Anyone know if you can do away with this sensor.ie bypass this thing? :o
Is the ECU giving you a fault code for it?
You can't simply bypass the VDS... you have to insert a resistor or capacitor or something into the circuit. From historical info, all the Vulcans appear to share the same sensor. I know a sensor for a 2005 mean streak will work on a 99 1500 drifter. Apparently, there is a circuit board on this thing that has gone bad on some drifters... it cuts out the fuel pump so you get no fuel...
If you haven't done the ecu self-test you should do so... it will tell you if the VDS is bad. Otherwise, you can be replacing all sorts of parts without impacting the situation.
