    Default DESS disable during our travels this year

    A number of folks have expressed desire to have DESS disabled but are not near a dealer or shop willing and capable of doing the task.

    As in years past, I will have my BUDS system with me during our annual bike trip and willing to meet up with other Spyder owners that wish to have this done.

    This year we will be traveling through the following states: TX, OK, KS, IA, SD, ND, WI, MI, IN, KY, TN and northern LA. If you are in one of those states and interested in meeting up and having your DESS turned OFF, it only takes a few minutes. Reach out to me via PM or email me at jcthorne@thornolis.com and I will let you know when and where we will be in your state.

    I am new to the Spyder world.

    Why disable the DESS? What are the issues with it?

    .... Starting in 2014 BRP changed the DESS module system .... and it wasn't for the better .... the original one worked almost flawlessly ..... The DESS failures have lessened , however it's still not perfect ...... It can be fixed / repaired DIY for about $ 140.00. .... or find someone who has an advanced BUDS program and they do it in about 5 min. ...... The DESS is part of the Security system .... IMHO it's not needed ..... good luck ..... Mike

    We have also found that the only reliable fix for this is to disable the DESS in BUDS. We had this problem with our 2020 F3 SE6 Limited. Dealer replaced the DESS and the antenna but problem returned. After third time trailering the bike to the dealer we requested that they disable the DESS, which is a redundant security system anyway. This solved the problem. It is unconscionable that a company with the resources and expertise of BRP cannot get this right.
