DPS Recall Exchange

[mrk2ejk]

Got my notice yesterday. Called the local dealer and was told as of right now...BRP will only ship a new unit once they receive the old unit...could be up to a 2 week turn around. Kinda confused...will the new DPS make a difference in handling?

You shouldn't notice any difference unless your DPS is already bad.

I was at my dealer yesterday...they told me of the recall and gave me an appointment for this morning. I will be leaving shortly for the steering recall.

I got lucky. Called my dealer Yamaha of San Antonio. They were able to get me in this Friday. That was quicker than I expected.

I've never had a confirmed problem with the DPS. Once on the highway with the wife on back in a gradual sweeper, I had it get momentarily "stuck" and then it released and I pressed on. At the next stop light I was wiggling the bars back and forth as I'd read here about other issues.

Either way, it is safe to just get it replaced.

Had mine done yesterday. I had the steering lock up on me before and it was not pleasant. Carlo and my dealer have been great handling the issue. A new DPS was installed a few months ago but I still had the thought in the back of my mind. Courtenay Motorsports on Vancouver Island made sure I was taken care of with the first units they received, they have been awesome to deal with. Rode three hours home on a beautiful day! Unlike some who felt a difference I did not. Just peace of mind.

Mission accomplished. Was at my appointment at 9 AM, done by 10:45 AM. I am not an accomplished finesse rider, so I will not go into something I could mislead someone about. But in summery, the new DPS is tighter, more responsive, smoother. Feels a lot more like a car power steering. I will suggest, just as a precaution, when you get yours done, take time to get the feel of it before you go do some daring twisties.

But most of all..."Git'r dun!!!".

Quick DPS turnaround

FWIW - I got my letter today, called the dealer (Joe Harrison Honda) and they said come on over and we'll do it today. I left the bike there and will pick it up Tuesday after i get a few other items done (tune up, etc). They were friendly and accommodating. I'm in Texas - San Antonio and have a 2009 Phantom.
