• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Is there any way of retrieving codes on a 2010 with broken lcd/no BUDS?

    If you didn't touch the two cables together with the battery unhooked, you might want to try that. It worked for me. I have the same problem, but the LCD display on my Spyder doesn't show anything. I ordered a new instrument panel, but it never arrived. I've searched for used ones but so far, I...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I'm retired. Fixing that thing gave me a reason to go outside and soak up some sun. I did most of the work sitting down. I've still have plenty of hair and being able to fix it myself gave me a feeling of satisfaction I haven't felt in quite a while.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I'm back in the wind. Not counting oil and filters (it needed an oil change), a new shifter ($50 - didn't need it, but I replaced it anyway), a service manual ($30), and an engine and transmission oil pressure tester ($40 Harbor Freight - might need it again someday), it only cost me $60 to fix...

    Not shifting into reverse - any ideas?

    Does it only rev up one time? Mine revs up three times when there's a shifting issue. There might be tests you can do that might pinpoint the problem. Do you have a service manual? You can use this link for an operators' guide: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    It doesn't matter if you know to step on the brake when you start it. Unfortunately, I found that out too late. When I found out that I didn't have to put my foot on the brake to start it if it's already in neutral, I got into the habit of starting it up without getting on it, and then letting...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Most likely the bike didn't start because I shut it off in gear. When it wouldn't start I removed the gear shift lever from the transmission without marking it. If the HCM relies on the transmission to push or pull the piston inside the hydraulic cylinder into it's neutral position and I hit the...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I know damn near everything about there is to know about the HCM now. I know you can test to see if the TCM is sending the signal to activate the solenoids using a test light. I know which pins on the 8-pin connector go to the individual solenoids. I know how to swap the up-shift and downshift...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I sort of owe you an apology. The damage might have been self-inflicted. I failed to mark the shift lever or the transmission when I removed the shift lever from the transmission. When I reconnected it, I trusted the gear shift shaft to be in the correct position, but it wasn't. It was stuck all...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Mystery solved! As soon as I took off the front of the HCM, I saw it. When I manually shifted the bike into reverse from neutral when it wouldn't start the first time, I removed the shift lever. I should have removed the shaft. When I reconnected it, the hydraulic cylinder was all the way...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I'll try it but during the electrical test the solenoid was getting the pulse to activate when I pushed the shifter like I normally do. I don't hold it forward when I'm riding it. I tried holding it a little longer to see if it would shift if I did while I was testing it.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    That doesn't make sense. Reverse to neutral utilizes the same solenoid neutral to first uses. The upshift solenoid. My bike will downshift from 1st to neutral. It will downshift from neutral to reverse. But it doesn't upshift from reverse to neutral or neutral to first. It doesn't matter how...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Latest Update: Tested everything I could test with a multi meter and a test light. Found nothing wrong. Since it will shift into reverse using the paddle shifter, and shift from 1st gear to neutral using the paddle shift, but it won't shift from reverse to neutral or neutral to 1st gear the...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    The shop manual I bought is confusing too. It tells you to unplug the TCM connector and the 8 pin connector to test solenoid resistance. If you disconnect the 8 pin connector and test the end to the solenoids it shouldn't matter if the TCM connector is plugged in our not. I checked it the...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I forgot to proofread before I posted. I screwed the second part up pretty good. I redid the test you recommended with the motor running The test light came on and stayed on for a couple seconds. (I tested all 4 solenoids separately). I'm going to call you tomorrow. I think we're having a...

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Couldn't you trim the plastic a little bit right there?

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I redid the test you recommended with the motor running. The test light came on and stayed on for a couple seconds when I did the solenoid resistance test. The resistance between 1 and 8, 2 and 7, and 3 and 6 was 3.8 ohms. 4 and 5 it was 1.9 ohms. Slightly higher than what the book said, but I...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I picked up some oil on the way home from the dentist. I'm going to try it today with the engine running. The test light isn't coming on when I pull back on the paddle and push in on the reverse button but the bike will shift into reverse from neutral when it's running.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Worked on the bike for a few hours this morning. Drained the oil and replaced the engine filter. I already replaced the HCM filter a week or so ago so I just drained the oil that was in the filter out and reinstalled it. I took the oil pressure regulator out while I had the oil drained. It...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I tested the solenoid resistance but I did it wrong. I'll re do it asap. I've been waiting for the new oil filter I ordered. It was supposed to be here Tuesday. I got it yesterday, Friday. Ticker's been acting up so I haven't been in a big hurry to mess with the bike lately. I plan on working on...
