Need some help….
I just purchased a 2014 RXT-260 with 59 hours… was taken care of by an older couple. They sold it because they were moving.
I picked it up filled with 11gallons of Rec fuel and added fuel injection cleaner that the owner gave me and would mix in every year.
The first 5-10 min, the unit was not woken up and would not go full speed, would max out around 35. Would keep going quicker the longer it was ridden. But took about 5-10 min to get up to 67MPH
The next weekend for the first 30 min everything was great, running with no problem full speed and all. Then a low battery voltage message came on along with the check engine light. I shut the unit down and it came back on under load. I changed the battery with another older battery that was changed and the same thing happened after 30-45.
The next day I changed the battery again so my wife could ride it for the first time. So i put the unit in Eco mode and 5 min into the ride it bogged down on power and died… no lights or messages.
I towed it back and the unit would only crank but would not start.
I took the unit to a local dealer and they are a month out before they can really get into it… but was able to do a quick check… they first tested the battery and asked to put a new one in…along with spark plugs… and the unit will still only crank will not start.
Any suggestions…. Can the resistor I have read about cause the unit not to start. I believe I have a charging issue but don’t know what is keeping it from starting now.
I have put 2 hours on the unit.
Any and all help is much appreciated and the seller and I are still in-contact …. Trying to figure out what’s wrong and hopefully will make it right.
