Has anyone experienced the F3T sticking in gear while riding? I was riding on beltway and had to slow down due to traffic jam, not a complete stop, just dropped down to about 25 mph. Spyder automatically downshifted to 2nd gear just fine, but when traffic started flowing, I was still stuck in 2nd gear, rolled on, RPMs up to 4500, just would not upshift. Had to put hazzards on to get to shoulder. Finally got it in neutral, could also get in reverse, but could no longer get into first. Cut engine off, few minutes later all was well. Fortunately, I got off of beltway onto safer road. It happened a few more times as I headed home; once after stopping at a red light; once after stopping at a stop sign. 1st gear fine, 2nd gear fine, then reviving RMPs, would not shift up any further, had to pull over cut off and wait. Absolutely NO warning lights, not in lull mode, no indication of problem during any of the failures. This happened once before and service said must have been a fluke because there were no error messages, but yesterday happened 3 times within 2 hours. Taking back to service ASAP. Just curious as to whether anyone else has had this experience.

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.

Are the dealer mechanics not properly trained or is this normal that seem almost all issues say ' have to talk to BRP technician'?. It would seem if you are going to sell a product you should be trained in how to maintain it. Maybe I am being too critical, but just seem strange.
Yes too critical in this case. This is not maintenance this is a warrantee issue, the dealer identified the issue and now has to call BRP and explain it to them (who what why) to cover the repair under warrantee because it is BRPs call not the dealer. Dealer is doing their job in this case so we have to give them credit where credit is do. Got the bike in and same day it was looked at and they are calling BRP. :thumbup:

Might be, but don't see anything to indicate warranty item.

Please let me know exactly what was fixed in your case? I have had this same problem since last August and dealer keeps taking the "try this / try that" approach - even with BRP involved - when I feel they should be checking the obvious regarding "shifting"...the left-hand multi-function switch, or gear box sensor. There was a TSB on the left-hand multi-function switch, yet dealers tell me that my VIN is not involved...yet I have all the same problems / shifting that the TSB describes.
