I had my 883 Iron for about 2 to 3 weeks now new and sometime when I take off in 1st I'll go to kick up to 2nd and I'll release clutch and end up in 3rd. This has been happening here and there since I got it but I thought that maybe I wasn't paying attention but it happened 3 times at one point so I know it wasn't me. Can someone tell me if they had this problem and what they think it is thanks. Taken her to the dealer tomorrow just like a little about something when I there thanks.

If your bike is new, take it back to the dealership. Or take it to an indie shop if it's not.

I'm taking it back just wondering what's going to happen to my baby and how long she going to be away from me.
