How do you tell if your clutch is slipping on a motorcycle?
If the clutch slips a lot the bike revs up faster than normal but doesn’t move so you would be forced to shift through the gears rather quickly. If the clutch was worn out entirely you couldn’t move at all without feathering the throttle and clutch. The slipping clutch, even when slight, is pretty obvious.
Why are the gears on my bike not shifting?
The gear refusing to shift is the most common problem with a very simple solution – indexing. When indexed properly, the gears shift one after the other with ease. If you are skipping gears and facing problems, the indexing is to blame.
Can a motorcycle upshift into 3rd or 4th gear?
Clutch engages, shifter clicks up as normal… but bike stays in 3rd gear just revving high. Try again, no dice. 3rd time, hit the shifter REALLY hard and it goes into 4th. Ride a few miles in 4th, afraid to try 5th.
Can a Shimano front derailleur shift into third?
The front shifter is a Shimano integrated brake-and-shift assembly. The front derailleur “groupo” is Shimano SIS. I can pull the cable to make the derailleur shift into third but the shifter doesn’t have “enough throw” to do it via the shifter.
Why does my upshift not go into gear?
Thanks Gumby No no drops or anything like that, and it clicks up normally. If you feel it clicking into gear, but it’s not actually going in, I suspect transmission problems. There’s probably not going to be a quick fix for this one. Thankfully, you have a warranty.

Is there a shifter pawl adjustment for a twin cam?
There is not a shifter pawl adjustment for your Twin Cam. Disconnect your shift linkage from the transmission shift arm. If you still can not correctly shift through the gears, your issue is within the transmission.
