General ryding question

Glad to hear that it was a successful trip! :thumbup:
I don't think that anyone addressed the issue of the bike beeping at you after it's been turned off:
Engage your parking brake, and all will be silent.
The bikes with "ESSIE" transmissions, have an engagement clutch that is free when the engine isn't spinning.
If you parked on an incline with the parking brake off (even in gear!), it would roll away! nojoke

I've been pushing down the parking brake, that's why I don't understand the beeping

I've tried pushing it after I put it to off, before, I turn it to off, it still beeps! Eventually the bike will stop beeping, but I wish I knew how to stop it in the first place

Thanks, Bob!

The RTs have a light in the display to show that the parking brake has been engaged.
Does your bike have one?
(I would bet that it does... )
Perhaps it needs some adjustment of some sort, to help it "get into the game" a bit easier.

I figured it would, but I didn't notice anything lighting up and we were looking. I'll go out back and look in the manual. It's time to clean it off anyway.

Okay. Figured it out. I was holding the button down for the emergency break. You need to tap it quickly and let go. It has stopped beeping at me!

...Looking at an RS manual: I think that it sits in the Analog Tachometer display, right about at where the 5500 rpm level is reached... :thumbup:

We are on Long Island, but the Spyder is at our other house in PA that we go to often. If you are ever in the Lancaster area, let me know. We will be in PA for the summer.
