 New F3 Fails to shift from neutral to first .
I just picked up my first Spyder F3 Limited today. I rode it around a little and trying to learn about everything. Sitting in driveway, twice it refused to shift from neutral to first. I would shift from neutral to reverse, then ok. Otherwise I had to shut off ignition and restart. It rides GREAT!!! What did I do wrong? Doesn't do it all the time. But, it's got only 2.9 miles on odometer.

Did you have your foot on the brake?

I doubt it. Do you have to have foot on brake to shift from neutral to first. Like I said, first Spyder... guess I'' read the manual tonight.

You do have the SE6 right?

Anyhow, thanks for the input..I'm guessing that you do have to hold brake pedal while shifting from neutral to first. This Spyder is going to be great...

I have an RTL and when I start out I have to be on the brake. I hope that your problem is that simple, I think it is.

Yes, SE6 F3 limited. Took the wife on a short ride and we were both amazed at the ride and power.. I took a test ride before we ordered, and saw that it was right for me.

I had the dealer install passenger armrests and position 5 linkage for footboards. It sets perfect. Have Lamonster's highway pegs and third pegs to install.

I had Monster Fuel Injection perform the stage 2 upgrade on my 2015 F3's. It sure is nice to be able to start the engine without pushing a button--needing sit in the saddle to depress the brake. Just turn the key & it starts--needs to be in neutral & I don't remember if the parking brake was set on--weather hasn't permitted a road test yet--Monday it's predicted to be in low 50's & I'm ready.

another hang up, is if you leave in 1st gear and shut off, to start back up, you will need to put foot on BRAKE TOO!!! then you will have learned ALL 3 of the "my spyder won't start shenanigans"
