[QUOTE="12tinker, post: 1398923, member: 90324"] Hello South Bay Don, I have the same bike and know just a bit about the shift issue. The way to approach the problem is to ensure that the switch is indeed the culprit. There's a diagnostic procedure for it by reading the voltage at the switch while back probing the connector, see manual as it's all in there. Perhaps the "Shop" didn't do this and just replaced the switch in the same position. Make sure the battery voltage never drops of spec while testing for the proper voltage for positioning the switch. This is kinda the same thing on a throttle position switch on many cars and bikes with fuel injection. As soon as it gets out of range, both the handlebar and foot switch cease to function. With the ignition on and not charging with these bikes, it will not take long. Sure it wasn't just a bad battery from the start. Hook up a charger, and volt meter and see if the problem goes away before checking that switch. ps. never remove the screw on the outside of the foot shifter bracket before removing the switch. Also, good time to lube the shift pedal and linkages. Remember that brake pedal. That damn thing will ruin everything, Ha! Good luck and get back to us with your results! [/QUOTE]
