Gear Shifting on My Honda 750 Shadow

by Ed
(Streamwood, IL, USA.)

I have a 2008 Honda 750 Shadow. Since the last year that I bought it started to shift a little hard between the gears. I took it to the dealer to ask them about it and the service manager road it to check it out but he said that it was normal wear. I've owned many bikes in the past and this was never a problem. It just doesn't seem right. I've adjusted the clutch cable and there is enough play on both ends of the cable lever.

2008 Honda Shifting

At a higher idle when I shift into first gear it clunks hard...this is not normal for a new bike and not good....I've adjusted clutch and it helps a bit...I've heard that the tranny bolts work loose but the dealer wont tell you that...it will also make noise when in first gear...accelerating and deaccelerating....and the warranty aint worth a shit..honda must do better if they want return customers. Tighten everything up then give her a go then if it dont work save your money for dealer work.

You might try shifting at lower RPMs. The suggested speeds for shifting are in the manual.
