Buddy of mine has one and needed a new rear tire. Had noticed his belt riding against the rear pulley lip. Anyway replaced the rear tire and adjusted the tension on the belt. After doing that I loosened the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn and tightened the right one 1/4 turn and it aligned the belt just right. I will probably be doing more work on it in the future. We have added several mods to it also. These things are pretty neat.

Be careful because just like the Valkyrie, they are contagious.

Bought ours 14 months ago for the wife to learn to ride now 6000 miles later she has only tried it a few times in the parking lot but keeping her permit current. I have put as many miles on the Valks in the same time frame however the Spyder is very stable in inclement weather.

Is your the auto or manual?

We have the manual, I figured there was too much highly technical electronics already. Besides it is hard enough to remember not to put your foot down when you stop so I did not want to learn a new way of shifting to.
