    Default Need help!

    Hey gang, I mistakenly shut my 2012 RS SE5 off while in Reverse, now I am unable to start it up. When I put the ignition in the ON position all the reverse lights come on but I cannot put into neutral or start up. Anyone ever experience this, or known the solution? Thanks!

    apply the break and try starting, the bike should start and it will automatically drop into neutral

    Try putting your foot on the brake while starting it

    It took all of three minutes for the correct solution to present itself...

    This makes me think of when we bought our first spyder. We bought it used and hubby was driving it home while I followed him. We stopped for lunch and I took off, but he never left the parking lot. I turned around and he was hopping mad. Mumbling stuff about being sold a problem bike, etc. He couldn't get it to start. My truck has to have the brake pedal pushed before stuff works right so without a second thought I asked it he had pushed the brake pedal.

    He tried it again and it started right up. Oh, the look I got from him! Nothing like being told how to work machinery from a woman.

    Did his male ego eventually relent, and admit that you gave him the correct advice?
    I also hate it when that happens... and it seems to happen all of the time!

    Oh, yeah, but not before I got that "over the top of his glasses" look while he was grinding his teeth! And of course, I didn't rub it in or anything!

    Of course not! We all know that you'd NEVER do such a thing...

    Had the same thing happen to me....while at the dealer. Had to go in and get someone to help. Don't think that wasn't embarrassing.

    But that's like actually reading a map before stopping to ask for directions!
