Hi all,
I just had my bike serviced (18,000KM) and took it out for lunch today because it was getting on for 20°C and nice and sunny.
I have to say the bike felt great - better than before the service...
However, even though gear changes from 1, to 2 and then to 3rd gear were sweet, I found that 3rd to 4th, then 5th and 6th were a little strange. It seemed to click into the middle position and then click IN to gear when I re-engaged the clutch. I tried giving it the old pre-pressure before pulling in the clutch (as many say your supposed to anyway) and this made little difference. Gear changes were smooth from a riding point of view but from a left foot point of view, it felt a little strange...
It didn't do that before the service
Anyone else felt this sort of thing?
Had a nice pizza anyway... :whistling:

Bah.
Well it's going to piss down with rain until next Thursday according to Il Meteo.... does that help?
:whistling: :popcorn:
Well Ros on a serious note, I haven't had to have my bike serviced yet since getting it last year and haven't noticed anything strange about the gearchange. Nice and smooth is how I would describe mine . No clicking

:mfr_lol: Ros my friend I have to say "No" .. I havn't noticed any change after any servicing .... there are plenty here who are more technical than me .. yea yea I know "that won't take much" !! .. enjoy your Pizzas and sun ! :clap:
Apart from my bikes feeling 'fresher' after a service I can't say that I've ever experienced any problems with gearchange following a service :no:
Give them a call and ask if they moved the gearlever?
Moving it just a couple of mm can change the feel remarkably.
Actually I think they might have done. I did think when I hopped on it after that it was in a different position....
I shall investigate :)
Good point - thanks!!
Readjusted the lever... All good now - thanks :clap:
Why would a dealer mess with the gear lever?
Who knows. It's probably just me. I don't know if they did move it or not. But adjusting it has made a difference.
I had a similar issue after a service and a quick adjust of the gear lever (lower) meant that the gear changes were more positive and I could go back to clutchless changes on full throttle whilst in BANZAI mode! :yes:
