I know first hand about the steering problem, I have been riding this Spyder non-stop since November 2008 when I bought it new, (year round in Northern AZ).. Three weeks ago at 8500 miles, I was doing 80 mph passing a 18 wheeler on I-40 in a curve when the steering to the right locked up. I was headed for a big yellow arrow, I managed to get it to turn, when it did it jumped me 3 feet sideways almost under the 18 wheeler. I slowed and experimented and found that ir I turned slightly left, I could turn right. I made it to the next town and had it taken to the dealer. They replaced the steering unit and it now rides like a new one. I will however be very mindful of my steering. If you are new to Spyders, this is nothing to mess with, I have been riding for 35 years it is very very dangerous, if you own a Spyder and have not had it repaired to so Now! if you wait you may not be here. End of Story!!!

I just had the steering problem with my Spyder yesterday. Doing about 75mph on Interstate 16 coming back from Macon, GA. When it locked without warning it was all I could do to straighten it back out. I was about 100 miles from home and had it happen several more times before I made it. I will be taking it in this week. Don’t take the chance, get this taken care of.
