jm1515 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 04 Roadster, 21800mi... Lately, maybe once or twice a ride, the shifter will flop around after going into 5th...you can move it up and down (just like after engaging 6th gear) but the bike is definitely in 5th gear. Probably happened 6~8 times in the last year. No audible noise or such, and the 4th-to-5th change is smooth. Just that the shifter flops around. I lower the revs and after a couple of seconds it drops in, solid as usual. It does this only in the 4th>5th change. The shifter looks to be adjusted OK, and everything seems tight down there. Any ideas?? HES? PTR?? What?? Link to comment
Ken H. Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 If you're sure it's not loose external linkage, a bent or worn internal shift lever is the next best guess. Unfortunately = high $$. Sorry. Link to comment
jm1515 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanx, Ken...I guess. You think I should park the bike until it gets repaired?? I mean...given the fact that the bike is in 5th (how solidly I dunno) when this happens...what's the chance that it will pop out of gear? It's an 04...26months old & 22k miles. I don't beat on it by any stretch so I'm thinking it should be a warrantee thing... Link to comment
