On my 1990 GL1500 I was useing the reverse backing out of a rough driveway and while trying to go up a hump is slowed to a stop. I went to take it out of reverse and at first it felt bound up. I rocked the bike back forth and I got it out of reverse. I tried it again and had the same results. Next time I also got a push and it backed up. When I got home I tried it on flat ground and I believe it woked ok. My wife did say the head light would go off when I was trying to back and if I read my clymers manual right the light should stay on and it could be a connecter or resister??. I have thought the reverse never felt that strong. I have a new battery and if I remember right when the reverse slowed to a stop my voltage pulled down to 12.9 but as soon as I stopped it went right back up to 14.'s Any idea's where I need to look first.......Gary
