It is now installed, and ..... WOW !! This thing makes the throttle sooo much more responsive. Install was a breeze, and I mounted it on the side of the brake fluid reservoir. The app is slick and easy, and makes programming a breeze. After install, I set out to see how it does. As soon as I put it in 1st and went down the street, I noticed the difference. I got out of town and romped it down as soon as I hit the 55mph speed zone. That's when the bad happened. I heard a "beep beep" and the bike went into limp mode, with CEL flashing. CRAP !! I rode back home and shut it down for about 10 minutes. I then fired it up and went back out. No more limp mode and no more CEL. That ride went flawless. Sport in sport is really twitchy, but exhilarating. Back to city mode, as I didn't even try the Sport+ mode. In city mode, ECO mode on the Spyder is even more peppy. Cruise control works fine. If caught in rain/bad weather, I'll either set the PC to ECO and not worry about CC as I wouldn't use it then anyways or just turn the PC off. I went back home and did a couple more park and rides, and no more Limp Home or CEL. I pulled out my PV3 and checked for a code, and P0022 was displayed. Its causes are here:
What Is The Cause Of Code P0022?
Engine oil too low*
Dirty engine oil*
Sludged up engine
Low oil pressure
Malfunctioning camshaft timing
Short in intake timing control/oil control circuit
Faulty intake valve timing control solenoid
Faulty oil control valve (OCV)
*most common
My oil level is good and dipstick shows it nice and clean. I "think" my issue was getting a bit over zealous before the engine was fully warmed to operating temps. I did ride a few miles at 25-40mph, before romping, but I'm sure the engine wasn't fully warmed up. After a few park/ride sessions with no repeats, I did clear the code with my PV3. I'll keep riding to see how it goes, and hopefully no more issues. I suspect all will be well with fingers crossed. But back to the topic, the Pedal Commander is a hoot
