Whats this 'had" stuff?

 

Ok, my bad.  Fortunately for some that's a had we never had though....

So we either never had and were ok.  Or some had the newer and they're ok.  But some had in between.  And they were just had.

longer motor life.....which most of us will change bikes before we wear out the motor.....

I didn't read every post in this thread, so it may have been mentioned, but my 09 does not say 6 speed or anything else on the cover.  My 07 RK said 6 speed on it.

Dave do you sleep none of the 09 CVO say 6 speed

Occasionally, I get a chance to sleep.

Cost reduction.  Writin' on the parts costs money, further compounded by the cost to translate the blueprints into Chinese first.  Easier just to eliminate the writin'.  I suggest everyone just keep shiftin' until the lever won't move anymore, and that will tell you your in top (however many it is) gear.  Then carefully count each gear as you shift down for a stop to determine the total number of ratio's available.  Procure a Sharpie indelible marker in the color of your choice and carefully mark the trans side cover with the number of ratio's available in case a question ever comes up in the future about how many gears you have.  This will add a truly custom touch to your "factory custom" bike.

It's too hard to see that cover when I'm riding anyway, so I tape a note to the back of my glove to remind me how many gears I have.  But when it rains, the number runs and then I get all confused again and have to get the manual out...how many gears do I have again?  Seriously, I think after having a 6 speed, it's difficult to go back to a 5 speed.  You keep kicking for that next gear, and then the light bulb goes off...oh yeah, no 6th gear.
