Nightmare on Spyder RT Street

[tlb2525]

This past month and a half have been a terrible spring riding season. First, I replaced the throttle body that has been acting up since I bought the bike. It started right up before putting it all back together. While I was at it, with the air box removed, decided to change plugs and wires. All went well, put it back together, ran it down the street. Turning the corner it started running on one cylinder. Turned out to be bad coil pack. Replaced it and ran great until you turned it off and tried to restart it. Just cranked, no spark. Error code P0335, crank position sensor. Replaced that, put it all back together and my fuel and temp gauges where messed up. The fuel gauge pinned itself past full, and the temp gauge read normal operating temp when off. It quickly showed the engine overheating, but the warning light did not come on, didn't go into limp mode. Disconnected the two gauges. Resulting bar graphs work fine. The analogy I use is that of a cancer patient.
After being operated on, other problems just keep on coming on.

It must be all of that new and untested technology that is in your 2020 RT-S...

Sorry to hear that you're having all of these problems...
It WILL get better! :thumbup:

Wow...!!

You are having a string of bad luck...or failing parts. Not much else to go wrong at this point. Do hope it is good to go now and you can get out there and enjoy the ryde...ray:

I have found that this scenario means that I have done something wrong somewhere to cause it. Very easy to put stress on a wire, cause a connector to come loose, cause a ground wire to lose contact, pinch a wire putting it back together, or any other 100s of things to go wrong.
Go back and see if any of those things happened on reassembly.

:agree: This is about the best common sense approach that I've heard of in here! :clap: :firstplace:
