    Default Limp Mode - Coincidence?

    So...I brought my 2017 F3T to have it laser aligned and I added led lights on the front cross bars.
    The work was performed by a spyderlovers vendor with a lot of experience. 3 hours later I pay and ryde away.
    About 1 mile into the ryde the limp home mode comes on. I went back and he had no idea why.
    I'm not blaming him but now I guess it has to be towed to the dealer.
    Any ideas out there?

    Have you tried shutting it off, remove the key, walk once around the bike and then restart and ride it. Sometimes things just happen, then as mysteriously as they happen they go away, never to be seen again. Give it a try before you have it towed; what can you loose???

    It is a yaw rate sensor error. Did they reset you on BUDS after the alignment?

    Google 'spyder codes' then follow the Lamonster Garage link and it will give you a complete list of codes and their meanings.


    You can also download the spydercode app to your phone for more info.

    Default this issue

    Everything that happens in the system is logged into the computer and doesn't disappear .... If your Dealer can't find it ..... BRP will help them figure it out ....... BUT they have to ask for the assistance ..... Trust me , it's logged in B.U.D.S. .....Mike

That sensor wire is just below the plug and play wire from your A arm led to the fender lead wire approximately 3 inches or so away. May not have been pushed up far enough on the rubber/plastic holder on the fender support. It's located near the end (tire side) of the upper A arm. You'll have to get down and look closely to see it. I had to twist the wire and use a flashlight to actually see the frayed portion. Took about a mile or two ride to clear the code after taping the exposed area.

    Did the code come up right after the led install?

    I rode about three miles and it came up as soon as the wire covering had rubbed through and went into limp mode. I thought it may have been caused by something I had done during the install and sure enough it was my fault by not taking up the slack when tucking the excess wiring from the fender led that I installed along with the A arm leds. The shop manual I purchased paid off in trouble shooting a possible cause. Check your speed sensor on the inside upper portion of the wheel area, it's held in with one screw. I had to remove mine for more access.

    So far the nice people at Riva Motorsports in Pompano Beach Fl. ( I'm not being sarcastic ! ) have cleared the codes and aren't
    sure what caused them. They realize it could be an intermittent computer issue and are trying to replicate the problem.
    I really appreciate Dave and the other guys trying to figure things out for me, very professional...

    ... Well I'll bet I know more about the DESS issue than your ( professional ) Dealer ..... They apparently aren't even aware of the #1 issue /problem that began in 2014 after the DESS module was re-designed..... If they don't know what they are doing - suggest to them to contact BRP .... I think even the secretaries at the factory know about the DESS issue .... oooooorrrrrr , you can let your Spyder be their Guinea Pig to learn about this well known issue ..... I wish lots of luck with this ...... Mike
