I had this problem on my thou when I first got it, adjusted lever up a fair bit never had a problem sinceOnly came across this now.This would explain it, if needed I assume you can adjust the position via the linking rod rather than on the splines?
This is a common enough problem with a badly adjusted gear lever and easy enough to check and for some strange reason effect 2nd to 3rd gear mostly.
Ride the bike and when you are in second gear move your foot away from the lever completely, then return you foot to change gear again.
If it goes in every time you do this then the lever is adjusted to low
The problem occurs because the lever has not returned completely to the home position as your boot is holding it slightly off the home position and when you go to change again you get the blank as you describe.
Just as I thought, thanks. It's a shame they don't make a rack for them as I always thought it would help to make the gen 1 more modern fully dressed for touring.Agreed but I think the gen1 was out of production when the PLX system came out, they make a rack for the gen2
Out of interest, did you ever manage to fit these to your gen 1 ?No they don't make a rack for the gen1 they came off an FZ6
Agreed a well fitted pinlock is the best thing you fit to a lidNever had a pinlock visor and until I read this post I'd never heard of one. Good old fairy liquid is the best anti misting solution (excuse the pun)
30 years ago it may have been, but not any more.
We've kind of moved on a bit since then.
Hey Cellarman, the same as that.I fitted the carbon effect brake lines with blue banjo's, they look the mutts nuts
Oil and Filter, drained and flushed cooling system, refilled system with 50/50 long life red antifreeze and distilled water. New Spark Plugs (NGK CR9E), new air filter, new Braided Stainless Steel brake lines (Blue), replenished the brake fluid and bleed through.
cleaned and polished bike, it's now in Garage with dust sheet over it for the next four months.
Jobs a Gudun.
