CB550F2 1978 Gears

(1/3) > >>

Bro550F:
After riding and the engine/gearbox are hot, I've noticed the gears are harder to engage and quite often get a missed gear between 1-2 and 3-4.

Could this be due to selector forks or worn dogs on gears, or clutch possibly.

Any ideas ??

Bryanj:
How old and what type of oil you using?

Bro550F:
Oil and filter are about 200miles old.

10-40 Mineral I think......

Bryanj:
Depends on the exact spec of the oil, diesel 10w40 is better than petrol 10w40

I'll check when I go into garage tomorrow, seem to recall it could be diesel 10W40.

Is this a common trait?  Don't recall my original in 1976 giving issues !!
