Downshift issue (kind of)
Hi all: I may have an issue with downshifting of '08 fatboy. If I am in one of the higher gears, and I pull in the clutch and continue to move down thru the gears (without engaging the clutch) every now an then the tranny will not let me move down to another gear. If I bump the clutch just a little I can continue.
let me try another example: I am on 6th, pull in clutch, press down of forward shifter - click now if 5th 5th - press down - click - 4th 4th - press down - click - 3rd 3rd - press down - nothing, press again, nothing, bump clutch then try again - click Is this a sign of needing a clutch adjustment? Chris. |
Hi sounds like you might need to get to a shop sounds like a problem with tranny possable gear problem. Good luck .

Does it do this when the bike is moving or sitting still? I've had to bump the clutch on every Harley if trying to down shift while stopped.

Have U EVER oiled Ur shift shafts..
sometimes they need it, I oil mine at least 1@ yr, usually in the spring.. other than that U may need to adjust Ur shifting linkage. . |

If you just replaced part of the shift linkage it is probably safe to say that will be the cause of your problem. Did it happen before the swap??
As far as how to adjust it, sorry, no info here. Good luck with the fix. I had a tranny problem this winter. Wouldnt down shift to first gear. Turned out to be a snapped spring in the shifter prawl. |
