• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

motor dies when comming to a stop. 2014 rt any suggests to try till can get to dealer

:shocked: Wow! :shocked:
This one sure made them sweat; didn't it?
I wonder how BRP could send a "corrupted file", to a dealership?
Wouldn't that be about like your Doctor prescribing rat poison to you? :dontknow:
 
30 days in shop and they still don't have a clue. New fuel pump last week now a test for internal valve issues. Cust service no help. Next week if it's not figured out either bad valves. Could mean new engine or if brp keeps dragging. Lemon law could be filed
 
just to keep folks informed bike is still in the shop going on the 6th week.

it is frustrating as no one at dealership or the tech gurus at brp can figure out the problem so Friday they overnighted new coils, plugs and wires and a new wiring harness to the dealer

dealer was instructed to install new plugs wires and coil packs now we had already replaced the same things on one cyln in the second week , told the team leader and customer service manager don't think that will fix the problem alas yesterday afternoon they were installed and no change.

so to finish out their day yesterday the dealer started the process to replace the wiring harness and team leader at brp told me will have an answer from that process by 1pm today.. I hope this is the issue as I have had the discussion with brp about replacing the unit at lemon law in ct is 30 days in shop for same problem as stated going on 6 weeks now.

don't really want to replace the unit with all the custom paint and accessories as if they replaced the unit would have to switch all plastic and accessories cb, chrome etc..

so hoping that there is an electrical issue in the harness as engine is sound with no issues

so here is what has been done

4 spark plugs
4 wires
4 coil packs
fuel pump
main computer
computer resets, hystest valve checks, clyn compression test elec system tests and prob even a colonoscopy :)

the brp folks have been nice and understanding but if this latest stuff doesn't work I believe more drastic measures are going to have to proceed
the good thing is I have direct contact numbers and emails for actual humans that have some decision making authority
 
SO I NOW ALSO HAVE A NEW WIRING HARNESS IN THE BIKE AND IT IS STILL NOT CORRECTED

WAITING FOR BRP TO CALL ME AND GIVE ME AN UPDATE
 
so brp called last night... sending new main harness now shop wont get it till Friday so another week and weekend without bike.. I have to laugh tech manager told me maybe it was my led lights causing the problem.... right on a separate circuit not spliced into any harness of the bike totally separate wiring no switches on bike controlled by keyfob and was the first thing disconnected he then said maybe it was the battery tender hook up seriously.. If a battery tender connected directly to the battery can cause this you have more issues than a battery tender.. also then why was everything just fine for almost 2 years with no issues... anyway new harness will be here Friday.. asked what happens if this doesn't fix it,,, as i have been told 5 times this should fix the problem.. he said would have to likely replace bike... also explained to him that the only thing plugged into the main harness is the can am cb unit...

the saga continues
 
AH THE TECHS ARE FINE.. SO BRP SENT A NEW MAIN HARNESS TO THE SHOP AND THEIR TECH TEAM LEADER CALLED ME.. SHOP EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT INSTALLING HARNESS TIME WISE AS SHOP IS BUSY WHICH I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND TO WHEN BRP CALLED I TOLD THEM ABOUT BARBWIRED INCIDENT SOUNDS THE SAME AS MINE PARTS AND ALL.. SO TOLD THEM WHY DONT THEY CALL THE DEALER THAT DID HIS BIKE GET THE VIN LOOK UP TO SEE IF THEY DIAGNOSED HIS OLD HARNESS TO SEE WHAT PIN OR PINS WERE BAD AND IF THEY DID DEALER COULD JUST REPIN THE BAD ONES AND POSSIBLY FIX WITHOUT INSTALLING HARNESS IF THAT WOULD FIX IT... SO THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT AND IF THEY HAVE TO REPLACE HARNESS

THEY ARE GOING TO SEND SOMEONE FROM BRP FULLY TOOLED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DO THE INSTALL , AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL BE SWAPPING ALL THE PLASTIC AND ACCESSORIES TO A NEW BIKE AS THEY ARE BAFFLED.... THE ONLY THING THAT WONT BE ABLE TO BE TRANSFERED THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE ALIGNMENT AND I WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL MY LED'S OH WELL NEEEDED A WINTER PROJECT


MORE TO COME
 
YOUR ISSUES

Well it certainly appears both BRP and your Dealer have stepped up to the Plate for you ..... good luck .....Mike ...........................PS thanks for keeping us in the loop :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
They do need to do something it has been six weeks. We both want to avoid the lemon law stuff so we shall see what next week brings
 
Wish we had a motorcycle "Lemon Law" here in PA.. I looked into it. They say there is something else they can do. :dontknow: TOM :spyder:
 
purge valve

my 2013rts was acting a lot like yours.i saw on this form that it could be the purge valve.i asked the dealer to check the valve,it was stuck open.he installed a new valve,20,000 miles later and still runs like new.

Not sure if this is your problem, but a lady that was at a recent rally was going through a one cylinder misfiring and after much parts replacements and reflashing they finally found that the injector wiring harness had shorted out on one of the cylinders. Might suggest that they check them. Especially since you were smelling gaas. Good Luck!
 
6 weeks wow
