Transmission problem?

[zmracing]

We have an 08 SE5 with 9000 miles on it. Today I got it out for the first time this season and when I started it a warning saying brake failure was running across the screen. I just figured it was a sending unit or something giving it a false reading as everything worked fine. After a couple of miles I took it back home and washed it and filled it with fuel. After I filled it with fuel and started it a warning comes on that says transmision failure. It will not let me shift it back to neutral and it shuts the engine down when I try to get over about 2000 RPM. Does anyone have any ideas or experiance with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have two separate problems. The brake failure issue can probably be cured by adding a little brake fluid to the brake reservoir. The transmission issue sounds like a Gear Position Sensor failure. The GPS will have to be replaced if that is the case.

Thank you, I figured it was 2 seperate problems. It seems like the bikes have a lot of problems with sensors.
