Brighton, TN | roll throttle up to around 1000 rpm and it should slip right in. |

Davenport, IA | Just as Pollolittle said, roll on throttle a bit while pulling in clutch and downshift at same time. Sometimes it's a matter of finding that sweet spot when to downshift. |

Cleveland, GA | Mine was doing something similar around 60,000 or so. It was a bent shift fork. |

LaGrange, GA | Are you trying to downshift while slowing down to a stop, or are you coming to a stop and then trying to click down from high gears to first while sitting still? If the latter, that's very commonly difficult on every bike ever made. If the dogs on the side of the gear isn't in a proper position to engage the side of the next gear, it just won't go in. If neither are spinning, that's just what you get. The easy solution is to let the clutch out a bit so that it tugs you forward a bit to get things into slightly different alignment. On every bike I've had before this I'd just instinctively roll it forward a hair with my other leg to get things to jive, but that's not as easy with this 900lb monster. |
