It happened again. Stranded in Pennsylvania with the dreaded DESS ignition error symbol. I have a 2014 RT-S. The dealer acknowledges they don't really know what the cause is.
Googling search shows many Spyder owners have suffered the same. Has BRP done anything to fix this problem? Swagman.
It would be bike by bike. Most of us have not experienced that issue.Quote:

Read the thread posted above.
Turn key on and off a few times and or leave for awhile come back and try to start bike. Get home and have repaired ASAP>
There is a lot to read about it here. Once it fails the best thing is to have the dealer replace the switch and module. Otherwise it will only get worse. I would make sure they change both...:lecturef_smilie:
Wish I were closer, could have you up and running in less than 10 minutes and never see that error again. Truly wish more dealers would allow owners to just turn this defective system off.
I agree. Best thing to do is have the DESS disabled. Everytime I see these posts, I look to see where they live. I can disable it, but Maryland is too far.

So you got that module replaced :clap:
Yes, I did it myself. It is not a hard thing to change it just takes some time.Quote:

With 2014, you better get both replaced or you are headed for future problems.
