Default Gearbox problems with Breakout

Has anybody had problems being stuck in fourth gear and unable to change to a lower gear, I also noticed at the time the gear indicator display on the console was not working at the time, but I could change up though the gear ok, but not lower than fourth. On a 150ml ride I had this fault consistently for around 30mls, the last 70miles of the ride no problems. Thanks for your help.

Nope. If I get lazy and do all of the downshifting at a stop it will get stuck occasionally. I just have to let the throttle out a bit and it works fine. That happened on the Wide Glide too though.

Good luck.
