Hard to down shift
#27
(11-07-2016, 12:50 AM)Rocky_imp Wrote: This "locking" of gears happens nearly every time I have to make a sudden stop (on whatever bike) and don't have time to shift down through the gears. It's quite normal due to motorcycle transmission design as has been explained.
While I'm at a stop I go though a series of clutch engagement and release all the while moving down through the gears until I get to first.
Nothing to worry about.

Thank you Rocky, My bike is about to go out of warranty, just wanted to know if it was normal. I get to ride 1 - 2 days a week if life goes perfect. Most of the time it is at night after working 12+ hours. I find it quite easy to find myself stopped in 4-5-6 gear. My 60 year body does not respond to fast to my 60 year old brain. I would beat my left foot for not trying harder on the CB but it would just make me limp. Smile I also ride a 650 Burgman when my wife wants to go along. I also hit the brake (located where the clutch is on a motorcycle) on the Burgman at times when I drive it in manual trans mode, thats makes the heart beat a little faster. Biker
