• 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.

Hi,
I have a 2018 RT Spyder, after a 120 mile drive yesterday. Went to get back on and take another ride and it wouldn't start. Turned it on and it flashed "check key" and had a clicking sound in the upper left area of the bike and would not start. We checked the fuses, relays and battery and all seems ok.
Any ideas on what might be happening?

IT also has orange ! on left lower part of screen.

Got it working again--It was a blown position F5 fuse that powered up the ECU. It was hard for the mechanic to detect because it was being back fed from something else. The fuse was hot on both sides. Replaced the fuse now we are on the road again.
The clicking sound was the throttle body.

Check to be sure your battery terminals and grounding points are all tight. The grounding points should be listed in your owner’s manual
 
Bummer.....

The clicking is insuficient battery power from a failing battery or a connection problem. Try a jump start from a car (engine off) and see if you can start it. Now the key issue could be the DESS problem some have been having that does require some parts changed and the dealer can help you with that. If it is the DESS you may not be able to do anything till it is fixed....:thumbup: could be the wrong key....
