Gear selection problem '08 Road King (dangerous)
Wondering if anybody has had this problem on the '08 RK, if so, what dealer or HD is doing/not doing (dealer has said that no Svc. Bulletin exists yet): intermittently when shifting it will seem to go into Neutral or will end up in almost any gear, randomly. Dangerous. My main interest is how many have had this issue (as I know of a few others) and whatyou have experienced as to approach HD has/will be taking. Not saying I have a gripe (now) with HD, in fairness to them. Thanks, Steve

Many rides I've had would sometimes demonstrate a false neutral between 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th. Never had a ride that would go from say 2nd to 5th without driver error (Mine not yours). If it occurs in the general experience I'm sure others will chime in. Good Luck.

I know this probably isn't your problem but there is an outside chance this might help you.
Let us know what you find.
