SE5 NO GO

[bnlrobinson]

Hopefully someone can help explain what happened???????
This afternoon I went for a ride:2thumbs:. It was about 55 degrees out and it started raining (not to hard). I had ridden about 5 miles in the rain when I came to a stop, made a right turn, shifted into 2nd gear and the bike wouldn't go. It never shutdown but I couldn't get it out of 2nd. I turned it off and pushed it off to the side of the road. It took about 3 minutes and 4 restarts before it went into nuetral and away we went.
Any body have any suggestions about what could have happened? I also hit the 1,000 mile mark today.:thumbup:
This was a demo that I got from the dealer, it had 700 miles when I bought it on 12/02/08.

hi you may want to repost this in general discussion better chance of someone helping.

Make sure that you are COMPLETLY off the throttle when coming to a stop, it should start downshifting as RPMs drop. If this does not happen have dealer replace transmission control module under warranty.

found this thought it might help

Would it drive at all? That would be dangerous if pulling out in traffic. My se5 once died in first gear and i was lucky no traffuc was coming. Hasnt happened since but today i started it in first gear wouldnt go into neutral.

Thanks Roger I reposted in the general disc. I pretty sure I went into 1st gear and then shifted into 2nd and then nothing.
