Recall DPS thoughts... P.S. BRP Does Listen...

Thoughts after DPS change

Keeping with the title of the original post, I picked up my bike last Thursday with the new DPS, and the normal 4000 mile service. I have to say that the steering is quite a bit smoother and it does not take as much effort as it used to; in fact I oversteered the first couple of corners. I realize now that I had to arm wrestle the bike to get it to go where I wanted, but no more.

I don't know if this recall will fix all the steering malaises, but it is certainly an improvement. Time will tell if it was successful. For now, I will thank BRP for addressing this problem.

Chris.

Thank you for posting your experience so far. I like the malaises expression :thumbup: Your "After" explanation seems to go along with what they told me to expect as expressed in post #1...:chat:

How does it do at low speed? I find that my RT is a bear to turn at low speed but the RS is much easier. Neither have had the recall done yet.

Its just easier to turn anyway you look at it. A definite improvement. Watch for the oversteering :yikes: until you get used to it! LOL!!

Keep on posting. :2thumbs: Not everyone is going to agree with you all the time. Some hot button issues get spirited replies very quickly, and people take specific sides. I enjoy reading the back and forth, as it gives more information about the issue or problem. I've had to eat crow a couple times--but I keep coming back for more information. This is a great site for information and opinions.

it is worth a lot

. . . . . So for what it is worth here you go...

Thanks for sharing what you heard, to me, that is what this forum is all about and what you wrote added value to the discussion.

I can understand your reticence to post it though - and I guess your misgivings were proved correct. But I hope it does not stop you if the occasion presents itself again some time in the future.

We all have opinions. [Opinions: They are like the Truth, but unburdened with facts.] Like you, I have had some issues, but nothing is going to stop me from enjoying my experiences riding my Spyder. It has for some, and that feels like a shame to me, but, we all have to do what we think best for ourselves. ( and it helps to avoid those broken records that are more than happy to do our thinking for us )

Thanks again for putting it out there.

Tom

Just tossing a comment in here.. I am very pleased to read of so many happy ryders now with their DPS replacements throughout this forum. Regardless of why or how BRP finally did the right thing for us ryders (Or how they spin it), it is refreshing to know I am getting accurate information on what the parts will do in our hands.

I cannot express how different the ryding experience has become for me and my wife. These bikes are now a blast to ryde and are expanding on our confidence in the bike itself.

NOW we are having fun nojoke:thumbup:hyea::yes::firstplace:
