Hard shifting is caused by improper clutch cable adjustment or worn clutch plates.
To adjust the clutch cable, loosen the locking nut at the hand grip and turn the adjustment screw outward, away from the end of the handle grip. Tighten the locknut, take the bike for a spin. It will either shift easier or the clutch will slip,(higher revving of the engine without going any faster0. If the clutch slips, back the adjusting screw to a closer position to the end of the handlegrip. If it is hard shifting again, probably the clutch is worn and needs replacing.

When do you shift on a Harley Davidson sportster?
Without knowing the specific year of the machine, it is really impossible to answer. If your machine is equipped with a tachometer, shifting up at 3000 RPM is a good rule of thumb, downshifting at 1500 (ish?). Since later model machines have rev limiters (the stock set at 5400 RPM) it is unlikely that you will damage the engine from over revving. Lugging the engine, though, can cause premature wear. If your machine lacks a tachometer, a good starting point for shifting is on the "tens" in Miles Per Hour. Again, the rev limiter will protect you.
