I was wanting to know if anyone has had a trans broblem. My spyder has been in the shop SEVEN WEEKS for the revers and nutrual light flashing while in first and second gear they still dont know whats wrong with it every time I have called I get "well he is still scratching his head over it I live in louisiana and have to take it to Texas for service does anyone know what the problem is and why for some reason they cant fix it because Im pissed

That sounds crazy. Seven weeks?

I follow most, if not all of the spyder message boards - really the first time I have heard of this. Most of the time, the shop is too proud (or more likely lazy) to work with BRP directly on the issue - once they work with BRP the issue is usually resolved in just a day or so. Push them to call BRP - and start calling and complaining to BRP directly. You may also want to, although a huge pain, find another shop/dealership and move the bike if you don't get any progress immediately.

transmission problems, flickering N and R

I had the same problem. Replaced the gear position sensor. Problem solved, at least for the 1000 miles since then.

re solve

My suggestion would be to contact lamont on spyderlovers. He could probably find someone who could resolve.

Also, on issues like this there are two great avenues for assistance available to you:

The first is to contact the Spyder team at: [email protected]

The second is to try this number (888) 864-2002 and it is staffed for 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET any day, I'm pretty sure it is the right one, if not, I'm sure they will be able to point you in the correct direction.

First gear "klunk" is pretty common for all bikes. At least that one is ok.

it is most likely the gear position sensor. i had one at my shop with those same issues.

My Spyder suffered the exact problem and was resolved with a new shift position sensor. Your dealer should be able to verify the malfunctions by hooking up to the computer and running diagnostics (B.U.D.S.). Part will be under warranty. Several peoplke have had this problem.

Trans problem again

Well I just got back in town road my spyder about 140 miles was going down the interstate and looked at my gear position on my dash it started going down the up then down then up and so the went down to reverse then died pulled off the road would not start back up had an E where the number for the gear would be turned the key off then back on was fine I am starting to think I have a lemon To bad mine is silver lol

It might just be your gear position sensor failed. Take to dealer, easy fix if they have the part and computer system.

Gear positioning Sensor Error

I believe I have experienced the same fault. The instersting part is that when the pike gets cold the code errors dissapear C1290 and P0707.
The original gear positioning sensor is definatly the faulty part and funny enough this has started after the DPI recall and software upgrade was done.
Maybe the sensor should have been replaced in the first place as I have a feeling it sending wrong messages to the computer and can cause the tempreture and stearing to Malfunction..

Never the less the Factory is carefull putting out recalls since the Sensor and the Parking foot brake should have been covered under warranty.
