might be fun just for grins to order one of the magnet drain plugs and see what it can pull out of the oil for you

I would listen to WD. I was having a similar problem with my Savage it only affected ONE gear and the clutch would slip at full throttle. It was due an oil change so I put in 20W-50 and the shifting problem went away. The clutch engaged better and firmer with the new oil. No shifting problems thus far about 1200 miles after the change.  8)

I've been accused of that, too

This is actually a common occurance with repair techs.  We look at something that is not working, can't see why, poke at it, and it starts working.  Why?  Who knows?  But I have had lots of trouble tickets closed as "CCWF -- Came Clear While Fumbling."

edit --  I still think it was something with the oil, since that would have been drained and replaced when he did his looksee.[/quote

My hubby says in his Auto Teching he gets the same thing, too. Can't find a thing wrong, but it clears up during the diagnostics and such.
Back to the oil again, everything makes since to that direction.  Hey, the temp around here dropped 20-25 degrees , too.

NEWBIES NOTICE: READ AND RESEARCH BEFORE STARTING A NEW TOPIC.
If you can't find your answer then post to an existing topic that is on or close to your topic and ask it there.
If you are a newbie do search all the info already posted here 1st. Your answer is likely here.

This forum is becoming flooded w/ repeat newbie questions and "new topics" that are not "NEW"! DAMIT!

I have a beef w/ the number of new posters that have not read the forum.
Rob and others are often too kind in doing their homework, holding their hand, walking them to the correct topic, sp00n feeding them and wipe their little chins.

I agree with Greg it is getting difficult to cull through this crap, do to lazy or inconsiderate folks just wandering in and asking the SOS, not to mention it makes Susan’s job harder.

This is one of the best forums I have ever found.
I hate to see it turn into a bunch of repetitive useless threads, but we have all seen it before. Too bad!

If you "can't find it" it likely because there is too much BS piled on top of the all the goodies here that you are attempting (or are supposed to attempt) to find! This forum will move your question placed ANYWHERE including old topics to the top of the stack for all the others to see. It is becoming difficult to keep up as good, current topics get buried further under the BS new topics.
If you just wanna BS fine, we do that too, but BS does not deserve all these new topics.
Sorry if I am a bad guy for saying it, but was going to have to be said sooner or later anyway.

What the hay?  Did I do something wrong by asking about my bikes individual problem?  Sorry , will not be bothering you again.  

The shifting problem was researched first, as you can tell I had a problem that WAS CONSIDERED NOT TYPICAL therefore no answer was found in other topics.

As far as the drain plug goes, I can and do search for things around here Rob was kind and placed the link with out me asking.  Thank you Rob you have been helpful all along.
