• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    One of the first things I did. Gear shift rod and shifter lever are in pristine condition. Splines on clutch shaft same.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Thank you. I had to put a new transmission in my truck last month, so I don't have a lot of spare cash on hand right now. I can use all the help I can get or this thing's going to be sitting around collecting smaller spiders for a while. I keep it under cover under a pergola in my front yard...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Thanx for the reply but I did do some research first. When I noticed the neutral light wasn't on when I tried to start it, I assumed I forgot to shift the bike into neutral gear the last time I rode it. Maybe I did. Or the shifter didn't respond when I pulled back on the paddle, and I didn't...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I admit I was being hard headed about not testing the battery when you suggested that when I first started working on it, but I did hook jumper cables from my truck to the battery on my bike, depressed the brake lever and tried to start it. Nothing happened. I took the battery out and charged...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I took the battery to my mechanic. He's a younger dude but he already owns his own shop. He used a battery tester that tests the voltage, amps, etc. under load. I didn't write the numbers down but I had already hooked jumper cables to it from my truck and tried it before I had it tested.

    Still having troubles! Bike wouldn't start. Neutral light off. Tried manually shifting into neutral by rotating shift lever counterclockwise with wrench. Won't budge. Disconnected shifting shaft. Shifted into neutral by turning shifting lever counterclockwise with wrench. Neutral on. Bike...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    As I said in my previous post I'm going to try to fix it the right way first.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    After further thought on the subject I decided to try to fix it properly instead of taking a chance **** rigging it and tearing up the transmission. I can put it in gear manually because the RPMs are below the locking up of the centrifugal clutch point but upshifting and downshifting above that...

    Need a new shed for my Ryker - any suggestions?

    They have laws regarding sheds on the right coast too. The 100 square foot rule is standard in a lot of states.

    Replacing the shift switch on my SE5

    I have a 2011 RS SE5. What did your bike do before you had to replace the paddle shifter? The LCD section of my guage cluster isn't visible to read codes. My bike was working fine and then it wouldn't start. I noticed the neutral light wasn't on so I manually shifting it into neutral. It fired...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Some of the other people who have chimed in said it has a centrifugal clutch. I had the rear wheel off the ground and manually shifted it into reverse with the motor running no problem with my brother holding the brake but I didn't try shifting it into first gear. My next step is to see if I can...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Let me clarify my comment. What I meant was they can be shifted like an automatic with a manual valve body as in you shift it manually without depressing a clutch pedal.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I took it to my mechanic. He's a car/truck/tractor mechanic by trade but he works on bikes too. He has a battery and alternator tester like they use at auto parts store like Auto Zone and O Reilly's.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    Checked the battery. It was fine. After disconnecting the gear shift level I got it to manually shift into neutral again using a 13mm wrench. Bike fired up but nothing happens when I try to put it in gear using the handlebar controls. I'm going to take the paddle shifter apart next. I still...

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I suspect the paddle shifter might be the problem. If the battery isn't the problem I'll disect the paddle shifter and see what makes it tick.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I'll give it a shot but that doesn't explain why it won't shift into reverse of first gear with the engine warmed up and running.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I decided to fix it right. I'll pull the battery out and have it tested asap.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I don't think the battery is the problem. After I manually shifted it into neutral it fired right up.

    2011 RS SE5 Won't start/shift to Neutral - anyone have shifter wiring schematics?

    I checked the splines. They're fine. Probably been less than 1000 since the last oil and filter change. Oil still looks clean and clear. I'm pretty sure the hydraulic shifting happening on the motor or the paddle shifter itself is the problem. Could be one of the rear fuses. I haven't checked...
