two recalls for the 2010 / 2011 DPS systems-
MY 2010 Outlander and Renegade ATV models equiped... | Can-Am USA
MY 2010-2011 Outlander and Renegade ATV models... | Can-Am USA
it would appear that my dps was shorting out causing it to pull to the right (not left)
mentioned in the first recall. The second recall issue was performed before I bought it.

I have no doubt my dealer is ripping me off on service fees, but the next closest Can Am dealer is 104 miles away. Part of the money they charged me on the 2010 Renegade was $22 they charged to reset the "SERVICE REQUIRED" display on the dash. I think its kind of rediculous to charge money to reset that dash display. Its even more rediculous for Can Am not to have a way for the owner to reset it.
My 2012 Outlander is going to be sold after I get it back from the shop with a new power steering unit. I never have really liked that ATV; it is too expensive, too big, too heavy, too tall, too tippy, doesn't handle well, and is a major pain in the *** to work on. Everything is covered in plastic with the new G2 Outlanders, and the plastic is hard to remove to work on the ATV. It is by far the most difficult to work on ATV I've ever owned, and it is unreliable. It only has 250 miles on it and it needs a $1500 repair. It goes out of warranty in two months, so it is being sold. Plus, the Outlander 1000 is really just a spare ATV for me. My main ATV is the Renegade 1000 (that has a three year warranty), and the Renegade 800 is my wife's ATV. The Outlander is for my kid to ride if he goes with us, or for the brother in law, or a guest to ride. A spare ATV doesn't need to be as big and powerful as an Outlander 1000, but it should be reliable and not cost me more money every time its used. I'm working a deal with the local Yamaha dealer to trade it on a 2013 Grizzly 700. The dealer is still working on a price for me, so we'll see how it goes.

For reference I'v got almost 2800 miles on my 2012 700 Grizzly with no power steering problems infact I'v had no problems at all
I'll do 4000 miles this year easy

getting back to the topic-
I started this thread over at can-am and have 13 can-am's with dps issues so far.
pretty amazing.
can-am dealers must be getting slammed with this issue.
I'm starting to think one of the reasons why can-am gave me a 2 year BEST warranty for free when I bought my outty was because of known issues with these dps systems
still- if that's the case, at least they are taking care of business-

called the dealer today... said the motor never arrived in last weeks shipment.
still waiting for the dps motor from the factory
will be 3 weeks on thursday.
the service dept manager feels bad- said he doesn't understand what the hold up is.
I'm wondering how backed up can-am must be with failing dps motors if it's taking over 3 weeks to send a flipping dps motor a few states over for a warranty issue
-
poll is at 20 so far over at the can-am site
wonder how long before they issue a 3rd dps recall for the 2010 / 2011 dps motors- this time for overheating issues......?

Well, golly JimBob!

Not much wildlife out. Some summer colored snowshoe hares, one moose, one deer, fisher cat, and a bunch of blue heron.
Taught some young guys how to ride and they caught on well. Wish I could just go up there and stay someday.

I've owned both a 2010 Can Am 800XT Max and now the 2012 Outlander 1000XT, and knock on wood, never had an issue with the DPS. The only issue I have had on the 1000 was a sticky brake switch that was covered under warrantee, and a rattling exhaust heat shield, which I think I fixed over the weekend.
