Re: Red battery warning light

Took the bike to the dealer and problem ended up being a bad ground module (the end of the Canbus system). $1,000 later and I’m riding again.

Re: Acts like a dead battery but isn't

No, my bike starts and runs without issue. The problem I have is with warning lights and headlight/turn signals not coming on.

Re: Acts like a dead battery but isn't

Well, my bikes issue is not the battery. New battery installed and the issue remains. I’ll be calling the dealer tomorrow.

Re: Acts like a dead battery but isn't

Strange things happen if a battery isn’t quite right. Could be low amps with adequate voltage or a cell that is falling off. I’m waiting on a new battery to arrive today. I have multiple problems with a red warning triangle and a red battery showing on the dash. My battery is two years old, voltage ...

Re: Red battery warning light

I replaced the two fuses and the 50 amp fuse has continuity but no power shows going through it when bike is running.

Red battery warning light

Very confused. I checked battery voltage at rest, under load and charging system output. All check out ok. Bike starts and runs fine, but I noticed no headlight coming on and low fuel light is on although tank is full. The two fuses under the seat are good.

Windshield automated down switch

Has anyone disabled the automated function of the windshield when the bike is turned off and back on? I prefer to leave the windshield in position even though it returns to the last position when the bike is started.

Antenna Chop

I’m not a fan of the front end looks with the long antenna. After checking reception with the OEM antenna I cut it to 6” long from the base of the antenna and placed the rubber cover back onto the antenna. Surprisingly on my ride today the reception is better (FM) with the shorter antenna.

Newbie with a History

Hello from Tulsa, OK. I have a new to me 2016 RT. I’ve been riding RT’s since 2004, with a couple of GS’s, a couple of FJR’s, an ST1300, a G310GS and various dirt bikes. My previous RT’s were all oilheads so this is a welcome step up. I’ve covered a lot of territory on my previous bikes even venturi...
