Default 6 speed gear box/ street bob

Has anybody had a problem with the gear box on a 2006 street bob? my problem is that when i try to change down it&nbsp\\;appears that the gear has not engaged properly and there is nothing there..i then have to flick the shifter with my foot and it will latch in....any ideas?

Do you have forwards? The linkage on my kurys got a little sticky and wd-40 got it all smooth again.

sometimes i have to "spool" the motor up to line up the dogs on downshifting
&nbsp\\;
spool= spin up, rev, etc.

There was a recall on the early 06s built between June and November 2005.&nbsp\\; The recall was prompted because the Dynas were showing they were in neutral when they actually weren't or they jumped into gear.&nbsp\\; I'm not sure if this is related to your problem, but thought I'd post.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I have specific info on the recall.&nbsp\\; If you would like it, post your e-mail address.&nbsp\\; You can check Harley's website to see if your ride is one which was recalled.
