My dealer said the have to check it out and try to duplicate it before they can put in a claim and they never heard of the problem so I`m kinda weary about that. they can`t take it in till oct.1 so I think I`ll look around in the mean time................ I was wondering if the D.E.S.S. warning came up on the screen will that show up on BUDS?

I was in law enforcement, and had the opportunity to talk to Forensic computer specialists …. these are the people who go into the computers memory banks and retrieve what is believed to have been Intentionally deleted / erased...… according to them - nothing that registers on the memory board dis-appears …. so if the dealer says the code etc. is not there, they are wrong …. it's there but they can't find it or don't want to …. it's that simple ….. good luck …..

When I had DESS disabled we looked through the rest of BUDS. My bike had 0 codes stored. So if there is a record of a DESS failure, it's not stored where BUDS can see it.

In BUDS, on the Faults tab, the default display only shows active codes. You can tell it to show all stored codes.
Yes, the DESS codes show up there too. If the error came on screen, the code was stored. If your dealer says otherwise, they need to get with BRP on how to use BUDS. Training is available.

Does the DESS warning appear if the battery is about to tank? Or if it's appearing now it has nothing to do with the battery?

Yep. jcthorne found my past DESS issues and the code where my turn signals went into hyper flash when I switched to LED. Codes are there, just have to know what rock to turn over to find them.

No definitive answer. If the battery is going bad, all sorts of electrical gremlins sneak out of hiding. Replace the battery first then diagnose anything else.

I had my DESS disabled on my 2014 RT. My local dealer had parts ordered to replace the module and antenna. Almost 3 weeks and no parts yet.
I missed too much riding..loaded bike up went to Nixa,Mo. Everything I wanted done was completed in 3 hours and to perfection. They had to clean up some of the wiring that was added for some extra lights I had my dealer install.
The trip was worth every gallon of gas. Great service !!!
Thanks

I attached the DESS Bulletin.
DESS 1.pdf
Refer to TST ROADSTER 2nd Generation D.E.S.S. Principal Of Operation (2014 and Up) to fully understand the principle of operation of the latest D.E.S.S. generation. With first D.E.S.S. module production,when the D.E.S.S. module was sending his signal to the antenna to read the key chip, the radio frequency produced by the antenna was too strong and the key chip was saturated. This saturation changed the data transmitted back to the D.E.S.S. module causing a bad reading of the key chip. A ferrite has been added in new 710004916 module to reduce RFI/EMI signals.

On the vast majority of 2014 experiencing this DESS issue, BOTH needed to be replaced even when using the UPDATED DESS module.
Replacing the DESS alone did work for some, but not for most.

HI Lew,
Originally on July 14th 2015 the dealership replaced the D.E.S.S module,( resolution Replaced Dess module. TST 2014-015).Part # 710004190.
2nd Time the D.E.S.S module/and the Switch was replaced on : Aug. 28th, 2015 ( Replaced switch and dess module) part # 71004190/ switch # 710004413.
**** Problem: Intermittently the ignition key may not be recognized causing the unit not to start. The D.E.S.S ERROR message will be displayed in the cluster.
Solution : Replace the D.E.S.S moudle. Program the keys using the B.U.D.S . Referring to the 2014 RT Shop manual section Digitally Encoded Security System D.E.S.S.
Technical Explanation: When the D.E.S.S module sends its signal to the antenna to read the key chip, the radio frequency produced by the antenna is too strong and the key is saturated . This saturation changed the data transmitted back to the D.E.S.S. module causing a bad lecture of the key chip.

Thanks Deanne, I've read your threads and others. I'll be replacing ( and moving) the module soon.
Do you think that a shield of some kind on the key would help?????

Still requires key to unlock ignition. DESS does nothing to prevent theft of the bike that the mechanical key does not and it is easily bypassed with software by a thief once the bike is stolen. Do not even need a key do bypass it. Most bikes are stolen with a wrecker, not driven.

There is all that! ^^ but I think the greater risk of theft comes from leaving your 'not working cos the bloody DESS won't let it Spyder on the side of the road or in a carpark far from home while you're off trying to arrange the tow you KNOW it's gonna need now cos it's the bleedin' 37th time this freaking crappy piece of DESS electronics has stopped you from starting your Spyder YET AGAIN' in some less than ideal place because you can't start it is faaaar more likely than anything else!
If it starts reliably then it's gonna spend more time being ridden, but with the DESS actively failing as often as they do, your Spyder is WAAAAYYY more likely to end up needing to be left somewhere you'd prefer not to cos it's far more likely to get flogged from there than it is when you are ryding it!

We have a BIG motorcycle rodeo in our small town over Labor Day weekend. Every year a few high dollar bikes are stolen. Bikes with alarms, bikes chained to posts, bikes parked in busy lots. That stuff stops the joy riders, but if a knowledgeable thief wants your ride he will get it. Pay your insurance, ride more worry less. The only thing DESS is good for is starting a conversation.

In the UK we can't get insurance cover if the dess is disabled. Even if the dess is functioning but the bike is left without the keylock turned to lock the bars theft cover is invalid. It may be different for you folks but I'd be checking it out to be sure
