Hi folks,
Have been having a peculiar problem lately. I take off on a ride and my shifter sticks when shifting into 2nd. This has happened several times lately. It doesn't take much to get rid of the problem, just pull the clutch and tap the shifter lightly back down, and that's it for the day. It works fine all day, just first time thru the gears it sticks on 2nd, kinda like someone is holding the shifter up. Trans shifts fine, no weird noises or anything else. Recently took a couple thousand mile trip, not one sign of trouble on the trip. The next morning, kicked it to life, 1st then 2nd, it sticks, give the shifter a tap then thru the rest of the gears, worked great all day. Any ideas ???
Thanks for your time
John
