    Default Engine light plus transmission chatter, 2012 RT SE5

    After a ride yesterday with no problems, started Spyder, engine light came on. Put SE5 transmission in reverse at it move but with transmission chatter. Put it in 1rst to go back in garage and got transmission chatter again. Came in house and searched SpyderLovers and read posts. Went back to machine and no more problems. They all went away. Control+Set+turn signal cancel showed blank grey screen.

    Default Hard to say..!!

    seems a lot of momentary problems are coming up. They go away but leave you perplexed. Could just be a missed shift from the selenoid. Now it is all lined up and working. Make sure your oil level and condition are good. Make sure you electrical connections are good. You may have to have the dealer to check for stored codes with buds...

    Same thing happened again today. Got engine code P1614. Came in house to search Can Am engine code P1614 and most said throttle body problem. Went back out and started engine and problem was gone again. Will take it to dealer this afternoon.

    Glad to hear your problem is solved. Sometimes, the will do a computer glitch just to let you know who is in charge.

    Oil level can do funny things with the tranny and shifting, so always a good place to start.

    Persistent problems require a trip to the dealer which you did and got the problem solved.
