• 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.

    DPS failed, new DPS installed, 1:55 error code (whatever that is), overheating, etc.

    Extract the error code. My local dealer service appointments are 7-10 business days out. I know how you feel. The forum might have a dealer-free answer with a little more information. By all means this is a dealer problem and you should not repair yourself, but when it comes to VSS & DPS...

    Lithium-iron batteries

    Shorai Lithium Iron battery on a YFZ450 Quad No experience with this brand new battery technology on my Spyder, but I have the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery on my Yamaha YFZ450. The quad has a 15.5:1 piston and is a bitch to start, especially hot. The replacement battery for the quad...

    ABS Fault Code C003-

    My thoughts were correct. Took the bike for a LIMP MODE trip around the block. ABS and VSS lights in the dash cleared. Check engine remained until I stopped and removed the key until the parking brake alert shut off. No more codes. Yea baby!! Spydersense

    ABS Fault Code C003-

    Tonight when I get home I will try a LIMP MODE rode trip with the throttle nailed at 3500 rpm in 3rd gear. Hope I don't fall off!! If that doesn't clear it on a restart, I'll try the battery disconnect fix. Thx, Spydersense

    ABS Fault Code C003-

    It was time for a new rear tire. After installing the wheel/tire back on the bike, I left the axle loose while I adjusted the runout on the drive belt with the bike started and idling in 1st gear, rear tire off the floor. Getting ABS/VSS faults. the two codes produced are C003- and P2545...

    guest for more power question.

    I sold my Hindle pipe, installed a Two Bros single slip on, Juice Box Pro and a green filter. Used Two Bros recommended preset selection on the JB Pro. Previously did not have any FI help with the Hindle pipe. Was on the bike when I bought it. Was missing fuel from 3500-4500 RPM. Now, there is...

    aligment

    I have a unique awe S#$T experience to tell you about. I've had my Spyder up on my two-post lift many times. One too many. From 3-4 ft above ground, the bike shifted forward enough to fall off the left front lift pad. $900 in parts. I thought Allstate would cover the damage on my comprehensive...

    Mirror Extensions

    I installed the Kewlmetal extensions and I don't remember wiring extensions. How ever they came worked just fine. About the plastic beauty caps. I have not done this yet, but I plan to drill a shallow 3/16" hole in the windshield side of the extension for the plastic tab of the cap to fit. I'll...

    Looking for input...license plate location

    Mine hangs off my MELSMONSTERGARAGE rack that you can't get any more. I used a Cycle Dynamics black license plate frame with the LEDs. I love the blackout rear fender that is cut to a point in the center of the tire. Maybe I'll put my rear fender back on. Spydersense

    Switching to 185/60-14 Front Tires - Affect on VSS

    Mr. O., Thanks for the answer, I'm sold. Good tip about the spacers. The Yokohamas and your ride look great. I'm going to try the BFG g-force tires, a little higher treadwear rating and BFG also has a match for the rear. I commute about 80 miles/day, need to make them last. As for OEM vs. car...

    Switching to 185/60-14 Front Tires - Affect on VSS

    New to this forum compared to another for which I am a member. I must say Spyderlovers is packed with better information. Searches on both about this issue are coming up minimal. I want to switch to 185/60-14s on the fronts and need to know if there will be an affect on the VSS system or will it...
