I just returned from a 3500 mile trip through OR, ID, CO, WY and MT. I experienced something new while riding the road to the top of Mt. Evans and wanted some input from the experts on this site.
We road to the top of Mt. Evans (14,265') with no issues. On the way back down, my 2015 R1200RT went into shut down mode twice. During this mode, the bike won't make any power and just runs at a fast idle. To reset it, you have to stop, turn off the bike, then restart it.
I'm assuming this was caused by a confusion with the MAP sensor caused by the altitude, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I have an 18K service appointment scheduled for Thursday and plan to bring up this issue as there may be a software update.
Thanks for any input.
