Urgent - any iseas
I am on the road and noticed that I could not shift out of 3rd gear when cruising down a rural Highway. Could not shift to 4th nor could I shift down to First. Came to a stop. The bike is in 3rd gear and it idles fine but the throttle is not responsive and again, it's stuck in 3rd gear. I've got a problem. Any ideas?

What year, model and transmission might help.

Do you have an M5 or an M6? If so it sounds like maybe your linkage has either come loose or is dirty. Take the side covers off and check that out. If you have your tool kit with you there should be enough there to do the job.

I was able to get home in 3rd gear period when I press the gear shift lever I can tell it's trying to shift gears but it does not shift gears. When the bike is stopped, it idles just fine but as I give it throttle it doesn't respond most likely because it is still in 3rd gear. Any help would be appreciated as I will be tearing off the Tupperware tonight to see what I can find.

Maybe clutch cable which it may not be or loose foot shift lever since it is a manual model

Interesting. ...🤔
From what you say you are stuck in both 3rd gear and idle...if it is a semi-auto and no throttle response you will have trouble shifting. Oil is a first step and codes if you have them. If Se6 or Se5 you can manually shift with a wrench in your tool kit and get back into neutral. Check the fly by wire if you have it otherwise the older ones had pushme pullme cables. Check the linkage needs to be tight on the shift shaft...it's a start....9

SM5 is manual..Never mind..
Electric shift paddle or shift mechanism solenoid could be bad.

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago! Shift lever was loose. Manually get it back to neutral then tighten linkage.

I had the same issue once with my 2014 ST-S SE5. I had about 4500 miles on since the previous oil change and my oil level was low. It sounds to me like you have the same issue.
Just sayin'............
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

Larry, you are the man! When I got the plastic off I noticed that the gear shift linkage was loose. So, as you said, I manually got it back to neutral and then tightened it up. I think I am now good to go. I certainly appreciate all the wisdom on this site
