[QUOTE="Capt. Bob, post: 386239, member: 2851"] From your post it seems you're no novice to motorcycles so please take this as such. Early on with my 06, I noticed something similar between 2nd and 3rd. I'd shift and get nothing (as you stated, air). I found that I wasn't allowing the shifter to return fully after the 1-2 shift and began pointing my toe down further after the shift. This seemed to help but was unnatural to me, so I adjusted the shifter to fit my boot (imagine that). With time, this also seem to lessen the tendency for this occurance. Don't know if this is what you're experiencing but I never down shifted, just let my boot drop till it was clear of the arm. Time and the rod adjustment helped me. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
