The motorcycle was stationary when fault occured. It failed to start following refueling. A 'vds' code was displayed on the screen. Dealer could not connect to the ecu to determine the fault codes. The dealer tested all the sensors and wiring and no issue. Finally they replaced the ecu and they were able to connect to the ecu. They said the fault is in the ecu and needed to be replaced. The motorcycle has 4600 miles on it. If the ecu faulted while riding, a vds (vehicle drop sensor) code can potentially cause a crash at high speeds, especially when cornering on motorcycles. Bmw motorcycles of usa failed to take responsibility for a faulty ecu. This vds code seems to be a common issue on this motorcycle as reported by many people on forums.
