    Default spyder dies when trying to change into first gear

    Hello, I`m new here. I was just wondering if anyone could help me? My 2009 Spyder will crank just fine, but when I try to shift into 1st gear, it dies. there is a brake warning code on the dash but I`m not sure it`s related. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't say what model Spyder you're riding, but for starters have you read the operator's guide that will tell you how to properly check the oil level and what the brake warning light means? If you don't have a hard copy guide you can download one at this link and save it on your computer: http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/I...adster&type=og. Just select your model year and then drill down to your model and download it.

    Hi and .... If you have a manual transmission and the park brake is on .... it will stall when you release the clutch ..... as stated above we need more info about your Spyder ..... Mike
