750F1 gear change issue

<< < (2/5) > >>

neat street:
Thanks Brian, I think its best to check the clutch as already suggested... it does go into 1st with a clunk, but it always did that, I will strip the clutch tomorrow and check.
Thank you all.

Skoti:
Mines does that occasionally from cold start off, I just momentarily release foot pressure from the gear lever then try again and it usually engages fine.

As Bryan suggests get both shafts turning.
I would raise the rear wheel off the ground and spin it, whilst trying to change through all the gears by hand, before hauling the clutch to bits.



Good luck 

 

taysidedragon:
If you haven't got one, beg, borrow or steal a rear paddock stand. Then you can turn the rear wheel while changing gear. Try it by hand, not engine running unless you're very brave.

neat street:
Thanks again for your input, no paddock stand available, and I think it best to check the clutch... If I eventualy get it into gear, then its hard to get out, so I think this is a clutch issue even though its not `dragging` or `pulling when in gear with the clutch pulled in.

Spitfire:
It's near impossible for me to get mine into neutral when I pull up at the lights, I have to cut the engine select neutral and restart the engine.
This is nothing new, I have had the bike since new April 1976 and it has always been the same.

Cheers

Dennis
