• 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.

Has anyone else experienced this Transmission Fault? Had shaft recall done, now this - any ideas?

So this just happened on Friday: I started up my 2018 Spyder F3 Limited, and it would not shift from N to 1st.
I pressed the paddle multiple times and no response, then the Transmission Fault warning with the ! showed up on the display.
I turned the trike off and on again, and it reset. Everything seemed fine, and I rode to work.
The transmission shifted normally and felt smooth.
I turned the trike on and off 6 times at work and shifted gears, and all seemed good.
Worked my shift, and when I went to leave, it shifted into 1st, but when I turned the throttle, there was no response. The engine didn't even rev; then the Transmission Fault lit up again.
I turned the trike on and off 3 times, and it finally reset.
Rode home, and all seemed smooth again.
I am loathe to ride it without knowing what caused this.
I have searched online and haven't found any answers.
My dealer isn't open until Tuesday.
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas?

Also, I just had the Engine Output Shaft recall service performed. This seems too coincidental to not be related.
 
Sad to say, but I think the dealer needs to square this. I wonder if the gear position sensor was not reset and if this is causing your issues?
 
Also curious as my 2018 F3 Limited has been in the shop for the last month with this same issue. I also had the recall done earlier this summer.
 
Have you checked the Oil Level recently?
I mean it was just serviced, which doesn't necessarily mean that it's right.

Oops I didn't see the date on this old post.🥴

No biggie. After all, @pegasus1300 was looking for an update, and it would be interesting to know what the final outcome was; or even IF there was a final outcome?! It'd be nice to know, wouldn't it? ;)

There again, the OP did post this back in early June, then doesn't seem to have come back to look at it &/or respond/update since?? 🤨
Maybe there was something else going on?? 🤔
