T MAY JUST BE A COINCIDENCE, BUT...
I changed my engine oil mysef this time around ( 08 Nightster) with recommended 20-50w. Whatever oil was in there before was whatever standard oil the dealers had put in.
Now I have issues getting into neutral, sometiems it goes past 1st->2nd or 2nd->1st, or sometimes I cant shift at all. If I move the bike a bit I can then get into N.
Also, after this oil change, the motor sounds very different. I don'nt think there's anything broken, but can a heavier weight oil cause clutch/shifting problems?
thanks
