• 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.

We have a 2012 RT put a new garmin gps 660 on with BRP mount, has been working fine , now it comes on with key on motor off, then shuts down when motor is started. It also dose not go to motorcycle mode, fuel range dose not work. Any ideas? Thanks Jim

Can you re-start it after it shuts down......with the engine still running ?

Sounds to me like you are having a problem with the battery IN the 660.

I had a bad battery in my new 590.....but even with a new one, it doesn't last very long off the bike.......and it doesn't charge very fast when in use on the bike either.

Connecting it to an external charger for about 12 hours might help get it going.

Who did the connections? My 660 will have to reboot ,ask to stay on,when I crank the bike
(starting load cuts power to gps) but is in motorcycle mode whenever on that doc.
Fuel range (gauge) is all about settings it does not read info from the bike: you tell it how many miles you can go & set a warning range it will show a red gas pump on RH of screen when you get to the warning level miles. On or off bike.
