2016 RTS SE6 Rattling sound on start-up only - any suggestions?

[GDoc]

Fellow SpyderLovers Riders. GDoc here, When I start my 2016 Can-Am Spyder RTS SE6, as the Spyder is starting up, I hear this rattling sound coming from under the seat, it sounds like metal banging together for about 5 to 10 seconds, then stops.

Going for a ride, 40 to 50 miles, stopping for lunch and starting up the Spyder this rattling sound doesn't happen again. Seems like when the Spyder sits over night or for days, on start up only then this same rattling sounds happens.

I'm waiting for the rain to stop and then I'm going to pull off body panels and start the Spyder up to see where the rattling sounds is coming from. Sounds like it is just under the body panels.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, ride safe, and watch out for the knuckle head 4 wheelers.

If the sounds more towards the rear of your butt and not forward, it may be your compressor, I believe that bike came with one! Just a shot in the dark. Good luck!

Thanks Mike. Yes it does have one. I'll check the pressure, maybe it's just low, or if it's going out. I have just over 17 k miles on my Spyder. Thanks again. GDoc

Well, when the pump starts going on them sometimes, they will rattle and make noise, but sometimes they just leave the chat room and leave you hanging! If it goes, I would take it out of the loop and go manual fill like a lot of us have, it's a weak link in the chain in my eyes.

Thanks sounds like a solid plan. I haven't had a chance today to take a look. But will do in the next few days. Thanks again Mikey. GDoc
