• 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.

Past 3 days my 2020 RT Limited will not go into forward gear. After several attempts and going into reverse it will work and shifts fine for the rest of the ride. This happens mostly when up to temperature. Anyone had this happen and what was the fix?

Thanks

Make sure you have brake lights…… ECM needs to see you have your foot on the brake.
Possible Left Hand Multifunction Switch failing?
 
2018 F3 LTD had the exact same problem. Took it to the dealership twice but the problem was intermittent, and it would not act up for them to diagnose it. I was close to the dealership one day when it happened. I drove the Spyder about 1 mile in reverse to the dealership. I insisted that they experience and witness the problem before the bike cooled down. Ended up replacing the left housing switch. $449.99 for the part, OUCH!!! But I haven't had that problem any more since!

Did you get a fix for your shift problem on your Spyder? I have the same problem.
I could use help.

No fix, yet. Yesterday, for the first time in a month it acted up again. This time stone cold in the garage. No normal clunking noise when trying to engage. Seems like an electronic switch issue. Bike was facing forward. Put it into reverse and back to 1st gear and it went in perfectly and did not act up again for the rest of the day with 2 restarts.
