Sticking gear lever - sorted - clanadam - 24-11-12
My FZ6 had developed a bit of an issue when changing gears over the last week. Sometimes the gear level wouldn't return properly and it was stuck in gear - not great when you end up coming towards junctions in 4th gear and can't get it changed down! Looking through the forum I thought there may be an issue with the spring(s) in the gearbox but thought I would pop in to Dynotech Ecosse in Hillington to let them have a look. Turned out it was simply that the gear level pivot bolt needed to be taken out, cleaned, greased and put back. Sorted - and with no charge! Top blokes in there.

To be fair I did pay them a fair whack for a service on my 'blade in the summer and I'll be sticking the Fazer in for a service, 25k valve check, swinging arm grease up etc in Jan/Feb. But still good service
