Detent spring, or trans update?

I will stand by with you to see what you find. Ride on brother

As Warp mentioned, his buddy suffered with it a while before fixing and that is exactly what I intend to do. It won't be torn apart until this fall and I will do the timing chain and guides at the same time. I have found that if I rest my foot gently down on the shifter after a downshift that it will not hop out. Not an ideal situation, but I will suffer through the summer with it and let everyone know when it actually comes apart for the fix.

Yeah... Good advice!
Don't do what I do. Doesn't look like I'll have my bike back together until September :0

No that's for Standard and Classic models. There was never a update kit for the Touring as they were supposed to have everything already done. And to be honest other than the detent spring I don't recall hearing of any that had transmission problems. Lately it's more Roadsters than anything.

Except @cusso ken

If the last 6 numbers of your Vin are higher than 337294 then it's an updated bike.

I think @Steel has this right. There was definitely a serial number for '08 tourers after which all updates were incorporated.

Splitting hairs. Let's call it "Touring" as the Tourer was a '07 model year only bike.
