Please provide more information if you expect help with this. Model and year of Spyder? What VSS code are you talking about - the icon on the dashboard? Is it continuous or intermittent? What are you doing at the time it comes on / goes off? What, if anything, had you changed about your bike right before you started having this issue?

VSS being the vehicle stability system usually sharp angles like parking on a hill, long sweeping banked curves, lifting a wheel off the ground, spinning the rear wheel into a slide etc. Any sensor tied into the system. Generally clears when corrected or computers reset...

The VSS is a pretty complex system involving a number of sensors, mostly in the wheels to measure rotational speed. Temporary warning would indicate the system had sensed one or more wheels had lost traction so the system kicked in to try to rectify the situation. The icon should not stay on, particularly at rest (i.e. no forward motion). If it does, then someone (dealer or smart phone app) should pull the fault codes to see why.

I can't imagine that a low battery would cause only this fault and no other. Low brake fluid could cause it I suppose, but it's more likely you'd get other fault lights (e.g. brake failure).

To reiterate, intermittent icon flashing is no cause for concern. Chronic icon display is something that needs investigation and possible correction (or just clearing the fault light if no codes present).

Tire pressures were low has been corrected dealer did mention steering issue but didn't notice anything I don't accelerate hard enough to spin tires I don't ride aggressively so there should not be any issues with stability
