    2018 fjr shifting problems

    I'm wearing my same old riding boots. Snowing here today. I adjusted the shift lever all the way to upper line. As soon as I ride it again I'll post results. This thing shifts like it just rolled out of a cave compared to my Bonneville. If it persists I'll take it to the shop and let them try...

    Funky Shifting

    I have 1000 miles on my 2018 es and the shifting is driving me crazy. It was much better before the first service. Sometimes I cant downshift and some times I cant up shift. I can up shift every time I think about it and really push it in. There are no unusual sounds other than the normal clunking.

    2018 fjr shifting problems

    It has just had it's first service and on the ride home I did not notice anything unusual. But when I took it out today it seems like I had an issue at least 10 times. Sometimes the gear indicator is just blank.

    2018 fjr shifting problems

    I keep hitting dead spots( won't go into next gear) up shifting and down shifting. Sometimes I have to double clutch to get it to go to the next gear. Anybody have any similar issues?

    Why I Love My Fjr

    I almost did it the other day. I pulled the diesel nozzle and kept pushing the regular gas button and nothing would happened . That is when a realized how close I came to doing something lunkheaded. I wish they wouldn't put the diesel and the gas on the same pump.

    My new FJR

    I just took a short ride on mine. 42 degrees here in Ohio and I was very comfortable thanks to the heated grips and cold weather gear. It was a nice ride.
