Hello,
I seem to have a problem that I haven't heard of before, The switch on the auto gear lever that stops you inadvertently moving from drive to reverse, or vice-versa now remains in the "in" position, as in, it doesn't spring back when you remove your finger so it is possible to accidently move the lever through the whole range.
Anybody seen this before and, dare I ask, is it an easy fix if so?
Thanks.

sounds like the spring has gone in the knob, cheap enough off of ebay just search fl2 auto gear knob spring . and lots of advice in the search button about changing it i haven't done 1 yet but there's always the chance i will have to with 2 autos . 2009 FL2 S now gone
2011 FL2 HSE AUTO
2012 FL2 XS AUTO
2000 Kawasaki er 5

^^^ as above.
I found the quickest way to replace it was to hold the switch in as far as I could and get a flat blade screw driver in the top and pop the switch out that way. No need to dismantle the whole assembly. IIRC I paid £4-5 off of Ebay for my replacement spring.The lever needs to be in the Drive position to get the best access to fit the spring.

Excellent, very relieved, Thanks for the replies.
