posssibly issues or not, I'm not an expert so I can only give symptoms and hopefully someone may have come across this and have an idea?
Bike is a 2004 model, 28K miles, full service history. OK, issue is sometimes (only sometimes) when changing between 1st and 2nd it feels like what car drivers would say finding a gear is like stirring a pot with a spoon syndrome, going into first is clunky but I know that this can be the norm, I've had it on various other bikes over the years so this isn't really bothering me too much. But the main concern is when trying to change between 1st to 2nd and then back down. Sometimes it finds the gear no problem but at others it feels like it needs a good stamp to get it into gear and that doesn't always work (no I'm not actually stamping on the lever!). No nasty noises coming from the engine or gearbox, chain is going to need a change pretty soon but other than that I'm stumped? All other gears are fine, new clutch cable fitted and set up correctly etc
Any ideas?
cheers
