    Default Stuck in reverse

    Hello everybody,

    I have a 2009 can am spyder rs, I did an oil change and coolant flush about to days ago. Everything went smoothly with no issues, I pulled her out of the garage using the reverse switch and when I went to put her in 1st gear she would not change over, I tried other gears but with no success. Does anyone have any clues to what might be the issue. Please help!

    The reverse actuating cable passes right next to the oil filter cover. Check to see you have not damaged it in any way.

    You have not said whether or not it is an SE5 or SM5. If it is an SE5, it will be sensitive to the oil level. Check the oil level as per the Can Am procedure. to assure this is not the cause of the problem.

    I am not conversant with the SM5 so I can't suggest any course of action.
