| Take your bike to the shop and have them check the cable bracket if it's bent. My bike was acting like the clutch was heading south but Kyle worked his magic on the bracket and all is good. |

| stop with the BS on how many wiles on the oil. Oil has nothing to do with bike shifting good or bad. Oil does not cause bad shifting lazy foot does |

I get "notchy" shifting on my Rocket 3 when it approaches end of life with oil. This is a symptom of oil losing it's lubricating characteristics. However in this particular case; I cannot offer the same conclusion. |

Pittsburgh, PA | willtill just about everyone on here gets notchy shifting when its time for a oil change.. i guess some don't know about it.. LOL next thing it will be, the type of boots you wear., OR saying you need to go to a chiropractor for weak shifting due to Sciatic nerve issues....
my kawasaki was the same way. when it was "time for a oil change" man.... the shifting got stiff.. is that the case in this situation? Who knows... i can say the incorrect weight of oil was used.. (at least according to my owners manual) but to say. oil Cant have Anything to do with it is about as mindless as saying, bad gas has Nothing to do with a poor running engine... i cant remember the answer to this one... what is the life blood of our Motorcycles again ??

| <p><strong>Now that YOU told me off</strong>. Have you checked the shifter heims for being worn out. Are they in need of lubing. Is there a lot of side to side play in the shifter arm. You might need bushing and you can buy them from witchdoctor. If there good then your going to have to pull the primary and look inside</p>
