Fault VDS

I just installed a PC V loaded the map took it out to ride it and the bike shut off giving me a VDS ! Code. Anyone have an idea what this is.

Drop Sensor... the bike thinks your bike has been on its side...

Cycle the on/off switch, then try and start it. OR pull the seat and see if the drop sensor has snuck out its perch and is laying sideways.

Yes I tried cycling it off and on and it keeps coming up but I will check the perch in the am and report back. BTW thanks for the info

If that doesn't work, could be a faulty Drop Sensor... dealer would have to check that out.

You could also try kill switch off then on again, but this is Vertical Drop Sensor warning, so it's either unplugged or not vertical I would guess.

OR... you might be able to take a amp meter and check the sensor on your own... my guess is it's an open or closed circuit and tipping it one way or the other will either close it or open it.

Not 100% that'll work, but worth a shot.

It was out of the bracket. I must have knocked it out putting the tank back. I put it back in and it runs like a champ. Thanks for the help.
