How do I know if my Harley transmission is bad?
Another sign to look for is if your gear shifts are hard. This means you hear an unpleasant clunking sound and may even feel a bit of a jerk coming from the bike when you are shifting during a ride. This is caused by worn plates which are not separating enough to engage into a different gear.

Why does my Harley Davidson have hesitation and chugging?
It feels as if it’s not getting gas sprayed into the cylinders and it’s hesitating. It’s the FI model but I also left it uncovered out in the rain due to a biker rally here in NC for a week. See if you have any stored codes. If no codes are logged, I would empty the tank and refill with fresh fuel. Using dry gas or additives is a waste of time.
Why is my Evo missing at high revs?
