Today I was riding my RT S SE5 (two weeks new) when all of a sudden, while in first gear, it stopped moving. I put in neutral and then back into first; however, still would not move. I placed in Reverse and it still would not move. I turned it off and waited several minutes and still the same results. Has anyone experienced this problem? I had it towed to the dealer and will call them on Monday for the results. :gaah:

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.

Problems already with a 2-week old 2011 RT SE5? :yikes: Uh-oh!
I hope it's a simple fix and that this occurence won't happen again.
I was thinking about purchasing a 2011 RS SE5 tomorrow, but I guess I'll just have to wait until I find more about possible bugs from these 2011s.
Do keep us posted once the mechanics have figured out what's wrong with your :spyder2:...

Not the same
:congrats: on your new :spyder: & Im sorry your having troble already:gaah:
I have a 2010 RT-S & it went into the shop for a 3 month wait for the SE-5 Recall 9 days after I purchased it. But I would hope that your problem IS NOT RELATED, as I would hope that BRP has gotten this right & arent still shipping faulty units to the field :yikes:
Im not sure why yours isnt going into gear, tho I know on mine, If I'm LOW ANY AT ALL on oil, It will cause me to have intermittant shifting issues, but never just not shift at all, unless I'm at the LOW mark on the dip-stick. Ive heard many story's of the shop over-filling the oil, but only one or two where they got it low. Might have something to do with it, not sure, but whatever your issue, please keep us informed & I hope its just something quick & easy & they get you back on the road quickly :2thumbs:

Still in shop
Well, I picked up my RT S SE5. Initially I was told that the clutch was not at the proper height (????) and adjustments had to be made. It was suppose to be at 1mm and the mechanic found it to be a 4mm. I was told the test drive indicated that all was well. I was pulling off I still had problems with the unit going into first gear. Only when I gave it a little gas did it finally go into gear. I decided to ride the unit at which time I came to a traffic light. As I was manually downshifting, the unit started to surge aggressively forward at each gear - the first gear was the worse as the traction control kicked in. Also, the clutch was slipping because as I increased the throttle the RPMs were going higher but the MPH was not in sync. The dealership had closed so I returned it the following day. I received a phone call and was informed that the clutch appeared to be okay; therefore, they contacted BRP for their input. BRP suggested they check the solenoids and/or bypass certain solenoids. All of this will be done on Thursday and I will keep you posted. WHew!!!! - A brand new unit????:helpsmilie::gaah:
