• 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.

    Question for experienced Spyder owners - New F3 vs Used?

    Back in 2020 when I was shopping for a Spyder, a new F3 was 20K and people were asking 18K for low mileage used. The relatively small difference in price led me to buy a new one. But today there seems to be a lot more used Spyders available with a huge price gap. Knowing what I know about the...

    Clutch won't disengage completely, difficult getting Neutral, clunks into 1st, and creeps - anyone else? What did you do? Fixes?

    Yes the clutch returned to normal after the dealer fixed it under warranty. And I've never had any metal flakes or signs of wear in my oil. 64,000 miles on my F3S now.

    Clutch won't disengage completely, difficult getting Neutral, clunks into 1st, and creeps - anyone else? What did you do? Fixes?

    I had those symptoms and it turned out to be a loose clutch basket nut.

    Are Spyders becoming popular, or not?

    Here in New England, I see other Spyders almost every time I go out for a ride. They are getting more popular in my opinion.

    Time for a Trip to the PA Grand Canyon

    I was out that way on a trip with my brother a few years ago. Couldn't see any of the Canyon sights because the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was so bad. Definitely going back again soon.

    Betwixt and Bewildered - how do I get the codes off a 2008 GS?

    Ugh, mice nests! I haven't had trouble with them on my Spyder, but I have with various other things around the yard. Glad you got it cleaned up and running well!

    What is the oil capacity of a 2026 S2S? Does it hold more than 5 Qts of oil?

    My 2020 F3S manual also calls for 5.5 qts with filter and that is what it takes every time.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Thanks! I actually did over 15K miles per year the first two years I owned it, and have done a little less the past two years just due to life's circumstances. But this year is shaping up to be a big year.

    My Uncle was hurt in this 2026 RTL Crash!

    Hope he has a quick recovery. This is a good reminder to wear the gear all the time.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Catching up, as I have been rather busy lately with out of state family visiting. Over the 4th of July weekend I put on over 600 miles in three days of early morning rides to beat the heat. Hit 60,000 miles on my 2020 F3S. The week before that, I replaced the front sprocket as I noticed a new...

    12 injured after the Rider of a Spyder loses control in Brooklyn, NY

    When I took the Spyder driving class there was a particular lady that was dumber than a brick. Along with other operational issues, she couldn't manage to follow the figure eight pattern laid out by the instructor, even after watching the rest of the class do it multiple times. Everyone in the...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    One of the things I like about this great forum is the similarities between me and so many of the other members. I also am continuously working through the never ending honey do list as well as trying to find time to ride and tinker with the Spyder. I've been power washing the back patio in...

    Pleased with my Smooth Spyder Belt Tensioner for my RS

    On the other hand, my 2020 F3S came with the OEM dampener which failed at close to 10,000 miles. Ran it for a while without the dampener but the vibrations were not to my liking. I've been using the Lamonster dampener for a few years now with no problems. I've replaced the roller once just...
