• 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.

My 08' Spyder Shows "Error" and can't stay in Neutral?

Questions

Hope I'm in the right section!

My 08' Spyder Shows "Error" and can't stay in Neutral. When I start it neutral doesn't stay in place and goes into first. It takes many tries to get it to neutral but it keeps showing "E." Then when I am riding and stop at a light it does the same thing and takes me out of neutral and shows error again. Or when I stay in first it switches to "E." Then I have to bring it to first again. Scary stuff!

Any suggestions? I will take it to service next week but maybe some of you have had the same issue?

Thanks!
 
This sounds like you may have an issue with the GPS, Gear Position Sensor. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the clutch itself. This is one of the things you will need to take it to a dealer to have sorted out.

Best of luck.
 
Ok thank you. Taking it there next week.

I only have 2,500 miles on it but have had many minimal issues. I think they were all due to the old relays which I got replaced. This is the first issue since.
 
Yep I agree gear position sensor I had it replaced on mine last year somtimes the spyder will throw error codes some like brake failure can be fixed just by adding more brake fluid others like check transmission or DSS failure can be remedied by removing the key and standing at least three feet from the Spyder for a min or so this has worked for me on more than one occasion I've owned my SE5 RS-S for two years and it's been in the shop for recall or warrenty work only three times knock on wood :-))
 
:f_spider:I'm having the same problem on my spyder It's going to the shop next week for the DPS and I'm gonna have them check it out.

The GPS on mine was replaced at just over 1,000 miles, and I haven't had any issues with it at all since them. Hopefully you all will have the same results. :thumbup:
