[QUOTE="smokinjryan, post: 950677, member: 28474"] I found this were not the case on my bike. My shifter would drag and not return to it's normal position after some shifts. I pulled everything apart cleaned, greased and torqued to proper specs only to still have the problem. I took the assembly apart again and backed the bolt off and reassembled much better. Like you I thought shoulder would bottom and prevent the bolt from causing a drag on the shifter. So I thought there could be tolerance issue with the bolt or one of the washers. Another thing I noticed was a metal sleeve pressed into part #25 which the bolt goes through did not appear to be pressed in completely. An extra length here could prevent the the shoulder of the bolt from hitting bottom. I honestly don't know if the sleeve is correct or not. I decided to flatten the wave washer amap apply some blue loctite to the bolt and not torque to spec. It's been good for the last 10K miles. This is not a recommendation, just what worked for me. Did the same exact thing... [/QUOTE]
