spyder f3 7000 miles.. semi automatic transmission or paddle shifter is my problem and concern.. it has gone from 25% of the time to 80% of the time as it will not allow me to manually downshift the gearbox, causing me to slow down from 60 plus mph in 6th gear to 34 mph at which point it down shifts automatically, i cant stress the importance of being able to downshift when in traffic or the need to speed up to avoid hazards or slower cars.. also when this happens i cannot put the 1000 pound bike into reverse, causing me to manually push it backwards..3 back surguries i am not exactly physically able to do.. please let BRP know this needs their attention.. it has been to the shop but they said it wasnt doing this for them, yes they are liars, it doesnt throw a problem code to their computer therfore they dont know how to fix it, does that make sense? i need some answers and am going to be talking to BRP directly.. please keep me safe..
