• 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.

Stalled Twice Today - Need your feedback?

2012 RSS SE5 stalled twice today upon takeoff. N to 1 pull the throttle and unit dies and rolls to a stop. Start it up and works like nothing is wrong. What am I experiencing here?
 
Lots of possibilities. We need a fault code to pin things down further. Bottom line...see your dealer.
 
Teddy is good at fetching things - this is thanks to Scotty

With ignition switch on (or engine running) press MODE button repeatedly until "engine hours" (total hours) shows on display.
Press and hold MODE button while pushing the "flash high beams" button five times within 2 seconds.
If there are no active faults "No Active Fault Code" will be displayed.
If there is an active fault, an alphanumeric code will be displayed. This can be looked up in the shop manual (available on CD) or you can ask on SpyderLovers and someone will look it up for you.
If there is more than one active code, you may press MODE to cycle through them.
 
To read active fault codes:

RS -
1. Turn key on
2. Press "MODE" repeatedly to scroll to "Total Hours" on display
3. Start engine
4. Press and hold "MODE" button while pressing the "Flash High Beam" button rapidly 5 times within 2 seconds
5. Active fault codes will scroll...or "No Active Fault Code" will be displayed. If this doesn't display, the flash button was not pressed five times within two seconds...try again

RT -
1. Turn key on
2. Start engine
3. Press "MODE", "SET", and the turn signal cancel simultaneously.
4. Active fault codes will be displayed. P0000 or a blank indicates no active fault codes.

To retrieve occurred (past) fault codes, the Spyder must be hooked to BUDS. The multifunction display only shows active fault codes.

Please note that no fault codes is a possibility. That would happen if they were not still active, or if the problem were something not monitored. A bad spark plug wire or fouled plug, a a bad centrifugal clutch, would be an example thast would not leave fault codes. That is why your dealer should investigate. Even if you do show a fault code, you are unlikely to be able to fix the problem.

Orrrr... if it does it again; try to pull the codes right then and there... Only active problem areas will show up when you pull the codes.
But seeing the dealer is still probably the best idea; the BUDS will pull all of the stored codes that have happened to the bike.
 
This may be a dumb question but are you shifting to first and then immediately accelerating like you would with a standard...if so try putting leaving it in fisrt for a few seconds before accelerating, just a thought
