    Default Paddle shifter not selecting reverse - any ideas?

    I have a problem with my 2018 RT. It'll no longer shift into reverse. Can not down shift manually. Only way to put in neutral is to shut it off in first and restart engine. Anyone ever hear of this problem? I'm guessing it's the paddle shifter on the handlebar that's the problem but will call the dealer tomorrow to book an appointment. Hate having issues on a new bike.

    Default SHIFTER

    ​It could be your gear position sensor or reverse actuator switch. Dealer will have to figure it out.

    There was a service bulletin issued for that very same problem about 3-4 weeks ago.

    The left handlebar control module containing the paddle shifter needs to be changed.

    Mine was done.

    Best to contact your dealer.
