Dude I completely love your videos. I have done all the maintenance on my 04 Road King to your stuff and I have always came out perfect. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us that have to take care of our bikes outside of Harley you ROCK! Mine was just as loose as yours was and it is tight as a drum now.
I'm glad it all worked out. I know how rewarding it is to work on your machine and resolve an issue. Loose part oily it all is very rewarding. Thank you for your kind words and all your support Jack. Ride safe and have a great day. I love my Road King.
My shifter was terribly loose but the bolt was super tight.
It must have slowly vibrated loose after 22,000 miles I guess.
I am glad I watch your excellent video and thank you.
Happy to Help, sure the shifting arm on the transmission is fully set in place and then tighten. Thank you for watching and your Sub Pigrolls. Ride Safe and have a great day.
This is what I believe happened to me today. Will check it in the morning. Thank you for an excellent video.
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and yourself Xavier. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day it is an easy fix.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. My shifter stopped working earlier today and hopefully your method will resolve it.
Happy to help. Let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and all your support Scott. Ride safe and have a great day. Love my Road King. But I was sad with the shifter, shouldn't be soft metal.
By luck your video came up first in my search for this problem on my eglide... You nailed it! Sloppy shifter no more. Thanks brother 😁
Happy to read all went well. Thank you for watching and your sob Rob. Ride safe and have a great day.
Righteous! Just got back from riding in the mountains in Robbinsville, N.C., rode The Dragons Tail at Deals Gap, 318 curves in 11 miles! Rock on bro!
Sounds like a Great Time. Thank you for your Support Randall. Ride Safe and have a great day.
You completed an excellent tutorial on how to tighten up the rear shift arm. So much appreciated! Take care and ride safe.
Happy to help. Any questions just ask thank you for watching and all your support Rob. Ride safe and have a great day.
I just did this fix on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra. Taking off the left side rider heat shield and disconnecting the front of the toe shifter linkage rod gives plenty of room to make it happen. On my bike the bolt is a 5/16-24x1” hex head not a socket head/Allen bolt, so I used a 1/2” socket. Other than that I did exactly what you did in the video and it worked perfectly. Thanks Rocco!
Happy all went well. You got me nervous as I was reading.. Hope this ends well. Thank you for watching and all your support Rick. Ride safe and have a great day .

Thanks for another preventive maintenance tip and loctite will prevent needed maintenance for a pretty good spell ! Well done Rocco
Sure hope so Dan, Thank you for your Support Bud. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Ive just started watching your videos. You got great videos. Your videos have helped me out very much. I just came back from a ride and the shifter link is loose. Now thanks to you i can attend to that issues. Keep up the great videos and ur knowledge
Happy to Help, Any questions just ask. Thank you for your Sub Paul. Let us know how this works out. Ride Safe and have a great Thanksgiving..
@@TwoWheelRocco The shift lever is great now with the loctite thanks for your videos. One other question. I removed all the clutch plates replace with new set. When you remove all the plates there are 2 rings one is flat and the other is dished. I know the flat ring goes first then the second one the dished ring not sure which side to put it. Should that dished ring be oval towards the plates or oval towards the hub side. If you would know. Thanks
@@paulyvstar7924 Happy to read all went well. Oval towards the hub side. If you would know. Thank you for your Support Paul. Let us know how this worked out. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Excellent video. I would change the bolt if you find it that loose. The threads get chewed and do not hold as well as they could potentially. Cheap to replace the bolt. Chapstick Loctitie cannot beat it. :-) Great channel.
Happy to help. And you are right, changing the bolt and using the chapstick Loctite cannot be beat. Thank you for watching, and your kind words and the tip. Ride safe and have a great day.
Great video. Love the NY / NJ accent. Doing this rear shift shaft fix tomorrow. Wish me luck. Pretty loose but no oil leak yet.
Happy to help. If you're not leaking any oil, I would not venture into that repair until you leak oil. Try to tighten the shifter,. I know it could be difficult but if you get it in the right position, you should like to results. Thank you for watching and all your support Steve. Ride safe and have a great day. That's the luck from New York.
Exactly what was wrong with my 🎉05 Ultra Classic ..eventually I'm going to replace the whole shifter on her ..(new splines and all) Thanks for the video Brother.
Happy to help. Thank you for watching and all your support Charlie. Ride safe and have a great day. Any questions just ask.
I think a lot of loose shifter levers are due to people shifting into 1st gear like they're trying to crush an empty beer can.
I have to agree. People are hard on their first gear shift. Thank you for watching and all your support Joe. Ride safe and have a great day
I never find 1st gear until I'm totally stopped and then place the trans in 1st it always goes in easily with no problem. I'm running a 98 Dyna with 33,000 miles, no loose linkage or shifting arm problems and no oil leaks at the shift shaft. Every spring I lightly oil all moving parts that need lube and check and tighten every bolt that needs attention. This takes me about 2 days to complete and the piece of mind I get is worth it alone not to mention that at 63 years old setting on the side of the road is not an option. I treat all my bikes the same way and none have let me down at any time ever. Enjoyed the video thanks.
For foots sake, please replace the bolt! Preferably a grade 8 hex head with a lock washer! Just not worth saving a dollar and reuse a worn out bolt! And please understand that on a six speed bike, there is adequate clearance to remove the lever and replace it. Don't let the dealership remove your primary just to install a new lever. But on five speeds, the primary has to be removed to replace the lever
Happy to Help, at six quiz done almost 2 years ago never had another problem. But it is a problem with most of these baby twins with Miles, Thank you for watching and your sub Shimaze . Ride Safe and have a great day.

Happy to Help, Any questions just ask. Let us know how it works out. Thank you for your Sub David . Ride Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Just bought a 2005 Road King Classic with 30K miles on it. Great shape apart from the loose shifter. Found this video and
was excited to fix it. Just came in from the garage and it looks like the bolt is as tight as it can be. Not going get any tighter. So I am assuming it has to be a worn shaft that is causing the play, and not a loose bolt. Dang! Still feel lucky to have the bike. :)
Sorry to hear about that. The shaft on the transmissions is made out a hardened steel. So it will be the arm that is worn. Try to loosen and retighten with a 1/2 ratchet. I know it gets a little uncomfortable and you do not feel won't to snap it, but that's what I had to do take a close look at the video. I am using 1/2 drive Thank you for watching and all your support David.. Ride safe and have a great day.
Can you use like a shim if lever stripped to take up space so it well tighten? Pluse hate Allen head one slip it stripped
I have a '22 Lowrider S and just started experiencing a loose shift linkage. Maybe not as loose as yours but it's taking longer on the upshift to catch gears in a solid way. Hopefully it's as simple as this. Worse case- it's under factory warranty. Thanks for posting this.
Happy to help. I would use that warrant my friend. That's too new for any sort of problems. Thank you for watching. And your support Rolling Reaper. Any questions just ask. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.

F me it worked, I watched it and I thought shit that isn’t going to work,damn good tip thanks
Happy to read all is well. . They designed that to fail. Thank you for watching and your sub Terry. Ride safe and have a great day.
Rocco is putting blue loctite on the linkage bolt a good idea especially if you need to replace it in the future.
I would agree, it could only help. Thank you for watching and all your support. Ride safe and have a great day.
Sometimes the spline on the lever gets worn to the point where no matter how tight the bolt is the lever will need to be replaced. It's a bit of a job because the inner primary needs to come off because there is not enough room to remove the lever otherwise. While your in there you might as well replace the seals.
Happy to Help, What bike and how many miles? just suggesting. After loosening the Allen head. Tried to put a screwdriver to wedge that lever closer and then tighten with a swivel and extension use a half inch drive ratchet. Worth to try, you'll see you will get more surface area for that shaft to tighten to. if you look close it will walk in and out watch the video put a wedge in there, I used screwdriver. wedge the side of loosened lever in. I've done this a few time, And I find that helps a lot. Thank you for watching and your Sub Joe. Let us know how it works out. Ride Safe and have a great day
Remember the other option is a five hour job and special tools. I have replaced my transmission seal. $2 part, I love these bikes, But damn.
Love your videos I was thinking of putting a dab of loctite 660 on shaft before clamping
Happy to help. Let us know how that works out. Thank you for watching and all your support Simon. Ride safe and have a great day.
I have a 2011 FLHX and when i follow your instructions i don't see that l/4 inch allen head, could it be different on my bike. But i will look again just incase i missed it..Thank you

Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub Dan. Ride safe and have a great day.
You may not even hv an oil leak from the tranny seal. That oil on the tranny near that area is also from the the vent line from the transmission)a little further back. The TC don’t really hv any pressure problems in the tranny (like the new M8), because the TC are vented. The hose goes up and forms a small downward “U” . The excess is just vented down toward that area. FYI.
Also, I noticed you installed the shifter linkage with the heim joints. Did you have any issues with the linkage not running as “parallel” to the motor (ie have an offset)? I installed similar linkage and notice the offset is a bit more than with the stock linkage. I even attached it to the other side of the front pedal shaft to compensate for the offset, but it still was a bit much. I ended up using a larger bolt with some washers as spacers to even it out. Was wondering if you had similar issues? Thanks in advance. Great vid 👍😎
No I had no problems. Thank you for watching and your sub S A. Ride Safe and have a great day.
I've got this exact problem right now on an 03 wide glide

Rocco, fkn A man, your the best. I just went to harbor freight, bout those long Allen keys, tightened that shift lever right up, now it's tight as prom night. I was so worried, this took me like 10 minutes. Love you bro.

@@gregleonard7391 Happy to read all went well. Happy Thanksgiving and have a great day.
Thanks for the great videos and information!
My question is my front shifter arm on my 05 Road King Classic keeps getting stripped out. I even tried the trick from one of your videos, to open the gape to make it tighter on the splines, that didn't work out for me unfortunately it became loose and stripped out again.
Do they make a main shifter rod that makes the front and rear shifters stationary, so the splines don't keep getting stripped out? You would think they would make something like a bolt or cotter pin to go through the main shifter rod to make it stationary so it doesn't keep getting stripped out. No? Am I thinking totally crazy here or missing something? Im not a mechanic, so please bear with my question. Thank you.
You need to cut that slot in your shifter to give you more room to clamp down on the spline. That is the answer and it will work. Let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and your sub Tony. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco like I had just mentioned, I had already tried that and it went right back to being stripped.
@@Silentdrum71 Sorry to hear that. Try to buy one off eBay used. There's a good return policy if it's bad. The dealer are no good. Let us know how that works out.
Nice I hope I get the same results mine no oil on the ground it's just sloppy
Happy to help. Just be patient and have the right tools and everything will work out. Thank you for watching and your support Charles. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out.
The oil residue could be the transmission vent tube
Happy to help. Thank you for your insight and your support Greg. There's not much heat in the transmission as you noticed when you change the oi, but you are OKl it's never really black but that shifter bearing sits halfway in oil so you have a seal for that shifter rod, and that tends to fail, and especially when you got a loose shifter arm. Harley thing. Thank you for watching and all your support Greg. Ride safe and have a great day. Love my Road King. But I have changed that seal twice. I got 50,000 miles.
Well done.
Happy to Help, Thank you for your Support. Ride Safe and have a great day.
How long can you ride on it like that? I have been having a hell of a time shifting into first but that's the only gear I have a problem with. I have to really fight with it in first

Thank you
I fell off my 2020 softball standard on a nasty dirty narrow country round and landed on my lift side on the bike which caused my gear shift stick to come loose now it's all flimsy. Any idea if it's a strip bolt or anything?
Happy to help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub Michael. Ride safe and have a great day. Take a look at video. ath-cam.com/video/sP6GkIbJnyU/w-d-xo.html.
tried this method and it came loose again in 5 miles even with the new bolt, blue lock tight and tightening with lever bar .. .any other ideas how to fix>??
Sorry to hear that. The way I look at it is. The only way to fix it properly. Is to take the outer and inner primary. clutch and compensator off to get to that lever on the tranny. Thank you Harley Davidson. So I myself will give it another little wrenching. Try to get it as much on the shaft as you can, and with your half inch ratchet wrench her down. You have no other choices. If it breaks, you're going in there. I think it's a very poor design. Let us know how it works out. Thank you for watching and your support. TSM. Ride safe and have a great day.
Whats going on Rocco! I have quick question. I have a 2012 switchback with 103. It stalls when I down shift wile im still holding the clutch. Doesn't do it all the time. It start right up after it happens. Any ideas?
I would look at the intake dirty and clean IAC sensorH here's a video. th-cam.com/video/hzxxamT5HL8/w-d-xo.html. Might take more then one time. Let us know how this works out. Thank you for your Sub Theone. Any questions just ask. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco. I followed the video step by step throat was dirty cleaned everything. It stalled on me i was going about 50mph hit clutch to down shift and brake the bike just stalled. I guess it happens when it drop rmps quickly.
yes
@@TwoWheelRocco it is normal to stall when rpms drop to quickly.
No it is not. Reclean and add some seafoam to your gas tank. And take a long ride to help clean.
Nice Thank you for your help, is this work with Road Glide 2011?
Happy to help. Yes it will . Thank you for watching and your sub Mohammed. Ride safe and have a great day.
I just did this fix on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra. Taking off the left side rider heat shield and disconnecting the shifter linkage rod at the front/toe shifter will give you plenty of room. On my bike the bolt is a 5/16-24x1 hex head, not a socket head/Allen bolt, so I used a 1/2” socket. Other than that I did exactly what Rocco did in his video and it worked perfectly. Good luck!
Buy the bolt anyway, the threads are shot. The rear shifter arm has bad spline teeth as well.
I agree that's why you got a really really wrench down on it. You could buy a new bolt.. I looked at my threads, little blue Loctite and a little bit of luck and you will be all right. And you are right about the spline in the hardware bad set up with the spline.
Can you torque that little Allen head that much??
Happy to help. You will get a feel for it. I tightened it. Watch the video you will see, I reset the placement of the arm. Thank you for watching and all your support Rich. Ride safe and have a great day.
My rear shift arm is loose, the bolt feels tight straight away. Do I pull it out and re tighten or try tighten it more . It's never been out so I'm afraid to break it
Happy to help. Take a look at the video, I'm using the half-inch ratchet with extensions and pushing the arm into the shaft with big screw driver. if you take the bolt out and replace with a new one you got less chances of it breaking because of fatigue. What year is your bike? Thank you for watching and your soul Joe. Let us know how it works out. Take your time and you will get a quarter turned out of it with a half inch ratchet. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Thank you for your reply, I watched the video and I did see that 1/2 in. I'm gonna get a new bolt first before going fwd. It's a 2011 flhtc , Electraglide classic. 40,000 mi.
I'll keep u posted .
@@TwoWheelRocco HI Rocco, I took the chance that I did not use enough leverage on the bolt when I checked for looseness. I used a long handle 3/8 and pulled it tighter and it worked . Turned a little at a time till the play was gone . Thank u for the suggestion.
@@corecop happy to hear all went well. I know that loose shaky shifter is annoying. I do mine probably every 6 to 8 months I tighten it. Ride safe have a great day and thank you for watching.
Would it also cause the bike not to shift to 2nd
Happy to help. Does it shift into third and fourth and fifth? Any questions just ask let me know. Thank you for watching and all your support Tony. Ride safe and have a great day. Usually they loosen up and the shift is useless.
I noticed a lot of slack in the shift linkage only front to back not side to side i almost couldn't get it in to first will this work for the issue im having or do I need to check somewhere else I have an 03 Road king no heel to shifter.

@@TwoWheelRocco Hey Rocco thank you I have a small drimmel with a cutting wheel do you think that will be enough to do what you did in the video ?
I would use an electric cutting wheel. Let us know how it works out.
Hey Rocco I know its been awhile wanted to give you an update. Turns out the clutch pack burned out the rear shift shaft lever disconnected from the shifter pawl. And somehow I also lost some bearing in the process also the shifter spline was completely stripped.
Needless to say I had a decision to make and went with a 2017 low rider s. Its a completely different ride and so far seems to be running good except when I get into the higher rpms around 4,500 to 5,000 I notice a little pinging. Is this typically caused by bad spark plugs I put 93 octane gas in.
@@racex3721 these bikes don't really like to be at 45 5000 RPMs that's at the top end of the rpm range for a big V-twin. But good luck with the new ride and slow down Racer X. Ride safe and have a great day.

This didn’t help me, still trying to figure out why mine is loose
Sorry it didn't work out. Loosen up and try to re-tighten. You noticed I used a half inch ratchet. What is 3/8 drive And I got yet the power you need. Otherwise, the lever on the transmission splines are worn. The only way to fix that is to replace it. That means outer inner clutch compensator all come apart. Not easy. Hope that helped. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day. Sorry I couldn't help.
Thirty thousand with no leak , mine started at 25 .
Happy to hear all is well. I hate engine leaks. I thought that design of the transmission bolts was very weak. Thank you for watching and your support. Ride safe and have a great day.

Why not get a new bolt and LOCTITE. Poor choice
Happy to help.. it did not need a new bolt, watch the video the arm works its way off the tranny shaft. that's why I put the screwdriver to wedge the arm in. I fix this a year ago. Never had this problem again. Thank you for watching and your sub Kris....Ride Safe and Have a great day.
That bolt is already ruined, it should have been replaced
Happy to help. This was done September 2020 still tight. Thank you for watching and your sub. Jack.. Ride safe and have a great day
