I have a prob with my bike at the minute....It'll go into first gear, pull away but when I kick it up into 2nd it will pull for a second then go into a neutral gear (with green light on the dash). It takes a lots of footwork to get it back into a gear that will pull, but when I change up again it pulls then goes into neutral again. Any suggestions???? It's a '99 model with 9500m on the clock.
Thanks for the reply....hope it's nothing that expensive, wheelies started off a bit crap mind. It hasn't been raced - I've owned it from new, but hopefully be doing trackdays this year.
The oil was changed about 1200m ago - fully synthethic in there. I ran in a new tyre last week, did around 250m no problem, til this gear thing started happening. Do you think the clutch cable might need adjusting?
Thanks Swedie & rrr for the pointers, I'll take a look. I hope its nothing major - it's still under warranty though, it's just the hassle of having it off the road now we're getting some decent weather at last!
