 09 SE5 stuck in 1st gear
Yesterday I could not get bike out of 1st gear until I pulled the two main fuse up front and waited a while. Now I notice it take at least 2 to 3 time to go from 1st to into neutral, am I looking at a problem down the road and why did/is it dong this any idea what might be the cause.

Did U have the ground wire update?. Some had problems wit GPS or Gear Position Sensor. Have it checked by your dealer

Yes did the ground wire and when I had my first services I convince them to change the GPS sensor now I wonder if they really did.

Mine did the same thing and it was in the shop for 5 weeks.

Do you have a different dealer you could take it to? They should be able to tell you if the GPS was really replaced or not. Either way, it sounds like you may need a new one.
Best of luck with getting it fixed quickly.

So is the Spyder stranded on your trailer then? 
Sorry bro.... couldn't resist. Hope you get her back on the road soon.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Thanks Firefly, after I pulled the two main fuse it then went into neutral again and is running now but as I said sometime going from 1st to neutral it takes 2 to 3 time hitting the shift button and this never happen before.

I've noticed, occasionally, if I leave my SE5 sitting for a while (several weeks) unused, that shifting from 1st to neutral can take a few tries... then as I ride it for a short time the problem goes away. I also have found that, when this has happened, shifting from 1st to reverse does work and this then allows me to go into neutral immediately from reverse.

I'm betting on the GPS being suspect. It can be very sensitive at times such as if you should happen to rock the spyder while its trying to go into or out of rev., neut., or first. That manuever has caused mine to go into error, not start and or run bad and stall, then error again.
