My Spyder is in LyMp Mode HELP!

[finless]

I just checked the service manual. Page 522 on the blow up diagram of the rear wheel, it shows 166 Ft pounds for the rear axle nut.

Correct. Earlier models the nut was 98 lbs. Sometime in 2014 they increased the torque of the axel nut to 166.
No one knows why they increased it. At least no reason I could find.

I just got back from Richardson Motorsports. Turns out the sensor cable is damaged. I ordered a new one and will get here in about a week. He said those sensor cables are very delicate and break easily. Sounds like an easy fix except for the hundred dollars for the cable I had to pay for. Always take care not to damage them. I did not remove it and probably should have just to protect it better.

Please provide the part number for this cable so we all know what it is and where it is ...... thanks ..... Mike

They called it the speed sensor but if it is broke then how is my speedometer still showing my speed??
Anyway the BUDS system said it was broke so I need to replace it.
its the black cable that comes off the brake assembly and it runs to somewhere under the rear seat and plugs in I assume near the brake reservoir.
Part # 706200506 106.99

They give me a 15% discount for being a Spyder Ryders of east Texas member so my price was 90.94 plus tax and shipping to my house.

Ahhhhhhhh. I now understand how you were able to remove to rear axle nuts with half a spanner, Bob. Believe me, from 2015 on, that is an impossibility....

AY, is it the part shown with the black cable in this photo just to the left of the Brembo stamp on the caliper, or am I in the wrong spot?

Yes thats it. You take off that bolt next to it to remove it. It looks like rubber on the end with some shims in between. Be carefull to replace the shims on the new cable to keep the same spacing.

[AY4B]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the other end plugs into something under the rear seat but he said you have to remove the black plastic splash fender guard to get to it from underneath . Isn't that where the computer is?

I took it off and taped it out of the way. I didn't treat it ALL that carefully though. Looks like it is quite sensitive and I might just have been lucky. I'll add a comment in bold to to my instructions to ensure you handle it with kid gloves.

That doesn't help you though AY. Good luck with the replacement. If it makes you feel any better, I recently stripped the thread in one of the little brass nuts that the plastic side body panel screws into. No....you can not buy another knurled nut to tap/glue in....you have to buy the complete internal plastic piece with the nuts already installed........that'll be $150 thanks.

There is a sensor on each wheel, each of which is used for the ABS, the EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), and the TCS (Traction Control System). I would say that your speedo reading is coming from the front sensors. (but I can not categorically say that those sensors are where your speedo reading comes from).

I think the part number is 706200560. Shows $80.24 at Powerhouse Warehouse. Still not bad at $90.94.

Richardson Motorsports is one of our sponsors. They pay for expenses of the group and gave me a lot of free advice and also hooked up the BUDS to it to diagnose the problem without charging me a penny. Going to another supplier would not have been very nice of me. I will pay whatever they charge and say thank you for their help and 15% discount. Our sponsors are why you can be a member of Spyder Ryders without paying dues. They are also providing a meeting room so we can have monthly meetings with free Dunkin Donuts and coffee.
The bad part is that I missed a Ryde they had yesterday.

[AY4B]

Not to mention they are one of only a couple of dealers that will install Car tires. I paid only 35 dollars to have them mount and balance my Yokahama S drive but I brought in just the wheel.

[GA_Spyderman]

Wow, you've got a good dealer there.

I have a dealer here in Greenville but its worth it to drive a hour to one who will do all that.

Unfortunately I'm not bless with a good dealer around my area. So I have to go this route. Wasn't saying anything bad about the dealer just pointing out there are ones that take advantage of us. Called my closest dealer just to see if they could get close to Powersports price. I had ordered a total of $24.65 in parts. Their price was $75.00 plus tax.

Well I just put in the new sensor cable and everything is good now. Took it for a ride and at first it did not want to shift. then slowly the tranny started working . I was getting some popping from the engine. I just had to blow some cobwebs out. After it running so long in limp mode it had a few built up.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi AY4B,

Re: everything is good now.

Always glad to hear a success story; also helps to hold back against the nay-sayers about these machines being maintenance hogs.

I went for another ride and really enjoyed getting back on it. I dropped my rear tire pressure to 20 and was monitoring my FOBO screen the whole way noting the temperature. We have a ride coming up on Saturday and everything is a go!
