• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    How the heck do you get to the VCM bleeder port on 09 GS?

    2011 Spyder RS Limp Home Mode Gremlins

    It seems from more reading that I may be best to start by replacing the speed sensors but I am open to suggestions on what the next step is to tackle this beauty and maybe get it on the road for a fall tour

    2011 Spyder RS Limp Home Mode Gremlins

    Reading more on this site VCM failure is unlikely. Previous powersports shop diagnostic was valve stuck… but those codes don’t return. We have tested looping the brake switch, seems to be functioning properly.

    2011 Spyder RS Limp Home Mode Gremlins

    Recently picked up this 2011 RS with 18k kms on it. It’s been sitting for a couple years since 2019. Codes for parking brake, ABS and VSS come up on the dash. Also seem to have an issue with the cluster only wants to work intermittently. I’ve taken the console off to find a mouse nest, removed...

    Just to add to the mix. Previous dealer just scanned with BUDS. Codes say replace ECM. Quick inspection and we have a mouse nest by the computer. Seems like a good place to start… Will report back

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome RareSnacks to SL

    In my limited reading a failure of the VCM is unlikely. As the story goes this bike has been sitting since approx 2018, Its plate was only valid until 2019 it seems to have been last passed inspection in 2018 as well, so its definitely in need of all fluids swapped and some inspection of...
