• 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.

Been getting this fault since the fall of 2011. For the longest time just shutting key off and turning back on would clear the fault.
The vss fault went from once in a while to almost everytime I started the bike. The last time I got a 0 gear selection and vss fault, plus when the key was turned on, the tach and speedo needles would only go around about 1/4 of the way, not the full distance as with normal start.
Swapped in a new relay in the front fuse box and it looks like I am good to go.
The first time this ever happened was when the bike had 21000 km on it (about 12000 miles).
Pays to carry a spare relay. Digikey.com part no. Z2051-ND $3.42 canadian plus shipping of $8.00

Awsome, brother! I always carry 1-2 spare relays and assorted fuses with me. There is nothing worse than getting caught out somewhere as the result of a 25 cent fuse or a 2 buck relay!
