Honda VTX 1300 discussion forum:Crunchy shifting |

| Can somebody help me out here? I’ve got a 2007 VTX 1300R, purchased new. Took it in for the 600 mile initial service. Got about 2500 miles on it now. It shifts like s^#*. Pretty much always has. I mean, I can hardly shift up using my toes. I have to shift up using my heel. You guys and girls know, it’s got the toe/heel shifter. Anyway, it’s damned annoying to practically have to stomp on the friggin’ shifter to get it to shift. This is shifting up and down, just super crunchy. Lots of times I can’t get it to go into neutral, from first or second gear. Then, lots of times, trying to go from first to second it sticks in neutral. No kidding. Then at times it sticks in neutral. I’ve got to release the clutch lever and rock the damned thing back and forth a few times to get it to go into first. That’s just not safe on these Phoenix intersections, with some idiot roaring up behind me, trying to make love to my rear fender. Anyway, enough whining. Sorry about that but man, I’ve had it. Any ideas from any of you out there???? I took it to the dealership. Left it all day. Picked it up at the end of the day and got the old, “Yeah, we drove it around the block a couple times and it’s fine.” Thanks for any help. Mikey. |
