Shifting Problems
I just installed a new HD front foot controlls on my 09 FXD so last Saturday I was running it hard with a lot of stop and go when I started having trouble shifting the gears. Only thing I thought may be the cause was the high engine heat maybe ? After it cooled down for about 30min. everything worked fine all the way home. Wil they do that sometimes when they get hot ? There was a new lever that came with the fowards kit i didn't use because it looked just like the one that was on it (the one behind the primary cover)what do you guys think ?

Stock engine and never done it before. No clutch smell but Maybe I do need to check the clutch adjustment ? I have 4,200 miles on it. maybe I should put that lever on also, I just thought they were the same

+1 on the clutch adjustment, not just the cable! Also, you may want to adjust your shift pawl, escpecially if youre having troubles only when up-shifting, or vice versa (downshifting). Need more info besides "hard to shift" ......
