2022 RT limited throws codes every ride! Anyone else having these issues?

[Kawboy17]

Getting pretty frustrated with this bike. We picked it up in August and drove it home 400 miles with no issues. Next time we took it out the VSS Code came on. We took it to the shop, they said they fixed it, software update and charged battery. Took it home and Limp Mode came on again after leaving shop. Took it back and they had it for a month, they said they opened a ticket with Can Am and did another software update and replaced the battery. Rode it home & it went into Limp Mode 3 times. 3rd time I took a pic of the codes. Anyone else having these issues?

First, since I know it's under warranty, I would start checking grounds. Then I would check all the Can Bus connections - one bent pin on a connection can cause a world of hurt!

Just my .04¢ worth.

I got the C1290 a few times on our new 22 RTL when it started slow, I believe that one is the battery not having enough charge. I am going to have it looked at in the spring. I have heard by the dealer they are known for bad batteries.

I had a bad battery on a 2022 Rt for what it’s worth .

After this winter also have the code thrown and a tough time on startup. Battery was on drip charge all winter. Believe its time for a new battery, just not sure what to get. Perhaps Lithium Ion- but certainly not the $80 Yuasa crap that can be found on Amazon.

I just put a Noco NLP20 (lithium) battery in mine. 600 cranking amps vs 350 on the Yusa.
I searched on Noco's website about the warranty, 5 years with a proof of purchase. Without proof of purchase the warranty starts with the manufactured date which is in the serial number.

Through Noco or an authorized dealer, around 180.00 through ebay 110.00 and up.

I did the 110.00 from ebay.

All of the 2022 and newer Spyders I've seen are being shipped with Chinese batteries, not Yuasa's. Yuasa's are made in the USA and are very dependable. I've changed out Chinese batteries for friends' that haven't gotten 6 months out of them. I have the NOCO Lithium in my 2020RTL and love it.

Have you explored a lemon law case.

I hope you have better luck in cold weather than I did. At 50F it was very slow cranking. Took me several tries. Found out not unusual as batt must warm up. Low voltage into the starter regularly will ruin it. No Li for me as a starter.

Just to follow up, I have had zero issues with my Noco Battery! I'm a happy camper. :cheers:

This ^ is a well known and widely understood concern (altho obviously not as widely as it could be! :rolleyes ) with Li batteries for auto/motorcycle/truck application that has a simple solution - if it's cold, turn your headlights on for a moment or three BEFORE attempting to start!! :lecturef_smilie:

Easy enough to do on our Spyders, even if you don't need to wait for that bloody Warning message! It is simple - walk up to your Spyder, key in hand; insert key and turn ignition on, this will auto-magically also turn on the headlights; put on jacket, helmet, gloves etc whilst standing alongside Spyder that's sitting there with its headlights on, warming up the Li battery; swing leg over Spyder, settle into place, put gloved hands on handlebars and then press the Start button! hyea:

The Spyder sitting there with the ignition and headlights on for anything more than about 10 seconds is ample warm-up time for the battery, unless maybe it's down into single digit temps (°C anyway - I'm not up for doing the °F conversion this morning; besides, most of the Civilized World understands me without it anyway! ) when it might take as much as 15-20 seconds! And with that simple practice, you too can experience the many and varied advantages of using a Li battery without any 'cold start' concers about damaging your Li battery! :thumbup:
