Here's one for you....
Took 'The Beast' out today, 7am - 7pm, which consisted of 9 hours of actual riding. The whole day involved ALL types of roads, Motorways, 'A' roads and 'B' roads...Cities, Towns and Villages.
Changing gears upto 4,000 rpm.
Two Thirds of the way into the journey, I hit a clear section of Dual Carriageway, off a Roundabout (it's an 'English/UK' thing
)
I took 2nd gear upto 5,000 rpm, attempted to change into 3rd.....and nothing, hard metal, would not go into 3rd. Revved it, changed down to 2nd and back up, into 3rd. The same thing happened from 3rd to 4th
Took it easy (no higher than 4,000 rpm) for the rest of that part of the journey.
Set out on the last part of the expedition and Lo and Behold, 2nd to 3rd was OK, but 3rd to 4th, was no go
What's happening? Is it me? WTF!? Any ideas...Warranty running out!
Apologies for the detailed (long and boring) account, but I thought it would help...
