I checked out that diamod black shift rod, it runs a little over $100. When my friends told me HD stands for hundred dolla, they wasn't BSn. Well I can only hope that just $100 will fix it. I just found out the local dealer charges $65 an hour with a 4 hour minimum to diagnose a problem. Oh well it's only money right, I can't take it with me.

That 4 min would suck in my mind.. don't think any of our local dealer do that.
the 07's did have a clunk on start up but not a grinding noise..
some installed the SE compensator, I read up on it and found that most of it could also be tuned out when dynoed, which I had done and it helped remove 90% of the start up clunk.

The dealer wants $450 for a dyno session. Said it takes 8 hours of intensive labor...They also mentioned that it has a screamin eagle exhaust and breather, it's also been flashed or programmed to take advantage of them. Not sure if it was just a standard tune or custom, probably the former.

shift issues.
I had a similar sounding problem when i installed a new shift linkage. the linkage it self was to tight, it seemed to get worse when it was hot. i made sure all the movable joints were not tight and lubed them with wd 40. haven't had a problem since , that was 2 years ago.

Can't argue with the end result. As I said, mine shifts like a metric now.

First thing to do is take the shift lever off the foot rest and clean and grease the pivot, I dont remember which year they stopped putting grease fittings on the shaft, but thats what happened to my 07, a few downpours" ok more than a few and multiple hours riding in rain, and salt covered roads" and thats all it took. If you have access to simple hand tools drill a hole from underneath and install a zerk in there also.

Follow the shift rod all the way back to the lever that is between the transmission case and the inner primary, see if that lever is loose.
