Hi all


Not posted for ages but I just got back into a 2009 gen 2, just want to pick your brains about gearing.. presuming g the gearing is standard on my bike I'd say there's scope for +1 or -2 on the rear ? She's happy in 6th sub 30mph even 25 and singing higher up may improve mpg and ridability somewhat if I mod.. this may have been covered already in previous threads but I can't find them so apologies if I am opening an old discussion and thanks in advance

Hi all ok so today was my maiden voyage on the fazer after collecting at the weekend, all was well it is a lovely bike with only one issue I just hope it's not a biggy. Shifting from second to third doesn't happen a lot, by this I mean the gear lever is freely working so into first no problem back to neutral no problem into second no problem out of second gear lever returns to neutral position ready for third... Raise gear lever... Nothing.... Gear lever returns back to neutral... Try third again..... Nothing (gear lever makes the travel) but no click just smooth like nothing there.. After a few more try's eventually third is found and this is how it goes on.... But the rest of the gears seem fine the problem seems from second to third only ridden it about an hour and pleased with everything else in fact more than pleased but this is tainting my overall first impression. I have read about main selector springs failing but hope it's a) nothing serious and b) not to costly, I am good with the spanners but not keen to start removing the engine and stripping gearboxes, but gutted really but don't think its cable adjustment  adjustment it's done 36k

Any help would be great thanks in advance
