Blueknight911, Mike is right, VSS is your angel on your shoulder, often called "the Nanny", if you are a spirited driver, you'll see those vss warnings often, not a bad thing.
Nanny wil adapt to your drivingskills overtime, so those vss warnings should be become less.... but when you drive like a Numbnut, the nanny will reduce power...
Learn to drive the Ryker, it will need a few miles, It took me around a thousand miles to be comfortable on my F3s, just read the forum, there is a sticky bout how to drive your ryker
Mike (bleuknight911), has often stated, Drive it like you drive your car, and you'll be fine.
It took me quite some time, to understand that you must let the spyder/ryker do the turning, at first I found that it was a very ehm "twisty"experience, once I found the sweet spot, on turning, then the bike rewarded me, with a very pleasant driving experience
Since then, I made quite a few changes to the machine, and now even fast bikes, are amazed, how well the spyder can keep up, specially in the twisties.
Enjoy your Ryker, get used to the bike, then start changing things... don't start with upgrades, untill you are comfortable right out the box..
my two cents
