Welcome from AL - I've never had that happen, you might want to search the General Pioneer 500 Discussion board or re-post your question there.

Sometimes happens when it's cold, just let it warm up a little before hand. If this is happening when it has been warmed up, perform the clutch adjustment. Easy to do and @PistonHonda made a video that shows you how. Had to do mine and wish I had done it the day I brought it home, shifts a lot better now. As for being stranded, there is a tool under the drivers seat for manually shifting.
