New battery, throwing codes and will not start...
Two days ago my dealer installed my new battery in my 2008 GS, ran about 99 miles of different errands and today it will not start and every time I hit the starter button it throws a dps and a vss code...clicks but no turn over. Ideas?, help!

Look for loose battery connections or a loose rear frame ground (negative jumper terminal under seat). Also check that your fuses and relays are properly seated. If everything is tight, suspect a bad main relay. You can swap with the fan relay temporarily to troubleshoot it.

Agree. loose cable or blown fuse would be my first assumption.

As above check the leads and did your shop put it on charg first before fitting it I did mine and put it on a 2amp charge first took 5 hours if the batteay drops to low in volts then the dps wount work

I am leaning toward an improperly prepped battery from the shop. They add the liquid usually just when the battery is needed and it gets a quick charge on it.
Its a slow, long charging period.

it sounds like the battery was not fully charged before installation, and the errand rides were not enough to keep it charged.

Is it the oem battery from BRP or a knock-off from a Battery WareHouse. 1st question to ask is, brand new in a box, or new off the shelf. Some of these guys open the batteries when they get them acid them charge them and throw them on the shelf. Not knowing your dealers history about service, I would check wiring connections and make sure no wires were left off by accident or incompitence..

Take it back to the dealer and let him put a new battery (fully charged) in for free.

Are you using a battery like the one pictured in the video ?????.....I don't think you should be using that type....I'm almost positive ours have to be sealed.......Mike

Sealed one, but the video was to show that the batteries need charging real well after installation.
