What happened in the past that allowed it to shift?
Have you checked the adjustment on the clutch?
Is your shifter getting stuck, binding or is it all inside?
I had this once on my Heritage after taking apart the linkage and doing a clean and lube. I tightened the pivot nut too tight so when I shifted to 2nd, everything just stayed right there.
Let me know the answers to the above questions, heel-toe shifter or just toe and model of the bike. I will see if I can help...
The heel and toe shifter is brutal on gear boxes, any motorcycle I have had over the years the heel shift was never used in fact we, we meaning all my friends would ether cut that hell part off or purchase the actual toe shifter and install it. Some of the new cruiser type bikes come with these heel and to shifters and you can hear the rider slamming the gears. The toe shifter is a much more precise feel. You can also feel if the shift has go into the gear or a faults neutral with the hell you slam through it, makes me shiver just thinking of it. A question to you (you don't need to answer it) is how many high performance motorcycles have you see with a heal/toe shifter, I would hope none
You do not say what model you have but this may not matter. What you need is a heel toe shifter. You downshift with your toe and up shift with your heel. Kuryakyn may make one that fits your bike. But you may be able to fit one off off a Road Star if the spline is the same. The only other options would be to have a welder cut and extend the lever (If it is iron or aluminum.).
If you wrap some foam rubber or a bit of cloth around the shifter you wil overcome the problem, and get a free shine at the same time. Unfortuantely, these bikes do not have a heel shifter. If you go to a bike shop, you might find one that has matching splines, that wat you can downshift using the toe shifter and up shift using the heel..
