    Default New to me RTS kinda freaked out ????

    So picked up the new to me bike Saturday 2015 RTS. Had just came home with the spousal unit and came inside. Went outside to park it started it up and saw a pic of the bike in orange in the bottom of the screen, Said rear cargo door was open and wouldn't let me go into gear. Air suspensions started raising and lowering like it had a mind of its own. So I turned it off and verified the rear trunk was closed, ( opened and closed it again ) turned key to on and no faults or prompts and started up shifted into reverse no problem. Did the comp just have a brain fart ? Has anyone had this problem and should I have any concern?
    Thanks

    saw the open cargo box earlier no problem as it was running, closed box and off i went. This showed the bike on the bottom of screen. The freaky part was when the air suspension started raising and lowering with a mind of its own. Just went out and started it again no problem. May be a hiccup, maybe 2 many inputs with the cargo open earlier and trying to get it into reverse at same time .....

    Read the operator's guide and see what it says, if anything, about the situation. If you don't have one you can download it here: http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/I...adster&type=og.

    Interesting that the air suspension moved.

    On our '17 RT-S, the engine has to be running, the transmission has to be in gear and the parking brake has to be off before the suspension will react to inputs from the switch.
