What is a DPS unit?

[Desert Spyder]

I personally have never seen mine, so I don't know what it looks like nor do I know if its electrical versus mechanical. What is this mysterious device? Does it have any moving parts, magnets, squirrels in a cage? I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of readers who might have the same question but are afraid to ask.

Remove the Frunk, and you will see a kinda square unit, placed roughly in the center of the Bike, in fornt of the engine. that is your DPS.

It contains 2 electrical Squirrels. One to help turn right, the other to help turn left. Due to the current union rules you must have two. A third Squirrel may be needed depending on the individual labors laws of each state. The third squirrel does nothing more than interpet the input of the rider, He then communicates the input to the other squirrels and tells them which way to go. I believe it has been misscommunication between these squirrels that has caused all the DPS issues.

Union rules? In Canada? BRP is private...no union that I'm aware of...and squirrels are rodents...yuck!

Dynamic Power Steering. It is an electrically driven, variable assist, power steering unit. Basically, when the sensors, speed, and rider input call for power assist, an electric motor kicks in to help. The unit is guided mainly by a Steering Angle Sensor and a Steering Torque Sensor, under microprocessor control and programming.

Oh good grief Scotty, thats too many squirrels in the pot. Oh sorry Lamont. I forgot that's a delicacy in yall neck of the woods. Good analogy Tony.

Can the SAS or the STS be giving wrong info to the DPS which for some of us would be SAD or SOL?

And for those ryders who have had their DPS swapped out did they exchange the left and right squirrels (SAS & STS) as well ?

I think my left squirrel died and the third one is in a coma. My :spyder: is in the shop again - recruiting new squirrels...

I think the electric motor 'licks' may be a problem. That's just my opinion; I may be wrong.

I like your explanation; In a analogical sense I think you may be exactly right.nojoke
