I had the problem of the shifter not shifting past third gear and also the shifter would not return to its normal position between shifts (it stayed up or down depending on which way you shifted and you had to manually push it back to its middle position). Saw the posts on here about the shifter segment pins and removed the cover and sure enough the 4th pin in the sequence was missing and the side plate tab over that pin was pushed out just enough to allow the pin to sneak out of the shifter. Ordered replacement parts and replaced the shifter segment and the pins. Checked the shifter shaft and the springs on the shifter linkages and everything appeared to us to be working properly. Put the shifter shaft back in and reconnected everything and put the cover back on. On the test ride the bike will now shift through all five gears again but the shifter is still not relocating freely back to its normal position between shifts. Its stiff like sommething is in a bind. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Im getting frustrated and my riding buddy wants to get my tour classic out of his garage!
