    Default VSS

    Hello and welcome!
    PM me your email and I will send you a copy of mine, which is for a 2010 RS.
    The image you are seeing is from my bike and the icon represents the VSS (Vehicle Stability System). It could mean a malfunction with the VSS computer module or a defective pillion seat switch/blown fuse. See page 117 when you get it.

    Also, take a few minutes to read the Do's and Dont's.

    Default Welcome, welcome 👍

    Many times the VSS warning comes on for certain maneuvers made like angled/banked turns on hills or sudden stops burnouts etc. These usually clear after the computers reset. You can shut her off remove the key have a snack come back and restart. If it is gone and does not return shortly you good but if it comes back have it checked out....

    First thing you do is check the VIN to see what the history of this bike has been. Also, have a dealer run a BUDS check. "bought it from insurance" sends up all kinds of red flags. Do you know why the insurance company had it? I'd sure want to know that. Flood damage? Wrecked? What?

    They didn't have any info. They have had it since 2015. I will check the vin and the buds asap.

    But from the damage I've found it looks like someone launched it. Frame seems sound. Bent handlebar and broken passenger handgrip. Battery box looks like it was crushed by the tire impacting it.

    Thank you

    You up can get a copy of BRP user manuals via

    http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/O...010/2122EN.pdf

    All user manuals are available

    Do a search on BRP User manuals
    From the page use the drop down menu (LHS) Select Roadster - Model,- Year
    the manuals are listed at the bottom in various languages

    once you find the one you want
    e.g EN1- Operators Guide you need to touch it to allow it to load into a new tab
    once its loaded you can read through it
