• 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.

    CANNOT figure out this DPS issue - intermittently cutting out on corners. Any clues?

    Still trying to figure it out. May have to have it scanned at a dealer which I’m trying to avoid. Might just get my own buds scanner before I do that.

    Should my GS be Dripping fuel after canister delete?

    Okay thanks I will try to re-do it tonight. Just confused as to the frame rail part but I’m sure I can figure it out. My right frame rail goes all the way down right by below the tank. I’ll make sure I don’t have any low spots tonight. This is how it is currently, turns towards the floor in...

    Should my GS be Dripping fuel after canister delete?

    Thanks BajaRon, I am going to try re-routing the line tonight and try again. I also am going to wrap the exhaust near the tank to keep it a bit cooler. So with the vent tube out of the tank, how high up towards the column should I go? Right now its basically making the same loop that it did...

    Should my GS be Dripping fuel after canister delete?

    The leak is from the new vent line. I ran it up from the tank, so its about 5-6 inches higher than the tank, then it loops back down along the fuel tank, to the rear of the bike, followed the instructions as best as I could posted by BajaRon. I think the fuel in the tank is getting too...

    Should my GS be Dripping fuel after canister delete?

    2008 GS - did the canisterectomy last night, ran the vent line up from the tank, certainly higher than the tank itself, then back down along the right side to the rear just like I see people doing on a couple of videos and posts. But I now have a lot of fuel smell from the rear of the bike, and...

    CANNOT figure out this DPS issue - intermittently cutting out on corners. Any clues?

    Well I spoke too soon. Ride it for an hour last night, and made a quick right turn into a parking lot towards the end of the ride, and the DPS went out almost immediately. :mad: So back to the drawing board. I’m still thinking voltage issue. Same code came back. p0551, no VCM voltage code...

    CANNOT figure out this DPS issue - intermittently cutting out on corners. Any clues?

    Update on this issue, it appears to be resolved, we charged the battery, and cleaned all the grounding points. But what I am 99% sure the issue was, when we removed the frunk to get at the front grounding point near the DPS, I found what looked to be like a homemade grounding wire that went from...
