1st to 2nd issues ...
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2018 10:35 pm
Perhaps it's from the GT sitting so long and riding a different bike, but going to 2nd has become an issue. Occasionally when going into 2nd it's a easy prod on lever and a slight "clunk" is heard, as is/was normal.
But more often than not, a loud clunk is heard and the lever sometimes feels like it doesn't want to move without an excessive amount of force. Not so much I'm worried about damaging anything, just enough to notice it.
If I crawl out of 1st into 2nd as soon as the bike is rolling most of the time it feels right. But occasionally it's extremely stiff. What could be going on ?
Gear box oil is at the right level and maybe has 2500 miles/4000k on it. Can't say it's any different when cold and warming up, or when it's at operating temperature.
Haven't checked the clutch adjustments in awhile but as I've said, it hasn't been ridden much in a few years.
