SE5 Problem

Nater1, we just got a 09 SE5 a few weeks ago. Please be sure to post what the solution to the problem is... I want you to know that I wouldn't have re-started either if this one did something like yours did. I'm to old to get beat up anymore... takes to long to heal now-a-days. Thanks for letting us all know of a potential problem on the SE5.:thumbup: I also look at it like this... "better safe than sorry!"

Good luck with the satisfactory solution.

Called Dealer.

It had been three days so I figured I would inquire about it. BRP is sending out a whole clutch assemble, and a special part they want to install that they have came up with to deal with this issue. Also I was told they are installing a new ECU, and replacing the throttle body. That is nice to hear they are throwing a basket at it to make me safe. The dealer is always very nice, and BRP is seriously concerned about what happened. They know what I am saying happened is the truth after they got a look at it.

I would not be surprised if there is not a programming updated coming out to kill the bike if ( A+B happens it does not = C for crash)

Sounds like they are taking care of you :thumbup:.

SE5 transmission problems ????
I have a 2008 SE5 Spyder. Normally when I come to a stop at a red light the transmission automatically downshifts to 1st and I can take my foot off the brake and the bike either stays stationary or very very slowly crawls forward. I have noticed that after a hard stop the the transmission still downshift to 1st but I must maintain constant brake pressure otherwise the bike wants to go forward almost as if I am throttling it up. I have noticed that the harder the stop, the more prominent the problems is.

Has anybody else had any similar issues or is this "normal" for this type of transmission and centrifugal clutch ?

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

I actually ran into this issue the other night. While stopped at a few different lights my spyder wanted to creep forward, so at a longer light on a deserted road, I downshifted to neutral and the RPMs were running around 3500 with my hand off of the throttle. Then of course, when the light turned green, I couldn't get it to go to first, so I turned the bike off for a few seconds, restarted it and was able to go. I have a 2008 SE5 which is going to be due for it's 600 mile service next week. I'm defintely letting my dealer know about it.

Edit to add: and of course, I'm finding all sorts of other posts about the creeping and how to fix it by blipping the throttle. Nothing to see here, move along.

No I was not restarting it are you nuts. I may be dumb but I am not stupid.

You did exactly the right thing with an SE5. No way to prevent disaster if the throttle is still stuck

Actually with the SE5 as soon as it starts its put in Nuetral and will not shift into 1st if the RPMS are over 1550 or so. so you would have plenty of time to determine if the throttle is stuck or not before actually moving anywhere.

But i do agree not trying to ride it if the throttle was still stuck was the right thing to do

You are probably right, but with these other major malfunctions, it is hard to say what it might have done. Any rider would probably be apprehensive. Hopefully, the interlock to prevent starting in gear would have worked, and it wouldn't have started even if he had tried.
