I occasionally catch one on the 5th to 6th shift. I usually have attributed
it
to lazy shifting on my part. I have re-adjusted the shifter to an 8 o'clock
position from the factory setting.

Occasionally I will catch the neutral on the 1st to 2nd. Then it feels like
the
flat edges of the gears have met up with each other. It will also balk
occasionally
when down shifting with the clutch in, when coming to a stop but still
moving. Then I need to let
the clutch out to get it to drop down.

My bike is a Feb. 99 build > 2k miles.

This is not a every time occurrences, about the same as on my `85
Interceptor.
