Burhead, give us an update!

 

[BRPcare]

Sent you a PM this morning Burhead. Feel free to get back in touch with me for assistance.

I just hate it when somebody posts a problem here and they don't ever post what the fix was or that they never post again.:banghead::banghead: A lot of people tried to come to your rescue with possible solutions to a fix. You could at least give us an update or something. Reminds me of the sheep herder that cried Wolf. That is truly a Bur head!!!!

It is nice and a BIG help to others if those who had issues post what solved the issue. That's how we all learn. :doorag:

Lost in Margaritaville. Blew out a flip flop, cut his heel and had to cruise home.

NOW you went and did it...

If limp mode still comes on after taking the key out you could try putting the key in and turning it off and on 3 times. Don't start the engine just wait for the start message then turn the key off and on 3 times. That may reset your computer. If not check for codes again. If they are still there they are active and you will need service.

Limp mode limits the rpm so you will want to up shift as soon as you can. The good thing is the speed limit isn't very high in the Jeys and it is flat there.

This is a good tip Ann. I've done this many times and it hasn't failed. I contribute it to one of the computers onboard having a brain fart. If the fault returns then you know something is definitely amiss.

Give them a bit of a chance guys... Who knows what their situation has turned into? Might have gotten the bike to Miami only to find out the part needed is a week away! I know if something like that happened to me I'd rather be stuck in the Keys and not Miami! I also would probably bury my head in the sand and not go whinging on a forum.
Hopefully we will all hear a happy ending soon

My AMA membership includes roadside assistance. If you have that, give them a call. I'm not sure about the towing benefit.

With AAA you must have the "Plus Motorcycle" coverage. Standard and plus coverage do not cover motorcycles. The motorcycle add on is about $35.00 over and above whatever other coverage you have.

Brainlock on my part. The post I was replying to stated "AMA" - not "AAA." My bad.

Might be walking :yikes:

Is a long walk back to Colorado.

Really!!!!

Ingrate??? Seriously?? The guy could have a dozen different reasons right now to not be able to respond and you guys call him an ingrate. I certainly hope that was in jest. If it wasn't it's no surprise people dont feel comfortable on this forum and with some of the members. Wow.

 

[Bob Denman]

Maybe he was just having a bad day; it can happen to anyone...

 

[finless]

And now the post has gone where no man has gone before... Well as many posts have gone before... Into "banter" land!

If the shoe fits wear it, if not throw it away! It has been quite a while and no reply. I have seen this happen before on this site. People go to great lengths to help, spend time looking up info and never a reply from the person who is in a panic and wants immediate HELP. In my book that's Ingrate. I did not call anyone an ingrate but threw it out there for thought. Read my post again.
Mike, (BlueKnight) in a previous post said it better than I. The nature of most is very lazy. First little problem they jump on here and Holler Wolf. I Suggest reading the manual, calling BRP, call the nearest Spyder Dealer, and for God Sake remember you have a new warranty that provides towing. If you have done your own due diligence then get on here for help but after you have done the above.

Make an honest effort to educate and solve your own problems first before getting everyone to do it for you. That's not asking too much is it?
