Just wanted to share another example of what a loose battery connection can cause on these Spyders...After experiencing very hard steering in corners, slow starting and more recently inconsistent heated grips, I did some research on here about DPS issues...As many people had previously shared, it may simply be loose battery connections, and/or corroded connections, so off to the garage I went last night. After accessing the battery, low and behold, the negative connection was slightly loose and corroded...removed battery, cleaned everything, reinstalled, re-tightened, and it immediately started better. Rode 30 miles to work this morning, and found heated grips got hot almost immediately, and steering worked much better again. Problem solved, no parts required and no one got hurt :pray:
The steering issue was getting scary as it would intermittently stop assisting in corners and I had a few close calls fighting to get it to turn by surprise.:yikes:
A big thank you to everyone who provides their experiences on here for others to learn from...hope this info can help someone else...You guys rock!
