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.

I finally got the call from my service department Action Jet Sports of Bradenton.
They replaced the DPS and did some other service checks that I asked them to look into this last Saturday.
I must say that I didn't think I was having a problem with the original DPS, but I took it in for the recal. NOW I DO notice with the new DPS that when cornering it is much smoother and I don't get that catch that I now realize was happening. It was ever so minor, but now that it doesn't do that any more I really can tell the improved difference.
Action did an excellent job for me of installing some zerks, checking on some of the items that were reported as problems here in this board, and doing some minor service all under warranty with no cost to me.
Action Jet Sports of Bradenton gets high marks from me for their service.

Don't take them off yet. It could just need the steering sensors calibrated, which only requires hooking up to BUDS. It is pretty common for the dealers to fail to properly reset the sensors after a DPS change.i had mine done and now the VSS came on LIMP HOME MODE and DPS came up and i have so much custom work i have to take all the panels off and trunk before anyone will touch it............. now i gotta do it again unless some out there has an answer for meray:

DPS steering changed out
I received a recall notice for the steering DPS, I sent an E-mail to the Spyder service center where i bought my Spyder.
I received back a answer right away, from the owner to get my spyder in, they had a DPS there, they did not have to order it. I was quite surprised that they had it available.
I brought it in the very next day that they were open they installed it plus a drip rail for my Trailer, both were under warranty, and they had them both.
I was very happy about that
hyea:
BUT, When i rode the Spyder, granted it was only for about 5 miles, but those were the most enjoyable 5 miles I have had on my spyder.
That is why my spyder only has 2,400 miles I hated to ride it. That was before, i am excited to get back on it and rack up some miles.
What a difference before & After I could not believe the Difference in the ride quality, No more rocking back and forth down the road, and No more over boosted steering, the bike handles much better.
The main problems that hated about the Spyder have been fixed.
Thank You Water World (my Spyder Dealer)

As of today I'm actually on my third DPS unit. I had the recall change back in late September. There was a world of difference in the steering even though I was not having steering issues like many with the original DPS unit.
I took my spyder out today and tested it after receiving it. It appears to be even more responsive than the second unit. Perhaps that is just in my mind. Bottom line is that this DPS unit as well as the second one installed in September made a world of difference.
I want to thank Seminole Power Sports, of Sanford, Florida, for really busting their tails to get my spyder back on the rode. These guys were/are the greatest.

DPS
I am also having DPS problems. Have a 2011 RT-S with 577 miles and it is back in the shop for the 2d time for DPS/limp mode. I hope BRP gets a handle on this, I am ready to get out on the open road. We should all write to BRP and express our concern about this problem.
Good luck to all.

I'll try to answer as best I can. First, I wasn't having any problems with my original DPS. (2010, RT-S) I was quite satisfied with the way my spyder steered.
When BRP had their recall back in I think August or September of 2010, I felt that it would be prudent to have mine changed. Although I had not had any problems with the original, I felt the steering had improved significantly with the change. It was a "better ride".
I have no idea why a new DPS was done in my most recent incident. All I can say is that limp mode came up a couple of times within a weeks time and the "engine" ensignia came on the screen.
My problem was fixed under warranty, but I have yet to receive some kind of "work order sheet" listing just what was done. I will be getting with my dealer to have this. I like to keep a history of what goes on with my vehicles.
