Spyder DPS Poll

[SpyderWolf]

i never understood why so many reads and few answers. Im assuming it's mutliple views from the same users adding the numbers up too.

I know 10 of the views are mine, checking to see if the numbers have increased any since the last time I checked. I am probably not the only one.

 

[RoadHammer]

me and mc'fly are probably responsible for 50+ views.

Ahh--- didn't know it RE-counted the same person viewing it multiple times.

Oh well... it is what it is....

 

[Firefly]

OK = just for grins lets state items 4 thru 6 are:
...HAD DPS problems and they ARE ASSUMED fixed
nojoke

No problem with that thought process at all. Poll text cannot be changed (for obvious reasons).

the results are probably tallied by Acorn..:yikes:

 

[Firefly]

not enough choices............opcorn:

Can't be changed now...... sorry you feel no need to be counted in this 'unscientific' poll. Guess we'll just always have to add '1 more' in the un-fixed column manually---- no problem as we're obviously going to miss many that ARE 'fixed'.

You're hung up on the semantics of it, which is just silly. You don't consider your Spyder fixed in the sense you won't ride or allow it to be ridden. In general terms you don't consider it fixed. It's really as simple as that.

You forgot to add "Tip the waitstaff and try the veal on Thursdays...." :roflblack:


BTW--- viewing this thread multiple times doesn't increase the views... still stuck at 148... so it would appear there HAS been 148 unique viewers.

 

[Firefly]

In my words-not yours........Listen slowly-

I don't consider it fixed, I don't consider it not fixed. I'll let BRP tell me where it stands, not you.

It really is as simple as that........

Well, it's obvious you would rather nitpick minor semantics than actually participate in a constructive poll that may shed some light on things.

No harm, no foul... but sure seems counter-productive to me.

HDXBones, Do you own or ride a :spyderr just the HOG?hyea:

I have already voted on this poll (Late model 08 SM with DPS problems not fixed) I would like to add another (but of course can't) for a non forum member (08 PE model SM with DPS problems not fixed) Lets not forget that not everyone that owns/has a spyder are forum members so I guess this poll will only give a view of this forums problems or not, fixed or not. Keep this DPS poll open over the next few weeks and see how the numbers change. Spring/Summer just around the corner and more and more spyders coming out of their winter webs.

Yup-- I realize it's only a small sampling... and I left it open-ended....just trying to get some kind of idea of how many--- and what years.

I hope this doesn't jinx my DPS unit...

Can't hurt, Might open a lot of eyes. :2thumbs:

 

[Firefly]

Bump.....

Numbers sure point to 2008 units being more problematic.

Thanks for those voting... hopefully we can get some more data.....:thumbup:

Firefly,

I can't answer your poll because none of the above reflect my situation, yet. Late last year as I posted on here at that time, I thought I had experienced a DPS malfunction. The Spyder began to drift left, as I tried to bring it back from crossing the center line it seemed to not respond. As I put more pressure on the handle bars to get it back it all of a sudden jerked to the right. I took it to my dealer to get it checked out and have the extension hose put on my evap canister. They told me the Spyder was fine because it didn't throw up any codes. I also didn't get the hose on the evap canister because my VIN# wasn't on the list for the update. They delivered my Spyder after the first snow came and I haven't ridden it since.

No problem--- if you're not sure--- don't vote..... thanks! :thumbup:

 

[Firefly]

Isn't their motto-"Vote Early & Vote Often!"?......

Funny you mention that.....considering some of the votes I've seen come in for 'not fixed'.....

 

[Donk45]

After taking my spyder in for the update the first time, I had bad surging and stuff..since then that has been fixed...so my 08 is fixed.

:roflblack:-- close--- but it's actually Russian Lounge singer Edward Hill.....:roflblack:

I like your Original avatar- "It was Nice and Soothing!"nojoke

So far there is only one 2010 Spyder listed.... which is an RT-S model. I would also note that it appears that user had DPS fault codes and not necessarily any steering lockup. Perhaps they can chime in with the details if they see fit.
