I have a 2003 Sportsman 500. On the digital screen area of the speedometer the little hour glass blinks on and the word "SEAEr" (Top arm of E missing) appears for about 5 seconds then looks normal for about 15 seconds then blinks on again. Does anyone know what this means? I can't find my manual, I have reset the service clock, and disconnected the battery for 1/2 hour, reconnected it and it still does it.

 

Could the word be "Statr" (STATOR)? my 14 year old daughter rode it and thats what she read it as. I replaced the battery as I knew it was weak and tested the charging system and at idle it charges right at 13 volts, and it still does it. Has anyone had their stator go out and have a code like this show up on the speedo?

 

The 2003-2004 speedo did not say anything about stator, it did have an ERROR warning, does it properly show which gear its in? P_N_H_L_R if not, the switch on the tranny is bad and causing the ERROR on the speedo

 

It does have gear indicator on the left side, a big H, L, N, & R the 03 doesn't have park, I'll have to check tranny switch. Thanks for the reply

 

did you find out what was causing your bike to have that message my 03 is doing the same thing .

 

the message center comes on ok then starts switching modes from reading off on screen with wrench and hour glass at top not blinking then to the wrench blinking and the word statr at the bottom of screen and the tac jumps up bouncing between 15 and 20 but not running any help would be great thanks
