 Temperature sensitive SE6
Just returned from a great ride through New Mexico. Woke up on Thursday morning in Chama with temperature of 40 degrees. Transmission would not shift into reverse, neutral or downshift at all. It did upshift just fine however. Thankfully I was parked on a level parking lot at the motel and I could push it away from the stall. After it warmed up later, it began to act normally again. I say normally, but I have been having trouble downshifting. Having to push very hard on the (-) paddle shifter to do anything. My dealer has ordered a new assembly but they are not available until October. The next morning it was more of the same. 37 degrees and no luck with the (-) side of the paddle. Finally after the temps warmed up into the 50's, did downshifting start to work again. Nebraska mornings in the Fall can be 40 degrees pretty easily. I hope this isn't going to be a problem

Is that a 17 or 18? I have read of a few people having shifting problems on 18 RT SE.

It is an 18 RT Limited. Downshifting, reverse, and neutral has been an issue ever since I rode through a heavy rain a month or so ago. Thankfully it is under warranty. That left handlebar switch group is over $400 bucks I'm told.

Looks like it us a known issue. See this thread for more info. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...AUAL-DOWNSHIFT

As unlikely as it may be: check your oil level.

??????????? I will tho I don't see the connection yet. I wish I could go out and check it. Having to ride miles, the let it sit and idle for 10 minutes seems like overkill.

Just get it to the dealer and let them fix it under warranty.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
