Sandbagger Posted May 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2011 I have a 2000 RSV. Suddenly yesterday it was very difficult to downshift. Upshifting with my heel remained easy. Seemed to be easier to downshift if I was at lower speeds. After riding for several hours it worked back to normal. If it is a linkage issue any idea how I would adjust it? Doesn't seem that it would be an internal issue because I didn't feel or hear anything. Thanks for your thoughts. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyRich Posted May 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2011 I'd take a good close look at the shifter linkage for sure to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
