2012 RT shutting down up-date

[Warlock]

I had posted a while back about my wife Spyder shutting down. Well yesterday I found out that her kill switch isn't working. Bike has a little over 1300 miles on it. Don't know if this is the problem or not but could be related. Going to call dealership tomorrow to set up a appointment. I know it hasn't shutdown in a while. I never use one, but I think it needs to work just in case she needs it.

I need my kill switch replaced also but because it does NOT turn off my 2012 RT-S :dontknow:

The kill switch on the Spyder works through the DESS (security) module. That could also cause stalling. You need to have a dealer look at it. I suspect the DESS module will have to be replaced.

Had the same problem, the engine would shut off, then refire , sometimes right away or sometimes it took longer and I had to restart it myself. The dealer in Hudson Falls fixed it for me , I was up at Americade. They replaced the kill switch and the wiring down to the main harness and it hasn't shut off since. __But__ now I'am having the same problem with my audio shutting off and on, It sucks when Highway to Hell is playing and your audio shuts off. I might have to ride back to N.Y. to get it fixed.:yes::bowdown:

have your dealer run your vin# theres a maintence check for the fm modulator it may need to be replaced due to corrision or water getting in there.
