E on display when shifting

[412Spyder]

Hey everyone,

I did a search and couldnt find to much on this topic. I have an SM5 with 1,400 miles on it. Ive noticed a few times now my bike when trying to shift up or down gears it 1. displays an E and doesnt shift at all even if im changing gears or 2. just doesnt change gears at all with not error. i usually just let out on the clutch and try again, but when i got the E 2 times the other day i figured there was an issue. Already made an appt at the dealer, just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. thanks everyone.

I have an SM5 and the only time I get an 'E' is when I shut the spyder off in reverse; when I start it the next time the 'E' appears. The 'E' goes away when the reverse lever pops back into place.

Hi there... I've also experienced the identical error code behaviour on the SM5 when turning off the Spyder in reverse as well as when starting it up. Would this have anything to do with the Gear Position Sensor?

Bingo. See: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7831

Thanks alot for posting this... i did find this one night ( doing my 4a.m. searches for random stuff ), but forgot to bookmark it. i told them with other people and the shiftsensor and the tech said thats the first thing he was going to look at. hopefully it threw a code or 2 so i can get this done under warranty...

E error plus Check Engine light = Bad GPS; dealer need to replace the GPS and with B.U.D.S to reconfigure the ECM.

Sometimes they don't leave a code (mine didn't)... just garbage bits into the CanBus bit-stream.

I think if you get the "E" but not the check engine light, then it may be in between gears or not fully in gear. I seem to remember it happening with mine a while back.

if you miss a shift it well bring up a ( E ) where you see what gear you are in the dealer well put the buds on it and well fix for free . had it happen on mine when over heated and miss shifted shut it down 10 min it was gone went to dealer he put it on buds and fixed it for me ,
