Heel shift man,bang those gears. Severe Gear helps a lot too.

 

What he said! Get some good oil in there and use that heal shifter!

 

Put some Redline Shockproof in the Tranny.

Can't understand why a person who had a heelshifter would not use it ....
Just don't get it.

 

no heel shifter on the bike YET will be soon. And new oil going in very soon at the 65k service. While we are at it any other suggestions for this rookie? with that many miles should i be running Synthetic?

 

Some of us dont like them!

 

There wasn't a heel shifter on the bike when I bought the bike.

 

if it dont have a heel shifter on it , i dont think you will be happy with one.. i wasnt .... it took too much floorboard space from me... plus i never figured out how to operate it,,, i didnt like tipi toing on the floorboard... easier to just raise toe than the hole foot

 

Well I just got to thinking and I think it was set up with a heel toe. Would explain the Chrome ring between the shifter and tranny housing that is rattling around. thats annoying hearing that all day. I do agree on the floorboard space I dont think I would like it.

 

I would not recomend putting in anything but regular gear oil.

 

Never figured it out? heel shifting is a hell of a lot easier and more comfortable than pushing up through the gears. I don't think you even tried ... seemed to foriegn or something?
