    Default 2012 RT wont start?

    Here in the Denver, Co. and three day pass without riding and my RT won't start? Was low on gas and garages is on slight incline. Thinking battery wasn't charged enough so plugged it into charger and filled with gas! That was two days ago. She turns over but won't start? Any suggestion or recommendation? #ReallyWanting2Ryde!

    Same thing happen with my 2012 RT last week, I jump started it but it turned out I needed a new battery. (original) After replacing the battery no further problem.

    Could you have flooded it?

    Try holding the throttle wide open, and crank it. That might just clean out the cylinders, and get it to pop!

    Default Agree....

    WOT wide open throttle...crank for 15-20 seconds let starter cool and try normal starting. May take a couple tries but shoud fix the problem... if cranking is not strong (fast) enough you may need that new battery....

    👍🏾 It's an electric start so I do think I could have flooded it. I have never rolled on the throttle to start it. Only pushed the start button and applied the brakes. Thanks for all suggestion. Will try to see if she'll start.
