I had a problem with my Spyder cutting out then surging ahead...lights flickering...Bad Key message. Then, two days ago, it finally died...thankfully as I was about to turn into my driveway. Wouldn't start and Bad Key message again. Pushed it into the drive...a bit of effort since it stalled in 1st gear and wouldn't let me shift into neutral.

Had it towed to the dealer. Turns out, the mechanic had taped up some speakers wires while I was waiting for new speakers to arrive and two of them had come in contact causing a short in the electrical system

All is well now...I get my Spyder back today. Glad I don't have to miss meeting you all in Gatlinburg!!

Good thing it wasn't more of a problem than that!

Ride Safe!

. . . . your mechanic is cookie-less too, after that floppy mirror thing. :D
