Hey all,

I’m new here to both the forums and motorcycles. I picked up my first ride yesterday, 2016 Dyna Street Bob. Rode it around locally before the purchase and it ran strong. When I got on the freeway, I got up to around 70-80mph smoothly in just 3rd gear. Then I noticed I couldn’t shift past third gear at all. But at 3rd gear, it runs as if it’s in 6th gear already. No redlining, and really smooth. The fastest I went was 90 and there didn’t seem to be any problems. The gear speeds are as follows: 1st gear can get up to 30mph, 2nd to around 50mph, and 3rd gear starts around 60mph and literally all speeds after that, 3rd gear can hit. The used dealership I purchased from is closed today and it’s bothering me so I was just hoping to get some feedback because I’ve never heard of such a situation and can’t find anything on it. Just want to know if anyone has heard of this and if it will negatively affect the bike. Thanks

 

where are the RPM's when you hit 80?

 

I think the bike is posessed by demons, better have it exorcised...

 

90 in 3rd? That's a REAL Screamin' Eagle!

 

 

Sounds like on of them bikes that when you let off the brakes the wheels start spinning almost instantly...

 

"Then I noticed I couldn’t shift past third gear at all."

Clarification request: Are you saying you cannot engage 4th-6th gears?

"...and literally all speeds after that, 3rd gear can hit."

Ditto: What does this mean?
