First time to get Limp Mode.....later same day got DPS message WTH?

[Flight Risk]

I was riding with a small group on Saturday. Two of the bikes were older Harleys. Both guys came to a grinding stop because they didn't switch over to reserve. Long story short, another rider just stopped next to him apparently forgetting I was behind. I had to lay on my brake. After the Harley gets going again, within minutes I get my first Limp Mode. I pulled off, removed the key walked away for a while pondering if I could have had a tiny bit of throttle going?!? The bike starts up and I find the group. We stopped long enough for lunch, maybe 45 minutes or so.

We saddle back up and about 15 minutes or so later, the dreaded orange shows up saying DPS.
Two codes I've never had, I get in one day!!

Thankfully I finished the 300mile ride with no further problems! Will call the dealer tomorrow, but what tha :cus: ???

I don't know what year spyder you have but there was a recall on DPS sensors. Dealer might have to replace, update BUDs and realign steering, yaw sensors, etc. Im guessing though.. What codes were displayed?

Another possibility is after the hard braking, the floaters in the rear brake fluid res. Detected low fluid in error due the shifting of fluid forward. That happened to me once.

Just brainstorming..

Thanks for the replies. My bike is a 2011 RTS SE5, in my signature.
