[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 125388, member: 21529"] Kdxchode: Just wants to stay in 2nd or 3rd? Do you mean the lever feels free to move but it doesn’t quite make the shift? Again I would suspect on such a new bike a manufacturing shimming problem. Otherwise the lever isn’t travelling quite enough to encourage the 2 gears together & convince the detent arm into the next hollow of the shift drum. Now this may sound silly but if your gear lever is at a funny angle -like fairly high, you may simply just not be regularly lifting your foot high enough or it may rub against the case slightly to prevent full travel. Make sure the lever bites onto the spline tight. Jag you made it sound like your lever gets stiff? So with the engine not running it shifts fine? If so would check that clutch isn’t dragging. Failing that would expect some slop in the change drum or the shaft the forks are running on. [/QUOTE]
