 Won't Shift Into Reverse
Ok, ryding home from work yesterday and it was about 102 outside. No heat issues at all, bike ran cool for the temp and some stop n go traffic. Really enjoyed the ryde. I stopped by the house to pick something up before heading to the store, got back on the bike started it up, went to put it in reverse and nothing happened. I started it in Neutral, had my foot on the brake, and it would not engage. Put it back in Neutral and rolled it down the drive way and off to the store. After leaving the store same issue no reverse. Checked the oil as soon as I got home so temp was up. Plenty of oil, In fact it had just been changed about 200 miles ago. Any thoughts as to what might have caused this. I have not checked it today, but will tonight.
Thanks in advance.

I have to agree with Bob Denman.
I had a 2014 spyder out for a long ride this weekend. I found sometimes I had to use my right thumb and push the reverse button first and then use the paddle shifter.
Did not have to do this very often though just when the bike was run a long time and was warm.

Check your fuses. F7 I believe, on 2012 RT and prior. It will tell you on the panel box which is it for the reverse actuator.

agree
with checking the fuse and then the selenoid/actuator. The button pressure I'm sure you tried usually the first thing we do, if it don't work get a bigger hammer, but worth a try as well....hope its just a momentary glitch...

 Shifting Spyder Limited into reverse

Otherwise; try pulling up any active error codes...
Good Luck!
Had the same problem. Your solution worked great for me!! Many thanks.

Did something similar with my old 900F but it was the kill switch ,which got accidentally activated while loading the bike. Caused 10 minutes of grief in a parking lot till my lover ( now wife ) said " what is this switch for???? "

I'm on my 4th Spyder and found BRP changed the sequence on going into reverse!! believe they did it on the 2014's - maybe when they went to 3 cylinders??
You all can have your laugh on this one as I went back to my dealer when I could not get into reverse and found the sequence changed?? duh??

WOW, nice to know, I bought a 2018 RTL and can't pick it up yet due to the covid 19 restriction to local regions. I am hoping to have it in the next few weeks, they are starting to talk about removing the restrictions slowly.
