just to add to this, my lil baby drag 125 has similar prob with gears:
once started in neutral, clutch in, clunk into first, and she stalls. the only way to get around it i find is to rev slightly while clutch in and knock her down to 1st. ordered a new clutch as my bike chap thinks clutch is dragging. also same prob if i come down the gears to 1st if im stopping, once stationary clutch in to change from 1st to neutral and it wont budge one bit! i either have to turn of engine by key or stand cut out. hoping the new clutch tomorrow will resolve it.
ALSO, bike not sounding happy when trying to start, be it before of after riding it, dim lights on clock, very slow starting noise, engine management light on, then with a little acceleration she starts, im putting it down to the battery at the moment, need to get one tomoz, just hoping its not some electronic device not charging the battery when started!
AND FINALLY!!!
chain keeps coming loose, very loose indeed. I've had it tightened twice since january, and was told at the time chain seemed ok and lots of teeth on sproket still, but getting chain changed tomoz aswell, but hey, she's nearly 10years old & 16,000 miles for a lil 125 drag that can't be bad eh?!
anyone able to shed some light?
Thanks,
Tom
