No Reverse

[BruceA]

I have a 2015 STL with E transmission with only 950 miles on it. It's been sitting in my garage for about six weeks and when I started it today, it won't go into reverse. I let it warm up to normal operating temp. but still no luck. No error codes. Any ideas????

Will it go to N ,1st & back again? Have you asked dealer?

Just now happened so haven't asked the dealer. It goes into first fine, it does take two or three tries to go into N but has always been that way. Just won't go into reverse.

Did you push down on the "R" button before tapping the paddle shifter? It has happened before.

Yep, I made that mistake when I first got it. I'm going to ride it tomorrow when the weather clears and see what happens.

Best of luck to ya. Keep us informed. With only 950miles everything should be covered by warranty

Random thought.... Check to see if the oil level is up to par.

On my ST-S, I recall rough shifts when oil level was low. Maybe... Just maybe... your difficulty in gear change has to do with oil level.

Check the relays to be sure they are all seated properly.

UPDATE,
Started it up to go for a ride today and still no reverse. Rode for about 90 miles, stopped for gas and a cup of coffee. When I started the bundle of Tupperware and electronics, I had reverse again.

I sure liked those days before computers and cell phones. I guess things could be worse.

Thanks to all

The bike is working perfect. It was your fault for not using it for 6 weeks. It was just letting you know it likes to get out of the dark garage and roar down the road.

You know, I think that you are absolutely correct. I hate the cold and for me, anything under 50 degrees is cold so I rode into civilization today and bought a bunch of cold weather riding gear. Now it will never sit for more than a week.

wish I were in Arizona again.

Reverse issue

That happens to my F3's. then while in neutral I rev the engine to 3500--let it idle back down & then it shifts into reverse.
Or make believe it's a big Harley & only park where you can drive straight out of coast it backwards on a parking slopepps:... The engine revving is a suggestion in the owners manual..

My RS had some shifting issues when the temp was cold and found that if the handle bars were turned to far in either direction it wouldn't go into reverse
