Ryker 600 shuts off while idle

[bb12489]

After riding, then leaving the Ryker idle in my driveway, the radiator fans kick on after a few mins. Then some loud beeps occur with the digital gauge displaying the word "STOP". Then the bike shuts down. At the time this happened, the temp gauge showed normal, and no other lights were illuminated. I also can't find any reference to this in the manual.

Could this be heat related? The radiator is clear of any debris, and I've recently washed the bike.

The bike is programmed to automatically shut off after a certain idle time.

It's programmed to shut down after 3 minutes of just idling.

Wow .. how is that gonna workout for the rider at a long traffic signal?

I would think if you burped the gas it would see that there's some one on there and not shut off!

 

[poli]

You're correct.

I rode in stop and go traffic for 3 hours (its the norm around NY and NJ) mine shut off same way OP describe. Not knowing what was happening got bit nerves fortunately it starts right back up without hesitation. On the next round I learn that if you move just little it won't shut off at all.

Will be at idle with brake on showing rider present & not be a problem, if u find a light that long. Stuck at a train however :sour:& you apply parking brake to relax your foot:dontknow::dontknow: probably a cooling issue & preventative programming for nanny. Sorry not very knowledgeable about the CVT abilitys & limits yet. :thumbup:
