Well, as much as you've wanted to get rid of it, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned on you somewhere down the line...

:sour:

Nothing you can say will change my mind about computers in vehicles and equipment. I really like riding the Spyder AND my John Deere 110 backhoe. But I hate their expensive and unreliable computers. End of this coversation please?

Exactly! And the brain also does a good job of dealing with problems that require fast and correct actions...especially if the brain is well practiced. After years of such practice...I have a really hard time turning these decisions over to a machine that is proven to fail on occasions. But some brains are not well practiced and the Nanny may be good for them. Which is why I say "to each their own" and leave me alone! Notice that I do not make disparaging remarks about those that disagree with me. Some on here should adopt the same habit!

Why don't you just engineer a way to turn it off. You seem like a person who can do anything..... jump out of airplanes, exchange parachutes with other skydivers in midair, build your own racecars. Not sure what else you have done that you haven't bragged about yet. If I were you and had all those talents, I would have just disabled the nanny by now. :dontknow:

A couple of times, I have asked you how many miles you have logged, and haven't received an answer.
Are you willing to engage on that issue yet?

Nice

Hi Dave,
If you don't want a hard time over your dislike of "Nanny"; don't make such a big deal out of her. Until you figure out how to rip her out of the system; she's gonna be there... watching you! :shocked:

Enjoy the music, and sing along! :thumbup:

Loves me Some Joe Walsh! Nice Bob, and appropriate for the OP!

 

[Bob Denman]

I always thought that his music was unusual enough for me... that it was perfect! :thumbup:

Joe Walsh and Jeff Lynne on stage together. Doesn't get much better than that! :dg1::yes:

You have one very fine ear... :thumbup:

Well maybe not so much my ear....... Joe Walsh introduced Jeff Lynne at the beginning of the video :dg2:

I was actually referring to your taste in music... :thumbup:

There is almost nothing to be concerned about. The rear will slide a bit, but I don't think there is any way,short of driving off a cliff, that you can flip the bike over. Now I have had the front wheels off the ground, but but not for long yo will feel the nanny grab the baike and slow it down, and down comes that wheel. Pretty cool!

My wife was driving and took an off-camber corner a little too hard at about 20mph. I was on the pillion.

We tipped over so far that when I put my foot out to bring us back I could easily touch the ground from the pillion seat. Had I not done so we would have been over.

It seems that two-up, and in a higher gear than normal, over-rides the stability control input, or at least confuses it. It is very easy to lift the inside front wheel under these circumstances when driving a little hard - even my wife has done it under my guidance.

We tend to push our RS and "normal" owners are unlikely to find these limits very quickly.

For the original poster the easy way to see what will happen is around sharp, right angle corners at 15 to 20mph. Make sure you are in second gear and apply power no later than half way around. The wheel comes up, you will get a fright and shut off, and the wheel comes down again.

The first time I did it there was a backfire as the stability control cut the engine briefly. Sometimes I can keep the wheel up for 5 or 6 feet or maybe more, at a height of 6" to 12" off the deck.

It's also harder to do it for very long now since the steering position sensor was reset when we had the electronic wheel alignment done. I now tend to get a lot of ignition cutout unless I am in second gear.

Relax the Butt

I'm also knew to the spyder and corner thing, sure is a workout
I took my wife for an hour ride and she woke up with sore back muscles just from leaning into the corners lol

Got our Spyder on Saturday and rode it two hours on Sunday. My wife said she was getting a workout leaning into the turns too. She said she had to keep telling herself to relax her butt. Then she enjoyed the ride much better. :2thumbs: Practice, practice, practice. We'll get there. Lovin' it big time! My wife drove me to a restaurant 6 miles away on 4 lane divided highway (don't tell anyone). She did great. We have a huge church parking lot with lots of turns and straightaways to practice. I'm not sure she's going to let me drive any more! I might have to follow on my two wheeler. Or get another Spyder.
