Hi, I have a 2004 Le Mans with about 3300 miles. The bike is completely stock, no problems whatsoever, but recently I was returning home and the gearbox got stuck in first gear and wouldn't shift anymore. I have always been very gentle when in comes to shifting so I am very surprised that this actually happened. I only do light maintenance so I will have to take the bike to the dealer for repair. Anybody has a clue what the problem might be, the potential damage and costs involved? any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree, that is why I am really concerned. I will check with Tod tomorrow first thing and it is certainly not a downstream bike at all. Hopefully I will fix this one and the expectations will remain!!! thanks for your great assistance and help!!

ratchethack, looking at my original message, I said, " the light goes off at 1400 rpm"....I meant the light turns off always over 1200-1400 rpm so, over that engine speed, there is correct ( I assume ) oil pressure...just wanted to clarify. Thanks for your patience!!! Its my first non Japanese bike!!!

Absolutely sir!!!....and yes I have.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to advice. I will follow directions and hope for the best!. Will keep you posted on developments!

Thank you so much ratchethack, for your advice and comments. Now, this is a BIG!! dissapintment that a brand new bike, of which I had such great expectations could bring a problem like this. I assume the warranty will cover all the expense related to fixing this problem, am I right? do you think this is problem is fixable in for the long run?..thanks again...jorcalle

Hello everyone!!, after wanting to own a red Le mans for a long time, I finally got one a couple of weeks ago. I am very impressed and happy with the bike so far but as always, there is something some little issue that needs to be fixed. In my case the oil pressure indicator light remains on up to 1200 rpm when cold and up to 1400 when is really hot out there, meaning over 90 degrees!!, I checked the oil level as instructed in the manual and it seems to be ok. I have been paying attention and it always goes off over 1400 rpm. Iddle speed at the moment is only 900 rpm. I understand it should be between 1000-1200 rpm. The bike has only 100 miles so far and other than that is rolling really well. Is this something I should be very concerned about and if so, what would fix the problem. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Best regards Jorcalle
