Steering Problem

[IdleUp]

Took the old Spyder for a ride yesterday and noticed on three different time it felt like the power steering quit working for a moment - after I finally jerked it to stay on the road it seems to wok fine. Almost feels like the tire was in a groove.

Anyone else having this problem? it was fine last Fall!

Yup - many of us have had steering lock from DPS failure.

Mine was due to a failed gear position sensor that BRP has upgraded. Go into your dealer and have them perform this warranty update right away.

Yes. Four times for me.
1) Changed the power steering unit
2) tightened a ground wire
3) changed gear position sensor
4) changed power steering unit.

As much as I love this bike if it happens again its a gonner.

Search the threads Gear Position Sensor and you will find lots of wonderful info. I had mine replaced and it works great.
