stuck in 2nd gear

[aka1004]

it happened my se5... even when i step on brake to start, it stays in 2nd
wasn't there a way to mechanically get it out of gear?
could the bb's in the handle bar cause this? i did put plastic tube in the left side first.
when i hit the paddle it does try to shift but huffs and puffs but no gear change and i hear it clicking when i am at stop. i am guessing spyder is trying to downshift to 1st.

Did you have your coils' ground fix done / installed...?

Check this thread, it has a post that shows how to manually move it with a wrench:

I wonder what could have possibly happened to cause that? Perhaps the good folks at Dynojet forgot a little something? :dontknow: Speaking of which, did the tech get there to look at your Spyder yet? I am sort of running out of virtue.

i don't think dynojet had anything to do with the linkage.
i am thinking excessive vibration and/or my aggressive ryding habit and possibly the retaining bolt was not tightened at the factory.

engineer from dynojet main office is planing to fly in next week sometimes.
i am thinking jb pro and power commander is going be basically same except for power commander is only one able to use the "autotune" and lcd monitor.

I believe you are right on all of those issues. I hope you don't have any more troubles, and the engineer is able to resolve the current problem quickly and cleanly. Otherwise I may be looking to put a stock air filter back in my Spyder for a while.
