Orange screen

[splake0]

So I adjusted the belt on my wife’s 15 RTS today. Jacked it up loosened the axel started the Spyder put in gear to adjust the tracking. Brake failure orange screen VSS and check engine light all come on. Goes into limp home mode. After I tightened everything back up lowered the Spyder park brake would not apply. Backed unit out of garage VSS and check engine light go out. Move forward a couple feet brake failure orange screen go out.
All is back to normal.

Question is this normal? This is the first time I’ve worked on her Spyder.

Since the rear wheel was traveling considerably faster than the front wheels, yeah, that's normal.

Next time, just release the parking brake and move the wheel by hand.

It's normal. Rear wheel was turning, front wheels weren't. Nanny sensed a problem and did what it was designed to do. When all was back to normal the danger sign was switched off.

Not knocking what you did, or your methods, but I wonder why people feel they have to start the bike to spin the rear wheel...? The result makes sense that the Nanny fires up...

When you get old spinning the wheel by hand many many times gets tiresome. Furthermore there is a YouTube video that does it. No mention of nanny issues on the video.

I have turned the rear wheel with the engine a lot of times. (2019 F3) Never had a code come on.

Has anybody ever tried it in Sport Mode? Traction Control is turned off in Sport Mode on the later models.
