I have a 2012 Royal Star Venture. On three occasions the transmission has "mysteriously' shifted from 1st into neutral with no rider assistance. The first two occasions I was practically stopped but fell when the bike did not respond since it was in neutral instead of 1st gear which I had previously shifted to. The second time I broke my hip. Now, 7 weeks later I am leaving a parking lot with a steep incline and it does it again. I was in 1st and about half way up the embankment when I felt the loss of power and racing of my engine. I immediately "stomped" it into 1st and made it up the incline ok.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem?
I would appreciate any and all help and suggestions!

This is the first time I have made a post and so I definitely am in the uphill side of my learning curve.
All the posts that I have received have been very helpful. Thanks to all for taking the time to provide information!

First make sure you are not inadvertently bumping the shifter. Then warranty.

The first two times I wondered if I had gotten my big foot where it did not belong. I am accessing the "warranty" tomorrow. Thanks!

Sorry to hear of the broken hip...that can be tough.
It might be it was not fully shifted into gear and popped out under power. You might
give the shiftage linkage an inspection, make sure the swivels rotated easily and grease if needed
(some of the linkage is viewed from underneath the engine). Shifter
pedal height adjustment could also be a factor, if the toe is set too low.
Another thought....are you wearing footwear with a light sole as opposed to a boot.
Sometimes a sole that flexes can cause poor shifter engagement.
Thanks for all the good ideas. I always wear a boot so that's at least one I can check off.
