• 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.

    Check engine light/screen - no fault codes

    The check engine warning light/screen is "on" and still no code displayed. That is my conundrum.

    Rollicking thru the Green Mountains and Adirondacks A Ride Report

    May have waved Willie: We may have waved at you as we were in that area as well. Did a 14 day ride from VA to PEI, CAN. Passed through the Green's twice, once up and once back. Only had one day that approached 400 miles. Did 3400 in total. http://skylinebikers.blogspot.com

    Check engine light/screen - no fault codes

    We were 160 miles into a 300 mile ride today when my wife's 2011 RT Limited started displaying the Check Engine light and orange screen. About 10 miles prior we had just filled up with gas. My first instinct was the gas cap had not been replaced properly. I reseated it yet the bike continued...

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    I have not done this yet. I did buy the two hoses ($25 DAMN!) so I will do that probably over the winter once we stop riding for the season

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    FIXED Just thought I would close out this issue. I got the bike from the first dealer we took it to and trailered it to one we have used in the past. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue. It was a broken wave spring that was interfering with the clutch. The clutch was thinking it...

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    Called BRP - useless I called the BRP customer service line and they were completely unhelpful. They said the only thing to do was to tell the dealer to get in touch with BRP Tech Support for assistance. I was told there was no Tech Support for customers.

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    Could be This sounds more like it. The other symptom that is pointing in this direction is that once the bike shuts down the rear wheel is locked in gear. I am guessing a good mechanic would know what to look for if this were the issue? I think I am going to have to take it to another...

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    I just saw Lamont's posting with the customer number for BRP so I am going to call them tomorrow. The bike starts just fine so that's why I was leery of the solenoid replacement. As for trying n 2nd gear, the bike won't even shift beyond 1st before it shuts off.

    RT shuts off after shifting into 1st gear

    I am posting this in both the General and RT forums as I need as many eyeballs on this as I can. We have a 2011 RT Limited. The bike shuts off as soon as you shift into 1st gear. I had it towed to the stealership. First thing they did was replace the battery as it was not holding a charge. Same...

    Shuts down when shifting into 1st gear - DESPERATE

    We have a 2011 RT Limited. The bike shuts off as soon as you shift into 1st gear. I had it towed to the stealership. First thing they did was replace the battery as it was not holding a charge. Same issue. Now they want to replace the starter solenoid values and the shifter lever which will...

    Starting and shifting problem

    Off to the Dealership Tried what I could over the weekend. Checked oil levels (a bit low) and topped off. Charged battery over night. Am able to get it started and it idles right around 1400 so looks like that might be running more normally than we saw previously. The issue now is once I...

    Starting and shifting problem

    Thanks all. With the bike off and in 1st gear it does not roll at all so maybe there is a transmission issue. Looks like I will be taking it to the dealership for service. Which is next to impossible around here this time of year. We will be lucky to get it in before August.

    Starting and shifting problem

    This is the semi auto transmission so with it turned off and in 1st gear how would it be able to roll?

    Starting and shifting problem

    UPDATE UPDATE: I was able to jump start the RT with our car. It ran long enough for it to automatically go into neutral. I was able to push it into the garage. Checked the oil level and was low so I added. Bike started just fine. Shifted into 1st gear and the bike immediately shut off. Now...

    Starting and shifting problem

    Yep I read that but I cannot get it to stay running at the moment so it won't shift. Was hoping there was a way to physically shift it into neutral with the bike not running.

    Starting and shifting problem

    The wife has a 2011 RT Limited. We were out riding last weekend and the bike was idling very high. So high that when she would take her foot off the brake from a stop it would lurch forward. When we got to the house she pulled in the driveway and the bike would not go into reverse and was...

    Running rough?

    I looked up on YouTube on how to access the throttle body on an RT. Do you really have to pull off all the front tupperware just to access those two rubber hoses that folks are telling me to check?

    Strange issue - fast idle and difficult 1st/Reverse gear selection?

    Strange issue - fast idle and difficult 1st/Reverse gear selection?

    Please don't shoot the village idiot...:banghead: Where do I find the throttle body on one of these machines? I'm no mechanic but once you point me in the right direction, I can usually wrench my way around without messing things up too badly.

    Running rough?

    Where do I find these hoses on the bike as my wife's 2011 RT is doing somewhat the same thing. Its running a bit rough and idling real high.
