Brakes: “The Spyder brake switch started failing with less than 14K miles on the vehicle. The driver my wife, did not know it was failing, only an engine code VSS would appear and the vehicle would go into limp home mode, until it could be restarted. Checking online forms, there were several post about the brake switch. I check in our garage and discovered I could push the brake pedal and sometimes there would be a two second delay before the lights would come on. Pressing harder on the brakes made them flicker on and off. At times only half the brake lights would come on. …”

Suspension: “The rear airback suspension has been broken since I purchased the motorcycle in august 2020. A new system has been put in but it has also failed. This makes the motorcycle dangerous to ride. The ride is very hard and when hitting a bump, the passenger can fall off.”
