• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sunday I want to start my RT . After one second my starter was on I listen a very big noise (CRACK !!!!) inside the engine and this one dont start . I try a second time and nothing ,the starter run but not the engine . I am very disapointed with my spyder .................A so expensive machine with a so poor fiability .
I will put it at the garage and may be sold it .

When my RT was good I was so happy to drive it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I think that BRP for me will be finished ....................No comment.
 
Does not sound like a good way to start off the day. Are you going to take it in to the shop to see what the problem might be? It could be something simple. More details if possible would be good for some of the "experts" to mull over.

First guess is starter shaft or gear failure. That would allow the starter to spin on the second try and could easily account for the noise he heard on his first attempt.
 
:shocked: That does not sound good at all! Is your Spyder still covered under the warranty? If it is; I'd take it to the dealer and demand that they repair it.
Good Luck; please let us know what happens next! :thumbup:
 
yeah the BEAST is back!!!!!!!!!!.
Failure is resolved. Out of fuel just ............. My indicator told me that the tank still contained the precious liquid, but the tank was empty. This is the clutch is turned on which "slammed" and caused my anxiety to engine failure. All's well that ends well.

It took you 10 days to find out you didn't have fuel in the tank?

He I'm not an idiot, may be my English is not good but in my craft aeronautics think we know. it was the gauge inside the tank that sent the message: no gasoline ;dashboard indicator showed a full one-quarter.
it is not easy for us to write in your language and I think if you did in mine I laugh well.:roflblack:

Don't sweat the small stuff. Glad it was something so simple. Hope you continue posting.

I'll bet his French is just as bad, good riding!
 
English challenged or not, perhaps it may have been a good idea to find out or verify what was wrong with your spyder before "dumping on it" (an American slang) and wanting to get rid of it.

Okay here's my gas story. I have owned my RT for over two years. In Aug we headed out for vaca to New England and when we got to the first gas stop I turned the key four times but the seat would not open. I pried up the corner of the seat and got gas in it. I called the closest dealer which happened to be where I bought it. They said bring over and they'll look at it but if they need a part like the cable they wouldn't be able to help. Drove the 18 miles back and the service manager came right out, turned the key and up popped the seat. GAAH! You guessed it, I was turning it the wrong way and had opened the frunk. Red faced we left and went to lunch and no further such incidence on the rest of the 2000 miles.

What a fine resolution to your problem. I too would have thought dire thoughts at hearing loud clunks from my Rt's engine upon trying to start. Got to love the technology of our Can Am's but sometimes it gives us pause! A good scare is sometimes good for us--as I'm sure you know. Take care and enjoy that "flying wedge" as I call mine.

I am glad it was only a fuel problem and not serious....but what caused the CRACK you speak of....any idea why no fuel would cause this noise?
