[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 188392, member: 2409"] Weather forecast for coming week is really good so should be able to get some rides in. I must say that, in the couple of short rides I've taken, I'm not liking the way it shifts through the gears. Not sure if it is trans or clutch that is the problem. Shifting and finding neutral seem better at beginning of rides but get worse as everything warms up. I was reading another thread about the scavenger pump not draining the oil that builds up around the clutch and causing drag. This would cause the hard neutral find but it should still shift OK when riding right? When I shift when riding I have to pull up on the shifter very positively but even then sometimes it slips out under acceleration. Much different than my 1100 engine where I can snick through the gears like a proper motorcycle. Pretty sure the ratchet mechanism behind the front cover is working right because it tries to shift each time but can't seem get the gears to mesh. Seems like the pins that are supposed to slide along the channels in the shift drum are not sliding smoothly. Note: I'm running Rotella T5 semi-synthetic 15-40 oil. Any thoughts on hard shifting. Thanks in advance. Brian [/QUOTE]
