bay area who have gotten together for a ryde. Stay tuned for the next one sometime in the early new year.

Somebody else had this problem quite a while back on an SM5. In reality, it shouldn't be able to try to shift to reverse, since that requires pulling the lockout lever, and it is a mechanical shifter. Probably the computer killing it due to conflicting signals. The previous owner reported that his would kill when the sensor acted up. The Spyder doesn't like to sense forward motion or loss of traction when it thinks it is in reverse.
