Rear Tire Size Changed - Fault Code Problems

[MarkLawson]

While talking to my dealer's Service Manager, he told me of a Spyder they'd had for about a month and couldn't figure out why it kept throwing about 8 different codes and then go into 'Limp Home' mode. This would happen within about 10 minutes after clearing the fault codes. He said that they had checked & rechecked everything and could find anything wrong.

He was talking to a BRP rep today and was told what to look for: rear tire change.

It turns out that the owner had changed the rear tire to a larger size tire, which threw the rear wheel out of synch with the sensors and the computers.

May be something to consider when deciding on a new tire.

Hi and Welcome to Canada :thumbup:. Lately the Canadian weather has been terrible from snow in parts of BC to rain and high winds on the east coast. I saw on the noon news toiday that they are still skiing in parts of the mountains in BC. Enjoy your trip and keep us posted :2thumbs:
