There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

P1120 & P2620 are pointing to the throttle position sensor...
Once the bike doesn't know where your twist grip is pointed; it doesn't know how much fuel to pump in... :shocked:
I had one go in my 2010 RT...

Yeah,that code thingy
Yeah Bob that's how I knew the TPS whanger had lost touch. Last time it was coincident with a TB failure and resultant gnashing of teeth and drain of disposable income. (I guess that's why they call it disposable)
I used MySpyder to decode since I was parked anyway, the Spyderhelp thing will go on the phone next.

Throttle cables?
Tech started on the aforementioned problems and reported that the throttle cable(s) were "banjo tight" preventing, I suppose, the TPS thing from reading what what's going on. Apparently, there is an electromechanical link at the end of the throttle wire and an ETA Electrical throttle Actuator. No one is talking TB replacement yet, but apparently a lot of stuff needs to come off to get at the adjustment. Never heard of such a thing, but if it's a relatively cheap fix, I'll take it.

I strongly suggest you download this app, here's what is says on how to check codes on an RS
Ignition switch on, or engine running press mode button until engine hours shows on display
Press and hold mode button while pushing flash high beams five times within 2 seconds
if no active faults, no codes displayed if active fault, an alphanumeric code will be displayed

what is a TB failure
New here and not up to speed all on the tech talk. What is a TB failure? It sounds both serious and spendy.

TB=Throttlebody
The Throttlebody is where the fuel injectors live and admits air into the engine as well. It is the beginning of the feedback loop between the ECM and the drive by wire throttle control at the LH grip. ECM being the engine management computer. It is an expensive chunk and requires the BRP diagnostics aka B.U.D.S. to fix. In my case, the service writer had mentioned throttle cable, but saw the error of his ways when I mentioned that my machine is fly by wire. One TB clean and recalibrate later, codes are cleared and Pyder runs well. Catch is, they broke my frunk latch and cannot be opened electrically. We shall see how this plays out.

Not a great way to start the day
Well Pandy, after I had what I thought were a couple check engine "hiccups" the bike finally gives up on me this morning on my way to work. I checked the code and got the exact same codes as you. I was reading some of the posts and was dreading a TB replacement. However, after reading your posts I'm hopeful it'll be a cheap fix, considering I'll be doing all the work myself.

Update
Well, the last TB was replaced about 2 months ago, and went just under 800 miles. After some wrangling with BRP (and the dealer) TB#5 is on the way to be replaced at no cost to me. So, should I drop hints about a possibly sticking brake light switch, or faulty cruise engagement? After catching up on some other posts, I discovered that my roadster behaves is a similar manner to others. That is, cruise doesn't engage right away, not all the time, just sometimes. Hmmmm, might be food for BUDS.
