Default 2015 flhr
I have a 2015 flhr 2100 miles on it.
when I am at around 75 mph and I crack it
to pass or accelerate strong, the motor goes from 6 gear to 5th gear for about 3 seconds then back to 6th. Any thoughts?

thanks!

It actually shifts gears or the indications change?

Both. The revs go up and then return as with the gear indicator

Sounds like the clutch may be slipping. I would doubt that it's actually downshifting.
