Did my guys make it right??

Remember how I said I hate fixin shiat that aint broke...well im bout steamin mad atm...had Clems put the DPS unit in for me for the so called safety recall...rode it home, then back to enumclaw for taco thurs. decided to take a long way home, out by lake tapps it goes into LIMP HOME MODE, VSS FAULT, CHECK DPS, so I pull over and shut it off to try and clear codes, that worked, for .6 of a mile, and every .4-3/4 of a mile all the way home to Kent 30+ times. We will see how the phone call goes they are gonna get from me in the morning. but its looking like I wont be able to make the ride sun.
Ride safe,
Troy

Troy,

I just spoke with the guys in the back and they said they figured out the problem and fixed it. Just wondering if they took care of you and made it right by you? If there is anything else I can do just let me know. It sounded like an internal problem with the new DPS that no one could have forseen, but Randy found it and fixed it right?

Internal defect was found on this new DPS unit. Secure magnet not installed properly from the factory. It had backed out and thus sent imporper readings through out the system causing multiple fault codes. This had been the first such issue we have seen or heard of with these units. Once diagnosed we were able to fix in short order and customer was able to make the ride on Sunday. We now check all new DPS units for this possible condition before install.

HUGE SUCCESS!!

Thank you to everyone who showed up and rode. Glad to see you could make it Troy. It was the best ride to date for our shop. I think we had 11 spyders and 32 total riders. We are already planning next years ride. It is tentatively scheduled for the 3rd weekend in August. I will have pics up by this afternoon.
