Hard to down shift
#29
(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.

exactly my experience. and it to be a default feature of gearboxes is just blah! No proof found on any of my bikes. You can always switch through the box at a stop, whatever happened before. Only laggy old boxes may fail on abrupt and very rough handling (racing vibrations, etc.).

If that doesn't go away after the inspection I'll return the bike. No need for expensive bikes that work like an unrefined .ch/.in commuter.
