    Default new 2019 RT Limited won't turn over

    Howdy,
    Brought my new ride home this past Saturday. Ran fine at the dealership and drove it onto a trailer. Got home, it fired right up and backed it into the garage. It's been pretty cold here in Colorado since. Went out to 'play' some and my new RT will not even initialize the screens - get a lot of odd colored lines. Measured the battery charge at 13.15 volts. Called the dealer and they thought it might just be the cold temps (?). Any help anyone? Oh- the bike is in neutral and the parking brake on and my foot on the brake. Help appreciated!

    It isn't the cold temps. I have started my wife's old F3S in -10C without any issues. Sounds like a pouched battery.

    Thank you GKamer - all I can say is - new toys and old boys.

    Just for others info - I put the kill switch to ON and then had to start it for the screen to initialize after I turned it off and back on (waiting like 30 seconds).

    Back to being happy again - can't wait for nice day - thanks again Sir.
