NC35 gear change problem.
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2016 6:23 pm
I've been trying to avoid seeking help with this one, in the hope it will correct itself..but of course it won't.
Changing gear has become a problem. Finding 1st and 2nd is fine, as is clicking into neutral when stationary. But 3rd is a bit tricky and needs a bigger shove (more than it used to). 4,5 and 6 get progressively harder requiring a lot of force on the lever to move up.
I've also found that by pulling the clutch lever in as hard as possible, while gripping it very close to it's pivot, makes things a little easier. It's also a tad easier (but not much) to engage the upper gears when the revs are high. Once in each gear everything is fine, there's no slip and changing down is no problem.
I've twiddled a bit with the clutch cable adjuster at the lever but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Before I get the spanners out I wanted to know what you people think. Cheers.
