Quick question. I snapped off my antenna today. Will that affect DESS the next time I try to start the bike?
Thanks.

Welcome to posting on the Forum!! It's always good to see someone who's been here for a while putting up their first post on the public pages! :ohyea:Quote:

The DESS antenna is a small ring type antenna that's pretty much embedded in the surrounds of the ignition key, so it's not all that easy to get to. ;) I don't think you'd be able to accidentally snap that one off without doing some major trauma to your Spyder?! :shocked: So you should be good as far as the DESS antenna is concerned. :thumbup:
But while you're here, what year & model is your Spyder?? That may have a bearing on your potential exposure to any DESS issues or not; plus, it's a handy thing to know for those members considering replying to any questions you might raise. Hence the Sticky here:
https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...-your-Sig-Line!
that asks Members to add the Model and Year of their Spyder/Ryker to their Signature line. Check out the Sticky, and if you need a hand getting that info added to your Sig Line, just drop me or any of the other Mods here a PM - you'll be able to do that now you've got your first post on the boards! :2thumbs:
Thanks for the info. You are correct, it was the radio antenna. Obviously I have a lot to learn about this bike; rode two wheel bikes for 35+ years, bad knees forced me to go three wheels. My wife and I love this bike.
laidil, NO, it will not effect DESS the next time you start up your bike. Your broken antenna is on the back of your spyder.Quote:
