Sounded like gear position switch wire loose, then all the messing around drained the battery...or killed it.

Ok guys, got a new battery and nothing has changed. I ruled out fuel and spark so that leaves air which means the throttle bodies or something related to the throttle bodies. They were never changed by the way. I did notice that when I shifted into first with the air box removed, the throttle bodies would move up a little and then crash, the engine dies. So off the to the dealer in conroe tomorrow.

Ok guys here is an update from dealer. The centrifuge clutch went out, which is why when the bike is off the ground the rear wheel spins and you can shift through the gears. When the bike is back on the ground, the weight of the bike stalls the engine. Had anyone ever heard of this on a SE5?
I have BEST extended warranty so do you think the part and labor will be covered?

Good to know..!!
makes sense but strange it would go out just when you had it in the air... you can shift the manual clutch units without the clutch if in the air and rolling. Glad they found the problem and you let us know...

I half to admit, I would have never guessed.

If the service is covered under warranty, which I would think it is, your labor and everything is included. $50 deductible is all you should have to pay.

Mileage on the bike is about 33k. The oil I used had been BRP brand and used Amsoil a few times. Amsoil was too pricey so I reverted back to BRP
-
Is it possible that nanny is stopping you from starting if you have your spyder off the ground.
-
No. Because the thing starts and runs fine off the ground. I ran through the gears while it was jacked up. The centrifuge clutch is probably my problem, don't know how though because I shift between 4-5k rpms and and the shifting is just a push of a button. It will be at the dealer for at least a week, maximum 2.
-
Update, it's been a week and half, and the dealer is waiting on the warranty company to verify if the centrifuge clutch is covered. On another note pro power sports of Conroe has a horrible staff in service. I have to call them to get information on my vehicle and most times they wouldn't answer or call back. Just horrible

Keep hanging in there!!
Good Luck!!

ok guys i got the spyder back just in time for memorial day and the tech showed me the centrifugal clutch and he said that BRP upgraded the part. he said something to do with the bearings wearing out prematurely, so the new part is much more durable. Also he told me that every 8 -10 months i should bring it in so that it can be hooked up to BUDS to get any updates from BRP. Sounds like a windows operating system just on wheels for these updates although not as frequent as M.S does.
He also said that 2 other spyders came in with the same problem. I don't know what the mileage was on those spyders but at least I'm not the one with the problem.
he also mentioned that, the shifts needs to be between 4300 and 6000 due to the new bearings and when they make contact to move the bike. Sounds very similar to the "Do's and Don'ts" thread which i read as a refresher.
See yall on the road!!!
