throttle bodies sticking

[spydershusband]

Stopped by Ride Now in Ocala to pick up a "water management" kit for Sue's new trailer today. While there, we checked with their service department about a problem that has occured three times now. Upon starting, it would idle but there was no throttle response at all and when shifted into 1st there was a rapid ticking. The second time it happened was in Maggie Valley as everyone was leaving the rally site, and another owner heard it and told me he had the throttle bodies replaced as a result of the same symptons. The thrid time it happened we were with a group of Spyders and three other riders said they had experienced the same issue at one time or another. The service writer at Ride Now immediately said "throttle bodies" and hooked it up to the BUDS which confirmed it. 5 to 7 business days and the parts should be in to remedy the problem...and Spydershusband will be allowed to be happy again:clap:!

update

Well the service writer was a bit mistaken. Turns out that was the situation on 2011's but he had us bring it back for an attempt, per BRP, to correct the situation without replacing the throttle bodies. This however did not clear up the situation and replacements have been ordered. Correction will be the same just a few weeks later as the parts have not yet arrived.

If I'm not mistaken, once the throttle body has acted up it needs to be replaced and then after the replacement the upgrade needs to be done to it in order to keep the problem from reoccuring. You might check with your dealer concerning that......
