I just got my 1000 mile service and added all synthetic oil. When I had gotten about 30 miles from dealer I noticed that the bike would not shift into 5th gear even though the foot shifter indexed the same stroke. Has anyone had a similar experience? I called the dealer and asked if they adjusted shift linkage and they said they would not have adjusted it unless there was a problem. It will be awhile before I can get back to dealer. Any HELP???? Thanks

 

Dont think it is the oil.

You might have a warrenty issue.

Good luck,

I would have turned that thing around and headed right back!!!! Keep us posted as to what turns up!!!

 

make sure the heel shifter is tight and the bolt goes through the notch, mine came loose a couple weeks ago and it was hell getting in any gear, my heel shifter now lives with the fishes and a purdy chome cover is in its place

 

As does mine...

Had a similar problem on my '02 Fat Boy where it would sorta hang between gears and the shifter would just sort of flop around. I don't go to my local HD dealer because they're idiots, but I went to the local bike repair place that does all my work. From what I recall they took things apart, sanded down a shaft and then lubed and put it back together. Fixed it nicely and no problems a few thousand miles later.
