Occasional problem changing gear - jeffco - 04-08-15
For a while now I seem to have a problem changing down gears if I have brought the bike to a stop without down changing as I slowed, when im stopped and I try to change down it will go down to about 3rd them wont go further without a bit of jiggling about. Other than that the gearbox is fine, no missed/ sticky gears and changes down fine if I change down as im slowing. Is this a common problem? or are dark clouds forming on my horizon ? You can tell that ive just had a week in Scotland , still looking for bloody dark clouds...

That would be normal enough as the gears need to be rotating to mesh properly.
Let the clutch in and out a bit to get the gears to rotate a bit to the correct position when changing at a standstill.

Yeah, its normal. It has to select through rotation. Just go down the gears before you stop or slip clutch. Catches us all out sometimes when we think brakes first!

Thanks lads.... It only happened cos it was pissing down and I had to stop pretty sharp, I was more concerned about staying on it than changing gears.

I guess most of us have been in that situation once or twice :lol
