Default Transmission Pops down!!!

2007 Softail Custom, 9300 miles, great shape; when throttling up in 2nd, then shifting to third, still adding throttle, will sometimes pop down to 2nd; suprising and all on its own, any ideas?

been going on since it was new, pivot has been cleaned; not hitting the shifter or anything...

something inside, cant be a worn part..on a new bike?

There is an artical in AIM mag this month about adjusting the shifter linkage. If things are OK inside may just need adjusting.

Might check it out.
Probably in a service manual also.
