• 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.

    Click Click, will not start! still after 90 days!

    Kudos to Columbia Powersports! As as much as I hate the fact that this "failure to start" problem has kept my 2012 RT ltd in and out of the shop for more than three months, I have to give the people at Columbia PowerSports on Two Notch my thanks for getting me back to being able to depend...

    Click click won't start - problem solved!!!!!tral After new battery, new starter, tightened all grounds, new brake switch and three tows to dealer have begun to leave it in neutral before turning the switch off - the few times I've forgotten and left it in first gear it has started after...

    Won't start after short ride, is it a heat related issue? 90 days and counting!

    Shut down procedure now includes neutral gear selection - live and learn? Every time the Spyder wouldn't start (for me) it was after shutting down in first gear which locked the transmission in first gear, of course. Each time the dealer got the machine they would get it started and probably...

    Won't start after short ride, is it a heat related issue? 90 days and counting!

    Isn't reliable - starter problems Bob, the dealer has done everything Can-Am has suggested and it seems to come back ride after ride, none of them seem to have anything similar going on. Best PLUSS will pay another $200 tow tomorrow - I'll keep calling the tow truck but the dealer has the...

    Won't start after short ride, is it a heat related issue? 90 days and counting!

    New battery, tightened all ground wires, new starter and still it won't start -can't get off it and reliably expect it to start. It stranded me at a Church Parking lot - after almost exactly an hour it started up, drove it home (10 miles) got off it, waited five minutes wouldn't start again...

    Click Click, will not start! still after 90 days!

    Spoke too soon after new starter - would not start after 15 minute ride! Can you believe it - this (my) Spyder is unreliable - what to do? Dealer says bring it back in tomorrow - will call BEST PLUSS again and let them tow it in again.nojoke

    Need help choosing communications system for a couple of 80 year old riders.

    Thanks Ron, wish I could talk with you. I tried off and on to get the wired system to work and couldn't. My dealer was no help whatsoever. I think the real problem lies with CB - had I not had the CB as a factory accessory maybe It would work without CB. If you have a solution that will...

    2012 RT LTD clicks but won't start

    Yes, it does Yes, First time towed they said it was a bad ground at the oil tank - what will they say this time? BEST PLUS pays $200 for every tow, maybe the second time they will find the problem.

    2012 RT LTD clicks but won't start

    Recurring -clicks but won't start- believe it! . Second time BEST PLUSS towed it to dealer! stopped for gas after 75 mile ride - I guess I'll just have to get used to my BEST PLUSS rep!

    2012 RT LTD clicks but won't start

    Up and running just great! :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs: :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs: :2thumbs::2thumbs: Wind in my hair again! Darn - won't start again - called best plus for a tow

    No Start, just clicks!

    Clicking starter same problem with mine - loose ground at the oil tank - check all the ground connections - if you have a Power Probe III - hook it directly to the battery or you'll blow the accessories fuse # 9 in the frunk - the PP-3 will find it for you. Good luck!

    Zumo 660 screen going blank with S/W 5.10

    Well, success short lived, white screen is back but only mounted! Some weeks ago my Garmin 660 started going blank, I thought I had it fixed today when I reloaded the latest map; however, as soon as I put it on my 2012 RT LTD it started the same thing - screen fades out then turns completely...
