If you are experiencing Harley neutral issues, “hard neutral”, or having a tough time shifting your Harley, you may need to address your Harley-Davidson gear shift linkage as an assembly. Sometimes, a misaligned shift linkage will be obvious to diagnose. Other times you may need to examine the assembly more closely.
As Bob explains, most typically proper clutch adjustment should also, always, be confirmed. When attempting to fix a Harley-Davidson gear shift linkage issue, verify correct adjustment at the clutch pack and in the cable per your service manuals specific requirements for your year, make & model. Also, be confident that your clutch lever is capable of completing full travel. Sometimes, path of travel can be limited, or cut short by an oversized, after-market hand grip; or possibly some other add on.
If your shift arms are not properly aligned or your Harley-Davidson gear shift linkage is set to an incorrect length; you may experience binding, which will limit, or diminish your leverage. If you are replacing, or reinstalling the stock shift linkage on your Harley; it is important to assemble it back to the exact position it was in previously. When installing an after-market shift assembly, it is important to try copying the original, stock, configuration whenever possible to achieve the same, correct leverage.
Last, but not least, always set your foot lever(s) for correct function and for rider comfort. When setting your forward most lever, be sure to allow for the boots that you will most typically ride with. When set correctly, you should be able to up shift without having to lift your entire leg in an awkward motion. If your bike is equipped with a heel shift, be sure that you have enough clearance between the lever and your floorboard. If the lever is set too low, it may have a limited path of travel that will restrict or limit your up shift.
How often should I check my Harley-Davidson gear shift linkage?

It is important to inspect your shift linkage assembly regularly. Try looking it over every time you check your lights and tire pressure. If pinch bolts become loose, remove them, clean them, and reinstall to factory torque specs with Loctite.
If shift arm splines or shaft splines are worn; the components should be replaced. If a shifter shaft is to be replaced, it is also important to replace shifter shaft bushings at that time.
Proper shift leverage is very important. Whether you are riding a 2015 Touring model, or a 1989 Sportster; the theory is the same.

[h=1]In The Shop: 2012 FXDC Fuel Filter Replacement[/h]
If you are riding a fuel injected Harley Davidson, fuel filter replacement is an important service point that should not be overlooked. Typically, replacement of this filter is recommended at forty or fifty thousand miles. The service manual for your year and model will list this filter replacement in the service schedule.

The fuel filter is relatively cheap and should be replaced; not cleaned, at every specified service interval or anytime the fuel pump assembly is removed from the fuel tank. Often, blocked fuel injectors are a direct result of fuel filter neglect. Rider neglect for fuel filter replacement may be mostly due to the difficulty level of the service. For some models a specialty tool is also needed to remove the fuel door. However, a factory service manual is the most important tool that is needed to complete this maintenance procedure. A fuel door gasket or o-ring will be needed to complete the job; as well as small fuel line step clamps depending on the year and model.

It is also highly recommend to replace the fuel door retaining hardware depending on year and model. Start by purging fuel pressure from within the system. Unplug your fuel pump module connector. Start the motorcycle and let it idle until it stalls. Then, hold the start button for a few more seconds.

Now, disconnect your battery’s ground cable. When directly dealing with gasoline, this could not be more important. The fuel door is located beneath the motorcycle’s dash assembly on any model. Remove the fuel door and the fuel pump assembly. The steps for pump assembly removal vary from model to model.

The new fuel filter is often sold as a kit.
Again, depending on the year and model. The filter will often come with o-ring(s).
After the filter is replaced and the pump assembly is correctly positioned in the fuel tank with a new gasket or o-ring, secure the fuel door with new retaining hardware or with the specialty tool.
Fuel filter replacement can be a little more challenging than other Harley service points but with a service manual and the correct tools, a rider can keep his motorcycle well maintained while saving $$.
