So. I've got a strange problem. I ride the bike and it shifts fine for about 5-10 minutes. Then ill downshift at a stop light and sometimes it won't go into first again. It will go to neutral and second, sometimes to third from second. But never back to first of forth and fifth. When I try and shift to the unreachable gears the foot shifter feels like its welded to something. This happens sometimes when I down shift from fifth to forth when going into turns or something. It won't ever go back to fifth.
Now the funny thing. The second I kill the motor, the gears shift like butter. It's so weird to me. It immediately fixes it. Then I go another distance hoping I don't have to down shift or else I've got to pull over, stop it and kick it over again.
New clutch discs, springs, clutch adjusted and triple checked. Never had this problem before so it's a new bug. Sooooooo strange.
Thoughts anyone?
