There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

DPS
:agree: ...the DPS has a large power draw and if there is a glitch in the system circuit it could be causing the Code ..... check connections and strength of Battery............ Mike :thumbup:

USED DPS
If needed I do have a used dps with 1165 miles on it. $500. But check all other connections and ground, including main ground on engine.

Replaced one last month
My wife’s 2011 RT/S DPS died last month. One week and $1800.00 cured the failed unit but I like a lot of you wonder if the unit was defective when new. My dealer stated the unit was not one involved in a recall, but I was always suspected it was failing. I came home with the old unit so some day I’ll bench it and paint it gold and hang it on the wall.:banghead:

DPS
Like I stated in my original post I have done everything I can think of including reading most of the 200+ post dealing with "check DPS". What happened was I decided to unhook the analog gages. In order to remove the bezel you have to turn the steering all the way to the right or left. In my case I turned it left. After unhooking the wires on the gages I replaced the bezel and started the engine. The digital gages worked and with the bars still turned full left the check dps (big orange screen) showed up. I shut it down, straightened the bars and started it again.....big orange screen. Took it for a ride around the block and sure enough the steering was real tight in the corners. Checked codes and had P0551 and P0552.

DPS ISSUE
I don't gamble /bet ........... that being said, considering what you had done ( mechanically ) what do you think the odds are that ..... that and the instant Failure of the DPS are connected .... I think the odds are " zero " ....... believe it or not , folks here have fixed code issues just by completely dis-connecting the Battery....... I agree the DPS unit may very well have failed, but $1200 or so would not be my first choice for fixing it ..... If you aren't looking for other possible answers :dontknow:... then get a new DPS............ and I REALLY hope that fixes your issue ....because it might not, and then well ................ Mike :thumbup:

Replaced DPS unit. All codes gone, back to square one. The DPS was a kinda PITA because of it's location but all in all not too bad. Had to buy a special socket $16 for the SAS magnet but everything else was straight forward. Cost $1200 but saved $600 in labor. I wonder if they can check the old unit to verify if it is really bad or I just finally tightened the right ground wire.

Called the dealer this morning and was told I didn't need an appointment to have the steering sensors reset so loaded the bike on the trailer and off I went. Probably would have taken about 15 minutes but had a software update that needed installed so took about 1/2 hour. Only paid for the BUDS hookup, 42.00. On the road again. Thanks all for the inputs.
