RE: Shifter Problem
I also had the same problem just recently. I removed both the toe and heal shifter, pushed theshaft shifters were on out, cleaned the bushing and lubed it. It completely salved the problem! I also loweredeach shifter down on notch. Made shifting a lot more comfortable for me.

Talk about good timing for a post, you guys just saved me a trip to the dealer. My 07 FXSTC started sticking tonight at about 3500 miles. Pushed the bushings out and cleaned and lubed everything, works fine now.

RE: Shifter Problem
Mine is doing the same thing right now, it only does it when I ride for a while on a real warm day, and stop for a few minutes. After that it sticks up and down on me for a little while until I ride it some more. Called the dealer and they said
it is a common problem, and easy fix.....now I gotta just get time and a dry day to take it up there to have them fix it!

RE: Shifter Problem
hello,
does anybody know if H-D is owning up to this issue? sounds like a design flaw to me.
