What is the high pitched whine I hear when I turn off our RT after riding?

[Robertsepolen]

I assume some thing electrical is charging?

Sounds like the cry of jealous two wheel owners (lol)...... the electric radiator fan

It's normal, darn, just had a brain:cus: but it has something to do with the throttle body. It could continue for around 40 minutes. Someone else will chime in and fill in the rest of the answer. It could be the fan, but the fan will shut off after a minute or two. Dale

On the 2011 and later RTs, the ECM holds the throttle plates closed for 40 minutes after turning off the key, to prevent hot restart issues.

:agree: Your Spyder is just doing it's after-ride routine before turning off the lights and locking the doors. :thumbup:

 

[Huntindawg1962]

yup- normal. I have two that sing to me when we come in from a ride. There is an insert in the owners manual that tells that this will happen.

[Robertsepolen]

[Bob Denman]

It was normal... but we sure ain't! :thumbup:

 

[Huntindawg1962]

I don't know about your machines but if I forget to roll up the window at the end of a ride it will keep the air conditioning unit running too.....:yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

[shelbydave]

With the magic fingers option, you gotta be careful not to lean too far forward...
You could turn this...:doorag: into this...:shocked: or maybe this...:yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

CAUTION: Consult your proctologist before leaning forward...
How'd you like to see that warning sticker on your new seat? :roflblack:
Now... Head to the left, and cough...

I thought the rear seat was supposed to carry the magic fingers unit... :yikes:
