Rushmore head unit possible sound fix
Now I've only had my RGS for about 2 weeks, but I've upgraded the speakers, added an amp and had it flashed. But I still can notice how much different sounding the bike is when I simply turn the engine off when I stop. So my question for the others out there, what is informing the head unit that the engine is running or not running? I would imagine it has to be an extra wire going into the headunit. Would finding this wire and disconnecting it or somehow trick it to thinking the engine is off therefor fix the audio issues? Just throwing this out there as I don't have the manual for my bike to go over the wiring.

I've often thought of that same thing. There are 4 CAN wires going to the head unit... CAN+, CAN-, AUX CAN+, AUX CAN-. One or more of those must be telling the head unit the engine is running.
Solve that & life will be good.
Another thing I've pondered is making a copy of the ###.OFF file and renaming it ###.ON, so the head unit would still switch files, but to the same file. I've actually tried this but the bike said invalid file or something like that when I tried to load the new flash. There is some kind of checksum or something the bike is seeing causing it to fail.
