did you change grips by any chance? Check to see if the shoe is still in the housing

I just found out that my 'shoe' was broken. It's actually called a "Friction Spring" - should be called a friction shoe. Anyway, I checked my local Harley dealer and he had NINE in stock. That should tell you something. Pretty darned good bet that yours is broken too. They are just a little curved piece of plastic with a hole in the middle. That is where it breaks.
