    2012 RT SE5 Intermittent DPS Issues

    I've recently begun to have some DPS "issues", but NO codes shown, the 40A fuse is good, the battery is new and the terminal connections are tight. Making it even stranger is that the DPS works fine...

    Thanks! Good suggestion. I've never done an oil change on my bike...always took it to the dealer for a round of annual maintenance. But I'll start changing my own oil and filters next spring. I...

    Absolutely right! The front cable had popped out of the pulley. As soon as I got the panels off, it was plain to see. I loosened up and lubed the REAR cable, then pulled the FRONT cable out enough...

    Yup! I pulled off a couple of the right-side panels, and immediately saw that the cable was NOT on the pulley. I did exactly as you suggested...I loosened up the cable at the REAR pulley, then...
  5. What Panels to Remove on 2012 RT to Expose Parking Brake Cable and Rotor?

    The parking brake on my 2012 RT is not working, and I get the "parking brake fault" message, along with the 20 beeps when I turn the bike off. The parking brake is NOT stuck ON, and I can ride the...

    Got the new battery installed, all the electricals reconnected, and the body panels back in place. The bike starts perfectly. HOWEVER, it seems like I've developed a new issue. I'm getting a...

    That's a pretty long haul! My challenge is that I'd have to have someone follow me to the dealership, and drive me back home...then drive me back to the dealership when the bike was ready. From...

    Good suggestion. I can charge it for 8-12 hours, then check the voltage before installing it. By the way, the "old" battery wasn't installed by me. It was done by a Can Am dealer, so I had no...

    I have a 2012 RT SE5, and if my dealer (40 miles away) refused to work on it, I'd be screwed for sure. The reasons given for NOT working on bikes older than 10 years sound okay, but in my opinion,...

    Got the battery coming in to a store by me...will pick it up on Monday, and if not raining, I'll install it (with the star washers on the posts). I'll hook up my 2Amp charger for a couple of hours,...

    The manual says to remove the rear side panel...but it looks like that requires a couple of other panels to be removed first. Changing the battery on a 2012 RT is a huge pain in the butt...very bad...
  13. Thanks! I'll take a look at the manual, and give...

    Thanks! I'll take a look at the manual, and give that method a try. I'll let you know how that process works out. I'm not concerned about losing radio stations because I never use the radio. LOL ...
  14. Is there an easy way for Battery Removal? How Long can it sit Battery Removed?

    I need to change the battery on my 2012 RT SE5. It's deader than a doornail. I've seen several vids on removing the battery on this model, and they all require the removal of several body panels. ...

    Good suggestions... The padding under the leather is fine, no problems, so I don't need the egg carton stuff. My lambskin covers the seat completely (except for the passenger's back piece). It...

    That's a good solution, but my budget is so tight, it squeaks. LOL

    I have a lambskin cover that fits both rider and passenger areas, but not the vertical part of the passenger seat back. The lambskin is comfortable, and I like it very much. However, it isn't...

    I'm broke...sounds good, but I'm looking much lower. LOL
  19. Thanks, but I just need a slip-on type cover. I...

    Thanks, but I just need a slip-on type cover. I have a lambskin cover that I use most of the time, but I
    'd like something for all weather. :-)

    Sounds great! I'll check the Bass Pro Shop website. Thanks!
  21. Know of any 'slip-on' Seat Covers for RT's?

    The seat on my 2012 RT SE5 is structurally sound, but the "pleather" has cracked, ripped and looks terrible. I have a lambskin cover that I put over the seat when I ride, but it can't be allowed to...

    Could be the front sprocket. I don't have a home-shop or the required tools, so had to take it to the dealer. Turned out to be the front sprocket. They replaced it, and the noise went away...

    I'm thankful for the blessing! I can't even begin to determine why it started easily after refusing to start with the associated issues. I will do that long ride once the weather allows. Maybe a...

    Great info! Thank You! I replaced the two large relays (left and right sides) in the frunk fuse case, and when I tried the key in start position, the needles came back to normal position, and the...

    I checked all the fuses, both in the frunk and under the seat. I pulled each one, examined it, and reseated it firmly. All were okay, and none were burned out. I also pulled relays in the frunk,...

    When I put in the key and turned it to the start position, the needles spun from bottom to top, and stayed there. The center display didn't light up at all. Normally, the needles spin up to top,...

    After unsuccessful efforts to jump start my RT, I think I have either a completely DEAD AS A DOORNAIL battery, or a bad fuse somewhere along the line. With the jumper cables hooked up (with the...

    Good suggestion. I'll give that a try tomorrow. I have some long and thick jumper cables that will reach. I tried jumping it today with a Halo device...12V, 600 amps...and got nothing. I did...
