• 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.

Any ideas on Engine Warning Light/Limp Mode intermittently showing?

Periodically my wife's Spyder Engine Warning Light and Limp Home mode comes up on her 2010 RT Spyder.
After switching off for a bit it runs absolutely fine on re-start. First time it happened we restarted and then went in to do a 900 mile trip with no issues. Since then its happened about another 4 times. Always restarts after a pause and then runs fine till the next time. The battery may be low and due for replacement. But not sure if this would be a contributing factor.
Anyone got any ideas..??? No codes come up with the engine warning nessages..

:welcome: …. Try this …. remove both battery cables from the battery wait 15 minutes and then re-connect. This will allow the computers to do a complete re-boot and may solve the issue …. If you aren't using STAR washers on the terminals , put a pair on before you re-connect. ….. If you can LOAD test the Battery, do so …. Batteries can go bad one day after you start to use them no matter how old they are. … If you aren't already using a battery MAINTAINER I suggest you start. The Magneto's for the V-twin engines struggle to keep up with the parasitic loss the batteries incur..... This is what I would try first - it's the least expensive thing …. good luck …. Mike :ohyea:

Also want to check for active codes this should work
Retrieving codes
2010 RS:
1. Turn Ignition key to "ON"
2. Push the "MODE" button to display total hours screen. Start engine and run until check engine light (or other fault indication) is displayed.
3. Press and hold "MODE" button while pushing the "High Beam Flash" button rapidly five times (within 2 seconds).
4. The active faults will be displayed or "No Active Fault Code" will be shown.
5. If you do not get a message, you didn't get the flash beams sequence done during the allotted time. Try again.
6. Jot the code-number down and check the list in the manual to determine your problem. Share this with your mechanic.
