I recently had my RS in for it's 6000 mile scheduled maintenance. In the past when riding the temp gauge would read 3 bars on the road and 4 in town in traffic. After the service it went up to 4 bars within a mile of the dealership. I rode it for another day while keeping an eye on the temp. It would read 4 in highway driving and 5 or 6 bars in town. Mind you this took place when the temps were 35 outside or 65, didn't matter. I took it back to the dealer and they kept it for two days and couldn't figure it out. Finally they called BRP and were told this was normal and was a part of the computer update that was done with the 6000 service. They also said it was okay to ride with 5 or more bars, even 7 or 8. They said I should pull it over when the instrument panel started flashing. Okay, but I would like a little warning first. In any case the dealer said they did in fact do a computer update and they bought the BRP story. I have put a few hundred miles on it since and the temps stay at 4 bars highway and 5 in town. The temps have been 50 to 70 outside. I am okay with this but I wonder what it's going to be like this summer when we have temps in the 90's? Wait and see I guess. David
