Has anyone ever had trouble finding 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gear when downshifting? When I downshift from 6th to 5th to 4th, I feel it click into gear each time, no problem.
When I try to downshift to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st, it refuses to click into gear but if I keep trying over and over it will eventually downshift without feeling it click.
I just bought this bike an hour ago (it has 45 miles on the odometer) but this isn't my first 2020 Fat Bob. I put over 6,000 miles on my first one with no issues whatsoever.
Does this sound like I need a shifter pawl adjustment?

are you letting the clutch out to engage the gear as you downshift in each gear? I had some issues if I tried to downshift multiple gears at once. I barely let the clutch out now in every gear on the way down and have never had a problem since then.
