Stuck in 1st

[paintedlady1]

Just went out and my 2010 RT, is stuck in 1st gear.I have noticed of late that it travels past N, and I have a had a hard time at times finding N. When I parked it the other day, I could not get N, so I left it in 1st. I tried pulling it up by hand as my foot got sore no go. I hate to say it, but it has been one thing after another with this bike. If I can get a truck to come and get it, how can we get it on the bed, if we can't push it ???? I need some advice.. Help you guys!!!

Do you have your parking brake on at the same time? Turn it off and move the bike back and forth a bit as you try to shift it. Might be time for a clutch fluid flush and oil change when ya get it out of 1st.

Check your oil level mine has done that when it is GETTING low

Curious..!!

Sm5/6 or Se5/6..? Pushing either one is not a problem. Pull in the clutch and release the park brake on the Sm and release the park brake on the se. The clutch is not engaged on the Se unless the engine is running over 3,500 rpms. You can check the linkage at the shiftshaft that may have loosened. This makes shifting difficult. Oil level is another place to check. good luck :thumbup:

As stated, is it an SM5 or SE5? The SM5 should only require holding in the clutch to start. An SE5 should start with pressing the foot brake when starting. Without more info, that's my 2 guesses. If it's an SM5, it is easier to go to 2nd gear from 1st to get to neutral. Once in 2nd, a gentle tap should put it in neutral. I had an SM5 RT for 4 years.

No, I find it hard to move the bike and try to start it at the same time. Thanks

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I have a RTS.

2010 RTS, semi-auto or Manual.

Will the bike start? If so what gear is it in? can you drive it if it starts?

It will not start as I can not get it into N, it just jumps forward and turns off.

No, I find it hard to move the bike and try to start it at the same time. Thanks

I was meaning try to rock the bike and shift it, without it running.
