Trouble getting into first

Post by jonny »

Just had trouble getting bike into first from neutral. Happened a few times. Just wondering if this is anything to worry about? And if anybody knows why it happens? cheers

It might be a problem with the clutch, if you didn't used the bike for a while the discs might be glued
Also check the shifter linkage...

Your clutch is draging or not lifting properly...............could be as simple as adjusting the cable to fix
