    Default Did you try....

    Removing the key walking away 30 to 45 min to let all systems reset..? Then restart and what comes up. The gear positioning sensor can be confused and this will happen. If there were any codes they would have been stored. Sometimes a light touch shift can cause this. If it comes back you will have to check the sensor...

    Lots of luck! Mine is down since Sept. 2015. It's at the 3rd dealer. I'm ready to strip down and sell it for parts or sell it for a parts bike. A vehicle is only as good as it's availability of parts and service. This means, if can't get it fixed the vehicle worthless. Good luck!!!!!

    I'm afraid to take mine to dealers in North GA. The last one before it changed hands, killed one trailer connector and two alarms systems. All were working before I took it in and all not after I picked up the bike. They did a transmission warranty repair but couldn't get it back together correctly a couple of times so it was leaking oil. They had to to do more transmission repairs which cost me about $1500. I got to SpyderFest in 2014 and after about ten miles of riding, the transmission light came on. Go figure?

    My current dealer is an eleven hour drive away in Cuba, MO.

    It maybe fixed. The tech called to day, he told me that he fixed it and he road it for a 1/2 hour in traffic and no codes. He must order a part and it will take a few day till it comes in. I will get back to you when I get my 2011 RSS SE5 Spyder.
