We're all VERY curious about how this whole saga is going to play out... Good Luck! :thumbup:

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.

You would think that BRP would be just as curious as the rest of us and bring this RT home and try and find the problem. It appears to be a QC issue, now does it stem from BRP/Dealer. "5 days after purchase. needs Batt..Tender.. WTH, 1st red flag right there. What I don't understand is why the computer/computers keeping whining for 1/2 hr or so after power is turned off.
A battery disconnect would eleviate any draw when off, but would it cause an issue with Nanny Diagnostics or whatever is taking place while it is off.
IMHO, BRP nailed it with the 08/09's, but when they opened the can of worms on the 2010RT, Problems spead like a plague, after they created and updated to 2011 this wonderful info was passed down and you see what happened TB's crashed like no tomorrow and so-on. "Some things are just not meant to be "High-Tech".
GoodLuck. I agrre with many on your "Cool-Headed" approach.I Would;ve lost it when the BT was bought:banghead:..

It sounds like you have a significant parasitic drain on your battery. If this were my bike I would connect a multimeter with an ammeter function in series with the positive battery terminal and measure the current drain with the key off. If it's 10-30 milliamps this would be normal. 30-35 milliamps would be the top end and could cause battery problems, and anything over 35 milliamps is not acceptable.
If this were the case I would then watch the ammeter while I pulled the fuses one by one to try to isolate the circuit where the problem was.

Many thanks to all of the suggestions for resolving the issues on my 2010 RTS. Tomorrow, she goes back to the dealer for troubleshooting and repairs. I will have to say that when the spyder was functioning properly, it was a lot of fun to ride and took me many places that my sportbike cant. Stay tuned.....Same Bat time, Same Bat Channel.

If they have a good spark chaser and allow him the time needed to shoot the problem. He'll find it.

You may want to try an old trick we used on boats. Disconnect you negative battery cable connect test light to battery, connect other end of test light to negative cable. If there is a draw test light will light dim if it lights up disconnet one thing at a time until light goest out, when it goes out you found a draw it that circuit. Hope this helps.

My Brother-In-Law is in the Navy and he said he could fix your problem... He just needed the address of you dealership. I was sure you wouldn't mind.
He didn't say what he was going to do... Guess he's going to make a phone call or something.
He said to tell you not to worry about your Spyder anymore.... Everything will be taken care of shortly... :yikes:
Please! Don't thank me! Just a good buddy lending a helping hand. Afterall, what are friends for! :thumbup:
Oh, and my B-I-L said you might want to look for a new dealership... Great guy but he says that strangest things... :dontknow:

That was great, Thank You Ron
Is he accurate? I live real close to the dealership. Maybe time to go to the mountains. LOL

Doc, they have 3RTS, 2RSS and 1 RS right outside the waiting room. I have been sitting on all of them. HMMMMM, auto-shift sounds good.

Electrical gremlins can be tough. They are very good at hiding from the tech and coming out as soon as you leave the shop. Here is what I'm afraid of. You sell it, taking a beating as you say, the guy takes it somewhere, they find the $3.00 gremlin and he's sailing home free! I've seen it happen!
You endure the misery, he reaps the benefits.
Again, here's hoping you get that sucker this time. We're all rooting for the good guys to win this one!
BINGO on that.... i gave my son-in-law my SEARS lawn tractor, because after ten years, it would nolonger start - DEAD AS ROAD KILL, as they say... i went out and bought a new JOHN DEERE, and my son-in-law comes back to me and said he found a burnt our fuse, replaced it for $0.40 and it runs like new.... i crawled all over that thing and never saw a fuse, but i guess my lose is his gain...
