I was in first gear idling at a stop light. While I had the clutch pulled in as I was ever so slightly letting it out the 6th gear indicator was flickering on and off. If is let it out just enough I could get it to stay on!

Hmmmmmm....

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I know it's under warranty so let the shop check it out. It has only happened once that I can remember so if it keeps on happening I will take it in.

 

08 FLHT and I've never had that happen. I usually put it in neutral when I stop at a light though. I'm gonna try it when I get off work.

 

It's good practice to put her in 1st with the "clutch in" to be ready for a quick "get away" (evasive maneuver) from somone coming up from behind etc. Thats why most riders have the bike in gear. It's a smart thing to do.

 

im always in first at a stop light.

 

??? I never put it in neutral sitting at a light? Unless I know I'm gonna be there for awhile( train, traffic congestion, etc...)

 

My 6th Gear light NEVER comes on. I wonder why that is :-)

Anyone come up with a simple way to "know" exactly what gear you ARE in motoring down the road? I often lose track (because my mind ain't on that) and at times it would be nice to know if you were in , say 4th versus 5th or 3rd versus 4th etc.

 

Its called a Tach for a reason....just sayin......as I whistle away.........

 

I've never heard of this, but I noticed that when little things like that happened on my RKC, the speedometer sensor was starting to go. I can't say that is the problem here, if you start seeing your speedo flicker or the cruise act funny, pull the sensor and clean it.

Just a thought.

Well I don't usually sit at a stop light or stop sign with bike in neutral. Haven't seen that happen yet with the Ultra and I asked my wife about her Heritage and she said she had never seen it.
