Issue shifting gears after heavy rain fall.
Hi,
I am experiencing issues shifting gears after heavy rain fall. After waiting the rain to stop, we decided to continue our ride but shortly after that I was experiencing difficulty changing gears. This was intermittent so I decided to check the oil. Did not notice that it being extremely low but top it up. I recently got an oil change so it is not old oil. Contined our ride but when the rain started again the problems seems to worsen. I am suspecting that some water got into the shifter.
Has anyone ever experienced something similar ? Could water be preventing the shifting of gears ?
I will be going to the nearest dealer tomorrow morning .
Thanks
Shifting issue after hard rain
Reading all threads available. Rode past Wednesday (08-12-20) got caught in terrible storm. Friend and I both stopped for Frogg Toggs. We finally got home. Soaked but safe! Dried bikes and self. Lol problem: next day in riding shifter didn’t want to up shift and constantly was down shifting to lower gear at higher rpm than normal. Trike 2011 RTS SE5 11,800 miles. Recently replaced DPS. OUCH. Called dealer, quoted multifunction SS. -399 plus 1.5 to 2 hrs labor. Have had hi power fan on trike drying out an moisture. 2 days later problem still exists. Btw oil level normal, on 1600 miles on this chg. Thanks for any and all help, D-Daddy
