Warranty stuff » Shift assist.

Anybody have issues shifting? Last night trying to shift using shift assist from 2nd at redline to 3rd, the motor cut out and cut back in but didn’t shift. Tried again same thing. Third time she went to 3rd. Any ideas?

Suspect the motor cutout due to rev limiter.
The boxer motor doesn't mind being short shifted.
Shift sooner.

I did not find it in the RS manual but the K1300S manual says to not use shift assist at redline.

The
shifting assistant should not
be used in the area of the revlimiter

I’ll pay more attention, I dont think I actually hit redline until it didn’t shift the first time so the RPMs kept increasing.

I suggest you take the bike in to the dealership and have them look it over.

While I don't want to go trolling through my manual looking for it, I have a vague recollection is that there was also a warning about not pre-loading your shift lever when using the GASP.

As the manual reads (I have a soft copy so it's quick & easy to find stuff), shift assistance is not available in the following situations:
a. With clutch lever pulled;
b. Shift lever not in its initial position;
c. Upshifts with a closed throttle valve (coasting overrun) and when braking;
d. After a gear change, the shift lever has to be fully released before another gear change with the Pro shift assistant can take place.

All of the conditions were satisfied. I’m going to let a buddy ride it to make sure it’s not operater error. I have an appointment at the dealer next week.

I have been pre-loading my shift lever for years and it has become a habit ever since I started riding Hondas, about 55 years ago. So I have to be careful not to do that when using the GASP. The other thing you don't want to do is to downshift from second to first gear and accidentally have the throttle open a little. That gives the "slipper" clutch and rear tire a workout.

I think the manual says that up-shifting from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd using shift assist is not recommended. The clutch should be used for those shifts.
