2010 hot starts

[rock]

i am having trouble with starting our 2010 rts when it is hot,,am now hearing there is a fix to this problem..is this true and is it covered under the service warranty???? the problem is not in starting but in keeping it running , it acts like it is flooded and will shut off..i have to throttle it for a few seconds and then it settles down.

The fix is buy a 2011 nojoke

Lamont is right, there is no cure for the 2010s. Here is the work-around to follow when this happens.

1. Try starting normally. If the Spyder cranks excessively...
2. Crack the throttle and try again. If the Spyder still doesn't start readily...
3. Hold the throttle wide open to initiate flooded start procedure. The Spyder will not start at WOT. Crank it through a few times to clear the cylinders, then try a normal start.
If the Spyder still fails to start try Step 2 again. I never had to go beyond this with my 2010.

Hot Starts

The wifes 2010 RT-S had the same issue. They replaced everything on the bike for the fuel management system one piece at a time to see what the cure is. It finally turned out to be a malfunctioning DESS module. We needed to have the keys re-coded once the module was replaced and so far no more issues. Hope it helps.
