Help!!! Stranded in Key West with a new 2015 Limited Spyder.
Have 3024 miles on our new Spyder RT which we purchased in Tucson Az. at the end of Jan. My engine lite started flashing and the bike is in limp mode. The closest dealer in south of Miami over 110 mi. away. Called the dealer and he stated the bike needs service already? Can I ride the bike in limp mode with out causing damage. It has been very hot in the sun, and the computers maybe screwed up. Checked the oil, trans, and brake fluid. All seem ok. Can you help????

Yes, you can drive it in limp mode, but speed and RPM will be limited (you should be able to get up to just under 60 MPH). Try doing the "key walk"...shut off the bike, remove the key, and walk away from it for a while. Try it again and see what happens, it may reset. What were you doing when the light came on?
PS - Of all the possible places to be "stranded", you picked the best possible one!

Went to Kmart and had the bike in sun (90 degrees) and started the bike, lite started flashing, and we drove to the RV Park. Been on the phone ever since.

Are you someplace safe??
if so turn the bike off, remove the key and walk a few feet away from the bike, this will allow the computer to shut down, after a few minutes 2 or 3 go back and see if the bike will start properly, sometimes the computer needs a reboot.

I'm sorry I can't help you with the problem. And I'm sorry your first posts here are because of a problem with your Spyder. So all I can say is and I hope you'll be a frequent poster here under better circumstances.

Code P0340 camshaft position sensor as reported by the ECM. the probe tells the ECM the state of the cam.
P000 is not listed. (this info came from the "Spyder Codes" app

Traded our 2013 Spyder in Tucsan and never had issues. Sure hope this is not a sign of trouble. Our new 2015 sure has been a great ride so far. Hope we made the right decision.

Let's see..!!
P0340...is crankshaft position sensor reporting issue. If the key walk dosen't clear things up this sensor needs to be checked. Could be loose or damaged. Not common especially on your model. If engine runs you can ryde back to miami slowly...

shut her down, walked away, removed the key. Got codes per Nancystoys and all things seem fine except the engine lite still flashes and the limp mode lite comes on.

Hope all is well for you soon !
Unless roadside assistance has changed, you get up to $200 per incident for towing.

That $200 should cover the last ten miles if you have 100 miles of AAA towing for motorcycles and RV's. I also have a Good Sam card, as that tows you to the nearest place that is "willing and able" to fix your Spyder, no matter how many miles it is.
Towing was $10 a mile on a flatbed when I asked, so hopefully you have towing insurance.
I would call ahead to the dealer you are going to so they know to expect you and can hopefully service you quickly. Be braced if they have to order a part from Canada, and know it can take some time. Being very nice to BRP on the phone and explaining your situation goes much further with them than getting upset, or it did in my book. They may extend themselves further for you if you speak with them on the phone personally.

Is there such a thing as a dash cover for the Spyders? I wonder if even a towel would help or if the heat is also coming through the trunk or above the trunk or elsewhere...thoughts??
Life's short...Play it by ear and ryde!

My AMA membership includes roadside assistance. If you have that, give them a call. I'm not sure about the towing benefit.

If limp mode still comes on after taking the key out you could try putting the key in and turning it off and on 3 times. Don't start the engine just wait for the start message then turn the key off and on 3 times. That may reset your computer. If not check for codes again. If they are still there they are active and you will need service.
Limp mode limits the rpm so you will want to up shift as soon as you can. The good thing is the speed limit isn't very high in the Jeys and it is flat there.

I just hate it when somebody posts a problem here and they don't ever post what the fix was or that they never post again. A lot of people tried to come to your rescue with possible solutions to a fix. You could at least give us an update or something. Reminds me of the sheep herder that cried Wolf. That is truly a Bur head!!!!

It is nice and a BIG help to others if those who had issues post what solved the issue. That's how we all learn.
