    I would put a voltmeter on the spyder (permanent or temporary) and go riding. This will let you know if your charging system is failing letting the battery run down. If during the ride you don't...

    I'm going to pull the body work off this weekend and try some brake clean to check for vacuum leaks at the rubber flanges (and other locations) as BajaRon suggests. Hopefully I will be able to track...

    That's interesting. How did you know that your throttle body gaskets were bad? Did you have the same symptoms or more? Do you mean you replace the rubber flanges between the throttle body and...

    Did they reset the low pressure switch? Give this a try:

    1) Turn the key on and press the button to clear the read safety card message
    2) Press and hold the brake pedal past the second click....

    I used a powered trailer light converter on my '08 GS to protect the factory wiring. It was an easy install and I mounted the converter box above the rear wheel fender liner (whatever its called).

    Did you have a laser alignment done or the factory method of measurements? If it wasn't a laser alignment find a shop that does them. If it was, take it back and let them know that you're still...

    I tow a Timeout behind my '08 GS SM5. It tows it very well. I was talking to a friend of mine that has a 2017 RT SM6 who pulls an Aspen Classic. His experience pulling the camper is the same a...

    I tried several rounds of fuel system cleaner (Seafoam and Techron) in my Spyder first and it didn't help the problem.

    No, I haven't had any problems with the gear position sensor. The Spyder has been great other that the annoying misfire around 55mph. I was hoping that a long trip would help and took a weekend...

    I am the OP and no I still haven't gotten the problem fixed. I'm out of ideas and will have to resort to taking the GS in to the dealer even though I don't have much confidence in them. I'm...

    I had trouble resetting my Brake Failure error last year. I had to bleed the brakes and then do the low brake pressure switch reset to clear the error. Although the brakes felt good, it was clear...

    No I haven't solved the problem yet. I'm going to have to let the dealer look at it and see if they can find the problem.

    I have been wondering if it might be a problem with either the MAP sensor or the fuel pressure regulator. I don't want to spend the money on just replacing them to see if it helps. But if it did it...
