Grouch Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Out today in the pissing down rain, set off at a green light and went to put my bike not 1st and the gear lever went really loose and slack. It went down really far and was loose. Wtf is up with my bike now? Please can someone help me? I'm hoping it just needs tightening or something.

Tommy xs Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 its never rains it poors with your grouch are you sure its nothing to do with your new clutch-cable, first thing i would check is the lever itself, is the spline turning with the lever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy xs Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 then check the gear lever linkage & the spline on gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 No it's not the clutch lever it's the gear shifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 It only goes slack and loose when it is pushed into 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Right im not gear box wiz so i may not have the answer's mate. but lets give it a bash as im starting to feel sorry for you. Can you put her into first gear when the bike isn't running. Don't pull clutch in just smack her into gear? is there any thing stupid out of place? (missing bolt / nut, gear sticking out the side of the engine?) can you select every other gear and get neutral? and is there any grinding noises coming from the box when you try and select 1st? Just a quick check list to see if this brings any thing to the table and someone might know whats going on. Could you post a pic of the problem area at all?

slice Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Grouch, this is getting well past funny and you should really start thinking about getting shot of this bike, there comes a time to admit defeat and run away, no matter how trivial this problem might be this bike has fucked you over once to often, trade it in against something else.

Tommy xs Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 what we really need is a video showing you trying to select gears with your hand on the shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwan Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 No wonder you are a grouch, that bikes enough to make a saint curse. In an ideal world you need to find one of these....... Chuck your bike in, don't look back and just keep on running! fucking hell man i know u have put a lot of cash into it so want to keep it- but the amount you spend on it will keep growing, how will you feel when have sunk 5 grand in repairs into it? chuck the cunt or at least pass it on to some other poor bugger lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
