• 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.

2014 RT SE6 stalling when put into gear.

As anybody experienced this,

When you put your 2014 RT (1330 Engine) semi-automatic into gear from neutral, either to 1st or reverse, the engine stalls out but restart immediately when pressing the starter. It happened twice to me over the weekend and it has happened very often to my buddy since he's had his machine. He mentioned it to the dealer.

Also, I noticed, when it restarts, it stays in whatever gear it had been shifted to instead of returning to neutral.

I'm quite sure, when it happened to mine, I had started it before waiting for the screen to completely boot, that was of course after the engine had been stopped for only a brief period of time, don't know if this means something.

My buddy says it happens to him whether his Spyder is hot or cold or if its been stopped for a long or short period of time.
 
Yep

Find that '14 wants a little more warm up...and patience is not my middle name..so changing my routine. Start "studly". Do walk around..get on..secure helmet..FINALLY :roflblack::roflblack: can put in gear...:thumbup:
 
My wife's bike has done this a few times, mine has done it once. I do tend to let the idle settle a little before engaging gear.

Sometimes mine slips into reverse with no clunk whatsoever, super smooth slick engagement, other times I get an occasional clunk (just to combine the two current threads!). First clunks from neutral, I'm sure it'll get slicker, pretty normal, most motorbikes do this too.

PK,
Thanks for your explanation.
Mine will stall once in a great while; it hasn't been an issue, and I don't foresee it becoming one! :D

Me too. Three or four times early on. Have not encountered in the last 1000 miles or so. Would like to know what gives though?
 
I suspect it's a tiny bit of clutch drag, just enough to lower the revs at idle, stalling the bike.

It's happened to me twice shifting into reverse. My cruise control failed to reset twice, too. (Unrelated to shifting.)

Happens to me every once in a while even with 4500 miles on it. I can see no pattern to it, but exactly the same symptoms. :dontknow:
 
As an update to my original post,

while in Valcourt on Monday for the factory tour, my friend mentioned this issue to one of the guys there, he called another person in and they in turn called in a technician that came out and connected a laptop to the Spyder. They downloaded the information from the Spyder to the laptop, I assume they were using BUDS.

They are suppose to get back to my friend if they find anything.
 
It happens so infrequently that I just don't worry about it, I just re-start it and go. It's happened maybe 3 times in 4500 miles. If you find out anything from the factory, it would be interesting to know why though
