• 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.

HELP 2012 RSS SE5 stuck in first gear - any suggestions?

So I finally broke down and had my :spyder2: flat bedded to dealer on Wednesday... They call me on Friday telling me that my air filter was clogged and that's why I couldn't shift out of first gear... I have had 2 wheel bikes before (I know the :spyder2: is a different animal) but a clogged air filter never prevented me from being able to shift gears before (the bike would overheat and shut down)... Has anyone else heard of an air filter preventing you from shifting gears on a :spyder2: ?? Like I said in previous posts, I'm not to fond of this dealer, but what can I do if they've got it working? Any thoughts on an air filter causing shifting problems? Thanx



2012 RSS SE5

That's a new one on me [air filter] Could be that he got it working by dumb luck and just made up a story about the air filter? I would look for anther dealer the next time you have a problem.

Wish i could help, But when i did have a Spyder i went to a dealer in PA, Which in all honesty i won't recommend him for Spyders, For bikes yes i would recommend him....

Just a side note, I was born in Brooklyn [Bushwick] move to Jersey in the 70's....
 
What..!!

better story would be the oil filter. Oil level and pressure can cause a shifting problem but the air filter never. Clogged air filter would cause a rich mix situation for which you would get a code to that effect and the engine would shut down. Watch your oil level, get in the habit of checking it after long rides cause they use oil but get better about it with time... If possible change service/dealer....:thumbup:
