gear changing

Post by T180985 »

ive started to get an issue when changing gear, mostly when down a gear when just pushing the peg it moves all the way done as normal but does nothing i have to almost stamp on it hard a few times to get it to finally go down gearm, this is with the clutch pulled all the way in..... any thoughts? thanks

i would suggest looking at the obvious first ie your gear selector linkage, make sure the lever is clamped tight to the splined shaft and chaeck all linkages are as they should be, failing that could be worn selector forks?

if this is when stationary, its normal.. for pretty much any bike.
