handsome_al Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi guys & Gods, I used my '85 mono to set a lap time for a friends Vintage Enduro the other week and long before I'd done the 15 miles I was having terrible gear change problems: sometimes false neutrals, other times it wouldn't come out of gear changing up or down. My impression was that it was getting too hot (ie. didn't like the non-stop use). The oil - as always Motul 10/30 Semi-Synth - was brand new two days prior. The clutch has since been stripped, measured and pronounced "as-new". Anyone got any ideas or had similar trouble. Thanks AL p.s. my legs are too old for 15miles of continuous standing .... I was cream crackered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 found this old post while searching for a similar solution.....anyone any idea on what could be causing the false neutrals and general choppy gear change. Nothing behind the case looks out of place or worn very much. Bike is an 88 TY mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada280i Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks how bent would it have to be? I have not removed the shaft all the way but looking at it it does not have an obvious bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If everything else looks good, I would go ahead and pull it. It really does not take much to cause a lot of grief. You usually will know on how easy it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
