what causes the T-MAP sensor to go bad

So my XP threw the 105 code today at the beginning of ride. It would not idle and ran like crap with throttle. Luckily it happen about a mile from camp and I was able to get it back on the trailer.

I have little over 2,000 miles and a little over 100 hours on my XP1000. What causes this sensor to go bad?

I ride in the sand, open desert and maybe a trail ride or two a year. No water or mud riding.

I am just glad it is not an expensive part and a quick fix.
