Shifter problem
Has anyone had the problem where the shifter shaft has stripped out? headed out to work and when I went to hit 2nd, the toe shift lever was on the floor board. luckily I was in driveway and was able to pull back into garage. found the front arm that attaches to the shaft on the back side of the primary to the shift linkage rod had stripped out. I was able to rotate the shaft and get some new splines to grab between the 2. 10k service Wednesday and hoping dealer will replace.

What are you implying?
Which one stripped?
The arm that shares the spline shaft with the shift levers?
or
The arm that is on the backside of the primary?
I have heard of that problem in years past but never experienced it myself. I have an Amber Whiskey and Vivid Black bike.

The way it is posted or rather "implied" from your comment is that there is a correlation?
Did I read this wrong and were you offended by my question to you?
