linkage/shifter help
Hey folks Im experiencing a slight problem. Today I rode to work as usual with nothing out of the ordinary. I left for lunch and when I arrived at the restaurant I couldnt get it out of gear! Didnt want to shift up at all. Finally got it in neutral but it was sticking a lot. I found that the nuts on the linkage were a bit loose but tightening them made it worse. As soon as I got it on the street it was fine while riding but had trouble again when I parked.
Oh I adjusted and lubed the chain 2 days ago Any ideas? |

Try adjusting/replacing the cable, clean and greese the lever pivot on the handlebar, before making that decision. Also check clean and grease the worm drive on the clutch as well. HTH |

Yeah it was the cable. I tightened it but found it was frayed by the lever so I took it in to my shop and had them replace it. Thanks for the help. Phew |
