I don’t have this problem but I enjoyed receiving the information. Great job on the video and you earned another new subscriber. 😎👍

[@fieldsleake2390]

[@Antonioca]

I appreciate you I just got my spyder yesterday Modesto

Modesto, CA? I’m was born Fowler, raised there South Fresno, just off Chestnut on Lincoln, till 12.

I just suffered this issue tonight. I will definitely be trying this tomorrow

@@DRex45 Just checking to see if this resolved the issue for you…

[@DRex45]

@@CountryMan73436 actually the next day it randomly started working correctly again. Weirdest thing in the world. But I'll still take it apart and clean anyway

Thanks for putting this video out there. The 18 model Spyder and some 19 were know to have bad paddle shifters causing them to not shift manually. Hopefully you just saved someone else the trouble of taking it to a dealer to fix it 😎 Ryde safe and God Bless

Awesome video! many thanks for sharing this ! things like this really help us / me out with any future issues!

[@iworkit24650]

Thanks for the video and tips

[@CountryMan73436]

YW… Did You have this issue? If so did it fix it?

[@thomsonkev]

You did a great job putting this video together for people! I would have done the same exact repair but instead of alcohol I use a spray can of electronics parts cleaner. You can spray heavy to clean and it evaporates fast.

[@CountryMan73436]

Thank You… One would think that since I am a Server & Storage Engineer, that I would have a can of electronics parts cleaner… I guess it’s cause I do all my work over the phone these days…. Realizing others I encounter on the road may face the same issues, I always have the tools to get the job done with me…

[@thomsonkev]

@@CountryMan73436 LoL I hear ya! I can't remember the last time I used parts cleaner on a server. Well, maybe if a person has to clean the thermal paste and reseat a CPU. But when I'm out of it, I'm guilty, I will use rubbing alcohol too!

My wife and I have a trip planed this thursday and we are taking our bikes (shes has a 08 spyder). Yesterday, im checking my bike and hers for our upcoming trip and hers wont shift intermittently. Its on the trailer and we will be checking out this problem this morning (Im in the auto repair business but not the can am fixing business). Thank you for this video. I'll defenitely check for dirt in this switch.

Have You Had A Chance To Try It Out Yet?

[@stanmcdonald4083]

Great instructional video... thanks so much

[@gudnilehtinen]

Nice

[@coltwinchester6124]

I suggest using an air compressor, if you have one. Then a can of electronics spray cleaner.

[@Partzman23]
