    are you you pushing the button on the handlebar first and holding it in while trying to use the paddle to put it reverse. With your foot on the brake?

    Did you sit on it and apply pressure on the Brake? Is it stuck in first??Applying pressure to the brake, should make it go into neutral? Guess Joe we posted this at the same time!LOL!

    Same kind of thing happened to me last year when I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any volume out my Goldwing radio. Finally noticed a few days later the mute button was pushed in!
