RT SE5 question

[Boriken]

Today on my lunch break from work I rode approximately 10 miles when my 2011 RT-S would not shift until it reached 5,000 RPM's and when down shifting automatically or manually it would rev up in such a manner that it would surge forward dramatically that it scared the heck out me. Any idea what could cause this behavior? The RT has 5,755 at this time and I plan on making an appointment for the 6,000 mile check and take care of the problem at the same time. I would like to have an idea as to the cause of the problem to advise the tech as to what to look for. Thanks

I'd make the appointment now.

Are you sure you're not in "trailer mode"?

I'll check that in the morning, Thanks.

I thought trailer mode kicked out every time you shut the Spyder off, and had to be reset?

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

Good to know! BRP listens to owner input very well. That was an often requested improvement.

Did you check for any active error codes yet?? :shocked:

Thanks for the input guys, Lamont was correct The RT was on trailer mode but I can't figure out how it jumped onto trailer mode on its own. I was ryding along as I normally do and everything seem fine, ten miles into the ryde thats when everything started to happen. The RT has never been set to trailer mode before and I do not do any towing for lack of a hitch and/or trailer. After disengaging the trailer mode things appear to be normal once again. I'll try to get it to the shop next week for the 6,000 mile service.

Glad to hear that it's something that is easily found and fixed! :thumbup:
The dang "Button Fairies" must have been tap dancing on your mode and select buttons...

I'm pretty sure my '10 RT-S does this.
