bike in the shop again

[Rick11Flor]

will here is my story.

will the bike was due for service and some recall issues and some other issues that keep coming up as old that needed attention issues. i made appointment with shop to get it looked at and was going to walk home from there

will the bike didn't want to go,

it had started but the bike shook wildly and then shut off will i recorded the event. then i started it again and drove it out the drive way and shut the gates and the bike cut off again and gave me the orange screen.

so i decided to record again and tried to start the bike again to see what happens will it started but would shut off right away tried this a few times then turned around from the corner of the block and parked it on the street and had it towed to the shop instead.

will that was 4 (four) weeks ago and still no bike. they say it is this then that and don't worry it is under warranty but i say i still have no bike!

First thought came to mind was Throttle Body. Acted just like mine did. I just kept restarting it until it ran smoothly, then used the kill switch for short stops with bike in sight, preventing the compter from having to reboot the TB.

the bike is the lucky 13 and it is the RT

Sorry Rick! Keep us posted! I used that other dealer didn't you? Woods Fun Center?

from your opening statement, seems there were several issues that needed tending to. Not knowing them it's hard to say. Could be bad gas or a bunch of other stuff. The fact the dealer has no results in four weeks is concerning. Perhaps a new one could get you back on the road much sooner....

Obviously a wild guess.

Many have had failure of the small vacuum hoses in the throttle body area. Also, recently, it was posted where the rubber flanges that secure the throttle bodies to the heads had failed by splitting.

Both situations could create crazy vacuum leaks that the engine would not enjoy.

FWIW, the leaks would be most noticed during idle to make the engine act odd and or die.

Profile says 2013 RT.

It should not take four weeks for a dealer to find and fix problems. I would be a little hinky on their abilities.

I had this problem. Your description was close to this. When I had this problem, I had to blip the throttle every now and then to keep from dying.

So it is best to use the kill switch for short trips than to switch it off with the key...Hmmmn didn't know thanks
