• 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.

i was riding yesterday and the dps fault came on and put me into limp mode. after restarting it 5 times i shook the handle bars and started again the dps fault was gone. rode the rest of the day has this happened to anyone else. do u think it is ok to ride also.
thanks
 
YOu might want ot pop by the dealership and have them hook it up to their BUDS unit; it'll show them what error codes have been stored...
By any chance; could you have been riding the brake pedal al little bit? That's something that really gives "Nanny" fits... :shocked:
 
no i stay away from the brake it was the only thing my salesman told me. thx for ur help going tuesdayb
 
DPS Fault

When you got the DPS fault was it very windy, or were you on a very long curved onramp?
That is where we had all of ours!
Had the dealer recenter the handlebars,That has helped but still get once in a while.
If after pulling the key & walking away, system is clear don't worry about it!!
 
I agree that a side wind and/or a long sweeping curve can do it. The Spyder has steering angle and steering torque sensors, as well as a yaw sensor. In long curves or side winds these sensors sometimes mismatch readings a little. If the programmed interval times out, it thinks there is something wrong with the steering, and goes into limp mode for your safety. It can be made worse by steering that is not centered or steering sensors that are out of calibration. Have your tech center the steering, then zero the steering sensors. Thaht's all you can really do. If your riding conditions cause it again, pull over, center the handlebars, then turn the Spyder off for long enough (15-30 seconds) for the display to go blank for bit. Turn it back on and limp mode should be gone unless there is an actual problem like a bad sensor.

Maybe you shouldn't let TJ take it out powersliding in the rain with us.....:roflblack:


Seriously, have TJ pull the left rear fender and double check the bolts/cables on the battery. Mine did the same last year and it was a loose battery cable....:thumbup: The DPS draws a lot of power and goes goofy with loose connections.


Oh, we're still trying to get a good ride together in the VERY NEAR future....
