Amazing!

You will recall that I've had an ongoing transmission problem, and that (possibly relatedly) a pin came out in my oil:

After a round with my dealer, I got a call today confirming that the pin (which I supplied to him along with the disabled bike) is indeed a shift pin, just as several of you predicted...

Methinks somebody should put that back.  Here's hoping you're back on the road soon Rich.

Kind of sad the mechanic didn't notice the missing shift pin the first time.  Especially after you told him about our suspicions and gave him the missing pin.

Hopefully he can figure out how to permanently install the pin or get you a whole new shift cam.
Getting a new shift cam complete with all of the pins installed is the best way to fix the problem.

If the loose pin came from the shifting cam, get the entire assembly
