What's this shaft for on Left Side of my RTL under/behind front sprocket?

I found a spline on my F3 SE6 and also asked that question.
I was told its for a gear shifter to be fitted for the bikes that have the manual transmission.

I've used the search function but nothing came out so sorry if you brought this topic before ...

While inspecting the left side of my RT 2023, behind the driver's footpeg, I noticed a shaft protruding from the gearbox with a spline at the end that isn't connected to anything. Is this normal, or have I lost a part? The Spyder operates smoothly without any noise or issues.

You're good. Nothing fell off. :spyder2: :cheers:

It's reassuring. I will climb Mount Washington on Wednesday.

Interesting that this same question comes up after I first posted it 6 years ago. Thank you, moderators for consolidating all this in one place. Sure helps users from searching fragmented information..... Jim

If you get behind some slow poke coming down the hill like I did, you will wish you had a lower first gear for the ascend!!! Have fun, it's a great view on a clear day.:2thumbs:
