Hi, has anyone had any adjustments done to their gear change linkage system? I'm at 60,000 k and having trouble finding N and a bit stiff between some gears? Thanks

I am thinking you have a dragging clutch with these symptoms.

Yes you may well be correct thanks Dave, whats the cure for that one?

It's probably one of the bigger jobs you have to do. I've replaced clutches on a couple of EV Tourings (which arrived with a wonderful but short lived single plate clutch), and it is something I would not look forward to doing again.
For the EV Tourings, I crabbed the frame, which basically means supporting the engine-gearbox on a stand (not the centre stand) and effectively lifting the rest of the motorcycle away. It took a long time but there is no other option other than paying someone else to do it for you.

Big job on a 14, I'd exhaust all maintenance first. Clean bled system, maybe wash off clutch w/mineral spirits (worth a try). Make sure the master on bar is working as it should.

^ As above , replace clutch fluid and bleed thoroughly ! Peter

So Motor out, new clutch plate? It is still working just a tad hard to get into Neutral, other than that seems to be OK.
Thanks for the info, Glenn
