Got my Spyder back today. Here is the verdict. One of the fuses that goes to the ECM was blown. They believe that maybe the existing firmware did it somehow. I don't know.

They also found a few...

You are probably right, but I was thinking it might be conceivable that the charging system may not be enough to overcome the drain by a leaky amp or something like that.

If I were to tell them...

Joel, was this drain with the bike off also?

Tom

Thanks, Joel... I'll pass that along.

Tom

Further update if anyone is interested:

After about a week, the dealer with the help of BRP found there was an ECM fuse that was blown. Since it was still working, sort of, maybe there is more...

Update; Dealer loaded new firmware due to many codes. Didn't fix it.

Not sure if the initial problem is gone, but was told that it still shuts off when started at about 1200 RPM. I had that...

Well, got the Spyder taken to the dealer... had to push it onto the trailer. not the easiest.

They won't be able to look at it till tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be simple and I can go for a...

Thanks admin for improving my subject line. It needed it.

My battery is out of warranty. I was told 6 months. Expired in March. I'll would be happy to buy a new battery if I can get it on the...

This Spring, I rode the S2S for about 500 miles or so, then it got cold, so I parked it. Later I moved it into my garage, put it in neutral and moved it around by hand, shut it off.

Yesterday, I...

I just put on Baker hand wings on my Wife's F3T. Had to drill 3 holes per side, but they weren't hard. Came with templates, made it easy.

I did have an issue with the instructions. After drilling...

After 10's of thousands of miles on bikes and now Spyders, it always worked out best for me to lead and her to follow. She goes her speed and I adjust speed as needed. I do spend a lot of time...

And how did that work?

Tom

My Mother died from A. I'm probably prone to get it, so anything related is of interest to me.

On a side note as mentioned above... There are doctors that have been looking at existing drugs to...

After my 2nd Goldwing, I switched to a blue ST1300. Loved that bike, but it was pretty hot to drive. My wife had an first year FJR at the time and it was scalding hot. You could burn your hand on...

Stupid is as stupid does.

I went to install some foam grips and didn't think I needed to take off the handlebar ends. Big mistake.

It stretched out the foam too much with the air nozzle, it...

Good question, hope not.

In the future, I might just use the air like I've always done. Just in case.

Tom

I will check mine, thanks for the heads up.

Tip on the foam grips. Put hand sanitizer inside the foam, then get it started on the grip. Then I use an air compressor with nozzle and just circle...

One of our must visits is Lee Street Diner in Deadwood. Green chili breakfast burrito is GREAT!

Tom

Where are you at dr2152, I'm over in Laurie?

You didn't by chance get the blue F3 Limited?

If they had that price on the S2S, I would have bought it a couple of months ago, but they wouldn't...

FYI, that may already include the $500 rebate.

Tom

Yeh, people keep moving here ( like I did, :-) ) and it is getting busier.

Here is a link to it:

I just saw one in Osage Beach, MO on the showroom. Said they were ready to make a deal on one.

Tom

PS. I love St. George!

Ok, so does a long press do other things in there at other times?

I don't know if I would have ever got that one. Maybe by accident.

BTW, do these joystick buttons, cruise, and the ones on...

I do like that angle Jetfixer. I wonder about the height compared to the stock F3 bars.

Tom

Played with getting the BRP Go app setup.

I'm a tech guy and it was a pretty bad.

AFAIK, there is no back button that I could find to get out of a menu option.

I'll use my phone on a...

I live just North East of you, ARtraveler, in Lake of the Ozarks. Left Northern Iowa last year. Riding weather should be pretty much as you described here also. We found housing cheaper than where...

Good to know that is possible Quickdraw. I may have to do both.

BTW, I'm 5'10", but sit pretty high in the saddle. I usually have to buy a new windshield with every motorcycle I buy due to...

I should have checked out ebay when mine didn't ship, although the status was processing from the first week, just nothing happened and then they were here.

Thanks for the reminder.

Tom

Just got my F3 bars that have been on order for more than a month. Got them on with no issues, maybe 20 minutes.

Wow, what a difference in handling and feel. I only took it for a short ride,...

Saw a Red Spyder on "O" road near Laurie, MO today. Second time I have seen it.
