"The Harley Davidson Lowrider S may experience transmission issues such as downshifting problems and false neutrals, particularly between the 1st and 2nd gears.

It's a sporadic issue. Myself and a guy who frequents this site had problems with our 2020 Lowrider S. He emailed me a list of parts they replaced on his. When mine went in for service the dealer replaced the exact same parts as his.
My Lowrider has the 110, which has had issues in the past of the valve lifters getting worn quickly sometimes. I had been researching the '26 version but hadn't come across any known issues like the 110 has, that's why I asked in case I was missing an important source.
At any rate, sucks that you're having this problem especially because it's new, but they'll get it sorted for you. Let us know what they say.
