new slightly frustrated RT rider

[spyder-dude]

Hi
Checked the battery terminals, all OK. Got a charger, charged and after 1/2 hour charger went into maintaining mode, all seems OK. Took the 2CO out again, and when driving in town, CHECK ENGINE !...slow limp mode ride home.
Got trailer, drove to dealer, got the codes out, tech scratched his head, reinstalled software, went for test drive, all seems fine, no clue and back home with spyder on trailer it was
Now...it could be the Big Red was right, old chap! as all CHECK ENGINE and DPS Faults appeared during town riding, not on the freeways and highways maybe.....maybe ...I was riding the brake whilst having some throttle open during town driving start/stops.
Will pay attention to the behaviour of my right foot and the coordination of my right dexterities over the next few days and report back...interesting !

I would put your battery tender on the bike and leave on for overnight.....1/2hr will not do it. I have had battery issues in the past with my 2008 GS and affected starting. After leaving it on for couple of days with the battery tender it fixed it. Just a possible trick for you to try!

Riding the brake can certainly cause limp mode, and has frustrated more riders than just you. The codes should tell a dealer who knows how to interpret what he sees. Pay close attention to that right foot and see if things clear up. It always takes a while to get the feel of a new machine. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you!
