Engine light
Hello,
We're on vaca...... out in the middle of no where and the engine light just came on.
What does it mean? Cant find any useful info in the owner's manual.
Thanks,
P.W.

Year and model of Spyder would be a big help. Look in the ToC in the operator's guide for "Messages in the Multifunction Gauge."

Keeps us informed PW. If it's running ok I'd probly ignore it until I returned home after getting the dealer to check and log the fault with BRP.
How many miles has the trike done?

Bummer..
Step one...turn her off and remove the key. Get a cup of coffee/beer. return and restart and see if the light goes out. If it does ryde on and see if it comes ack on. Should it come on again there may be an issue but if not it is one of the many glitches one can get. The check engine will come on for any problem be it engine or not.

Thanks for the help all! With only 3700 miles on the bike I didn't think we would have troubles already. We did find a dealer in Minnesota that was able to help us on Monday morning.
Will let you all know what we find out.

Just 3700 miles on yours eh. Here's another P0172 drama playing out. Sadly, reliability ain't what folks buy Spyders for - it should be included in the package for the price, but gets left out along with quality. Ride safe when you can.

The dealer cleared the code and the light has not came back on yet in 350 miles..... were hoping it was just a tank of bad gas.

You have a brand new Spyder. A dealership has taken one unsuccessful attempt to correct it. Get it to the dealership you purchased it from, tell them to open a case on it with BRP. Research if IA has a lemon law that includes motorcycles and if it does, put in your quiver that the dealership is on step 2 of giving you a new Spyder under the LL. Save copies of all paperwork that both you and the dealerships generate. If your selling dealership can't get it fixed promptly, like in just a few days, ask them to provide you a loaner.

That seems to correspond to what other owners have reported when camshaft timing is out by 1 tooth - CEL returns after some hundreds of miles.
Thanks for reporting back.

Would it really take 3,700 miles for the code to appear for the first time if it were the timing?

Is it possible that the camshaft position sensor going/being out of whack is causing the recurring light? I flat have no idea.

Did the dealer check the purge valve or just reset the codes. I had a check engine light come on and off again while on a long trip. Found to be a faulty intermittent purge valve. Replaced and good to go again. The action on the fault code does say to check the valve. Also there is a video out there somewhere on the replacement in French only.

The dealer we went to when we were on vaca didn't have time to do much other than clear the code. Now that were home I hope to get to the bottom of this.
