[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1334464, member: 13519"] How would you describe this EXACTLY? Is it always and only upshifts from 3rd to 4th? Does it almost feel like a "popping;" like it is banging against something? Mostly on hard upshifts, and even then, not always, but sometimes enough that you miss 4th and end up still in 3rd? I've had an issue like that for about 40k miles now. NO issues with other gears, and it's on and off, like one dog has a burr on it and every now and then it catches. The rest of the time, it's super smooth. The only time it catches me is if I sort of shift lazily. The if it happens, it may prevent me from taking 4th. That hasn't happened in a LONG time. It also has not gotten any worse during that time. I took it to my dealer twice while still under warranry, and they said they couldn't find an issue. I have lubed the shifter, bled the clutch, soaked my clutch, and cussed at it. None of that has made any difference. IF what I described is what you have, I think you're the only other bike besides mine with that issue. I have a 2007, and I first noticed it around 20k miles, on my home from Tennessee. Is this what you have going on? [/QUOTE]
