What's Letter E in gear shifter indicator telling me?

[Clary]

Out for a ride today and while shifting gears up the letter E appeared where the gear # should have been shown. Stayed on for awhile until I geared down and never came back. Anyone ever experience that ? Like to know the cause. 2014 spyder RT Ltd se6

Thanks .

Yes. My 2014 RT did that a couple of times. The "E" means error. Like you, I played around with it and it went away. Twice it happened to me while I was refueling at the gas station. Guessing some kind of glitch with my shutdown or startup. Never found out the cause.

Yes. Saw same thing several times my last ride. Mostly while downshifting (SM6). Have been being a little more deliberate with my shifting, and have noticed the “E” pop up mostly while shifting slowly. “I believe” it is just indicating that it is not in a correct gear, as if between gears.

Think *my* problem is probably more fluid-related. It’s a “new” ‘17 model, and I haven’t changed the clutch/brake fluids yet. Doubt they’ve ever been changed.

I saw it quite a few times on my 08 GS which was a manual ..... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:

My 2014 RTL did that a couple times over the course of 3 years. Never paid much attention or concern. I just thought the computer was confused about what I was doing.....:dontknow:

I saw the big E several times when I was first learning my Spyder and, for me, it was because I had pressed the +,Upshift, lever and held it a bit too long instead of a smooth press and release, but that was about 77K miles ago.

Thanks all for your info. That’s what I thought - it was something small so I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. thanks.
