Hi everyone Has anyone experienced a sticking gear lever when downshifting? On a typical hour’s ride I’ll get this problem once or twice. What happens is that when I’m downshifting, the gear lever stays down for a moment and I can’t downshift again until the lever pops up - I feel it hit the bottom of my boot. Normally, it’s only for a second or so - but I’ve not experienced this before on a bike. Most times it’s when I’m changing from 3rd to 2nd. I’m using the autoblipper. I talked to the dealer about this and they said to be more positive with my gear changes. Any thoughts appreciated.
Hi, I am no expert but had the false neutrels issues from a 2013 bike, If it is a low mileage bike may need a few miles to run in
What the dealer said. If you're certain you're being positive, then you might have a problem, but I'd check you are first.
I get the same thing but on up shifts. Usually when the engine is under more load. Never get a false neutral just feel the lever hit the top of my boot.
I have found new boots make a difference depending on the sole thickness & stiffness and it takes time get get the feel of the gear lever after changing boots. Could be you are dragging your boot on the lever after a change so it does not come back up. Initially, Change down manually and slower, making a positive foot movement to leave a gap to the lever after each change. Maybe this recalibration will solve your prob
