I know that Harleys shift hard and noisy. Mine shifts like butter when cold. No noise or first gear jump at all. Let the puppy come up to temperature and it's a different story. Jumps when put into first, and clangs/bangs it way up thru sixth...Same story when downshifting.
Clutch has been adjusted several times by dealer and he says all is normal.. Something is changing when it heats up. I know things expand when hot, but what could be doing this to cause the change in shifting?
Would appreciate any and all thoughts.
