skye
Was out a few times this last weekend and the only thing spoiling an otherwise good blast over 500miles was my gearbox jamming up maybe two or three times each day, sending my pillion lurching into my back. :banghead
It's happened enough times that I know it's 4th going up into 5th, but it's when not totally revving out hard on the upchange nor when gently short-shifting/cruising up the gears....somewhere between the two. Otherwise it's fine. No amount of lever tugging or unloading/rolling off seems to make it snick in, therefore making me look a tool. No sniggering you lot! :rolleyes
I generally do clutchless upshifts, or gentle one/two finger little pull on the clutch. But even clutch right in, off the throttle it wasn't happy.
Is this the start of something sinister? What do I check now?
57 Tuono R, 5K-ish miles. I've just fitted ASV shorties last week, but it happened occasionally before that anyway.
