    2008 Street Glide. When downshifting from 5th or 4th past third gear the 6th speed indicator will sometimes come on momentarily. Has anyone had this problem? Everything seems to work ok otherwise. Any info would be appreciated.

    Might be loose wire on switch, if it's warranty I'd take it in for the dealer to check out.
