BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER

[oldguyinTX]

And who knows how long they would keep it. Anyway, on two occasions, yesterday & today, while turning left and accelerating the RT felt like it was trying to stall. Kinda jumped, and hesitated. Limited throttle response. Once I got moving in a straight line, all was fine. I tried to duplicate it turning right, but it didn't happen. Any ideas?:dontknow:

Nanny?

Nanny?

I was thinking the same thing. Did the little nanny light come on?

Nanny?

Hey, thats what I was going to say!!!

Sounds like just what the Nanny does when you corner a little to fast

 

[jtoro1]

Nanny?

I agree Nanny

Didn't see the nanny light, but then I was watching the car bearing down on me.

Is there a Nanny light? I haven't seen one when mine kicks in. Just curious........

Yes, it's just above the tach, between the 2 and the 3. It only flashes for a second, so it's easy to miss. If you look when you turn the key on, it lights up for a couple seconds. It's yellow and looks like an out of control motorcycle.

I think you are referring to the " VSS " picture / symbol ? ? ?.................Mike :thumbup:

Ummm isn't that what the nanny is? :dontknow:

Dwight,
What you describe is exactly the way the nanny reacts.
I agree with all the others.
It's disconcerting the first time it happens. It feels like the Spyder is going to stall in the middle of an intersection.
Happened to me twice, and then I learned.

It is likely the Nanny and if it only happens on a left turn. The Steering Angle Sensor needs to be reset. Since it has to be plugged into BUDS to do that. The Yaw Rate Sensor should be checked and the Steering Torque Sensor too.

The Nanny light will stay on as long the Stability System is stepping in. Most of the time it is very short. You will likely never see it because you will be busy looking somewhere else.

That same thing (Left turn at speed, nanny kicks in) has happened to me a couple of times. I just happen to spot the light flash on for a second out of the corner of my eye. It was only after reviewing the owners guide that I learned it's the nanny light.

Hi Zippy!
As you were turning left, and grabbing the loud lever with that cage bearing down on you; the rear tire probably tried to spin a little bit. Wheelspin doesn't really upset Nanny when the bike is pointing straight ahead, but she gets nervous when the wheels are turned to either side. That was her putting her hand on yor shoulder...

:shocked: Our Nanny is a good Nanny; she keeps us safe... :shocked:
Repeat the chant until sunrise, and then go for a ride! :2thumbs:

NANNY

Yes.

I could be mis-informed but I thought the " nanny " was the " computer "....which controlled everything ..............Not just the " Vehicle Stability System "........Thanks for correcting me :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:.........Mike

I tend to agree with you. I would say "Nanny" is somewhat of a "catch-all" term for all of the computers and their impact on Spyder operations. A non-VSS item I would say is part of Nanny is the engine speed control. The ECM won't let you throttle up the engine past redline. Is that a Nanny control? Not if you limit the definition of Nanny to the VSS, but yes if you accept my broader definition of Nanny. Another one is the transmission control module and the automatic shifting down as the Spyder slows down. Which unit gives the downshift command, the VSS when it measure the bike speed, or the TCM after the VSS tells it what speed the bike is moving?

What we don't know, at least none of us who is not deeply immersed in the programming of the VSS and ECM, is what actually happens when "Nanny" cuts back on the throttle. Is the VSS taking over the engine speed function momentarily and throttling back, or sending an instruction to the ECM to throttle back? If taking over then the VSS truly does fit the typical image of a nanny. If sending instruction then it's the combination that is acting like a nanny.

But most of the Nanny actions will be VSS based so that's why Nanny and VSS are somewhat synonymous.

You guys are way over thinking this
Nanny is the little white haired lady looking over you shoulder
And yes she will kick you in the butt if she does not like the way you ride :roflblack::roflblack::shemademe_smilie::shemademe_smilie::roflblack:

 

[Chupaca]

Bummer..!!

but it one of the nanny's control methods...applying the brakes or messing with the timming ( makeing the engine sputter and sound like it will die any second)...but you may still need to have some adjustments...:banghead:
