• 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.

    What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

    When I purchased my first Spyder (2020 RTL) not knowing anything about it, when the time came for the 3000 mile scheduled maintenance I went to the nearest dealer about a hour away. I timed when they took the bike back to service and when it was brought back outside. About a hour and a half. I...

    My upgraded ST-S headlights and fog lights with LED

    Reading this makes me happy to have had newer bike (2020+) for it is much easier to change out headlights and fog lights. Did it on my 2022 and 2024 F3 Ltd's.

    How many miles do you have on your Spyder?

    As I was riding home this morning, I was thinking about how many miles anyone has put on any one Spyder, what problems if any occurred? Chime in those who have ridden a long time. Wildhorse has ridden some big miles in a few years.

    Is there supposed to be a lift support for the drivers seat?

    The oem supports for seat and rear compartment lid are usually the first things one replaces for they do not last very long. Aftermarket ones are much better.

    How noticeable is the Engine heat: F3 vs RT?

    I was on a bike trip to the Twisted Sisters several years ago on my 2022 F3L Limited and going through Arkansas and into Teaxas the air temps reached a high of 106 degs. Yes it was hot but did not feel excessive air coming from engine to be intolerable. When it gets in the high 90-100+ air...

    The Spyder is certainly not a Honda - but the reliability sure would be nice! Still not switching tho!!

    Push in with your knee on the outer panel before lifting the latch. This takes some tension off the latch system and makes it easier to open.

    Thoughts on my first SS1000 with the Spyder

    The Spyder design is not for high mileage like a two wheeler. On long trips on my F3L I get about 38mpg. On my Harleys before this I would get about 45 no matter how I ran them:

    2020+ Suspension F3 vs. RT

    My first was a new 2020 RTL. Good wind/rain protection. More comfortable for passenger rider. Did not like the feel of sitting on top of the bike, so traded for 2022 F3Limited Special. Liked the sitting in the bike feel. Replaced OEM small windshield for 19" aftermarket for better wind/rain...

    Do I just keep pumping with Speed Bleeders until the line fills up?

    just did a brake fluid bleed/replace yesterday on a 2024 F3L Limited. Replaced OEM bleeders with Speed Bleeders first. Just keep an eye on reservoir and not run too low as to suck in air. As one member with a 2024 model previously mentioned that his fluid was dark looking with low miles was...

    Is there a Preheating system for the Spyder RT? Any recommendations?

    warm up until idle settle down to normal rpm- 4-5 minutes should do it. The gear clunk will not be as bad and the trans. oil will be a bit warm enough to move easier.

    First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

    I remember my first spyder. Traded a 2017 Harley Ultra in on a new 2020 RTL. Left dealership and got on a Interstate for a 260 mile ride home. Never been on a spyder so once on the interstate and running with everyone else was scary at first. Passing trucks was eye opener. Running 75mph...

    Do I just keep pumping with Speed Bleeders until the line fills up?

    ok so calling dealer and getting a price of about $350 bucks to flush and replace brake fluid on my 2024 F3L, I am going to get speed bleeders and do it myself. Two questions, do I need to have the park brake off before taking out oem bleeder on rear caliber and does the fluid capturing bottle...

    What changes between a New 2026 RT vs a 2021 RT might make worthwhile considering?

    For me the new dash layout from 2024 on is much much better. The info is better displayed. Much more information available. Much easier to see the information on the fly, especially when in traffic, when only a glance is what you have. At night, the readings are easier to see. Reverse, as...
