dps fault
while crusing down 23 in Tennessee my dps light went on and the bike went into limp mode. pulled over shut the engine down checked the oil, no problem. checked the manual could find no reason to cause the problem. the manual said take it to the nearst dealer for repair. tried calling a dealer in east tennessee, no answer. last hope tried to start the engine. It satatred and no warning lights came on. proceed for an additional 200 miles to my destination without any problems. WTF, if it continues without problems whill get it checked back home in Michigan.

Check your battery connections and the battery voltage. The DPS pulls more juice than anything on the Spyder. The problem could also be in a related component, such as the steering sensors. Your dealer can connect to BUDS to see the cause. It could be as simple to fix as recalibrating the steering sensors.

When i got my Spyder 3+ years ago I wired in a pig tail for a heated jacket, Direct to the battery [fused]
And i added Star Washers to the posts, Never did they ever loosen
Maybe that's the way to go if some people are having their terminals getting lose.

We had that fault a few weeks ago and took it into the dealer and the only thing we could figure out is that we had taken a curve about a mile long down hill that was a constant and it caused the sensors to think there was a problem with the angle of the tires. We pulled over and it cleared, but did put us in the limp mode. Cleared after I shut it down and strated it a few minutes later. We have right at 5,400 miles on our RT Limited since the first of May. That was the only problem we have had.
