not this again...yes!
I remember the first one I bought and not that long ago about or almost 3 years or by jan 016. in those days I really had trouble with the frigg'in gearboxes and the shifting and the neutrals...........oh the neutrals. they were bloody everywhere.
I'd say sometimes on my very first few rides I'd hit neutrals 10 or 20 times on that one run. usually in between 3/4 or 4/5 or sometimes anywhere followed by a loud rev. sometimes the complete opposite I'd stop and had trouble even finding the bloody neutral.
now you could say maybe your bike wasn't prepared correctly by the dealer which is probably a fair call and worth thinking about. thought crossed my mind too. now I don't really think so.
over the past year my last 3 bike all have had excellent gear boxes. now you can't say they were dealer prepared well as one had a spongy front disc and a over tightened steering head bearing...lol
what I can say from past experience on the black/chrome and this camo so far I never have hit a false neutral or either bike. plus there have been quite a few time when I have changed gears and I've thought - shit I've missed that one and we all know the feeling -not so! into gear and problem free.
the new bikes or the ones I have ridden lately have the best gear changes by far. I was a bit jealous of the continental gt when I had it. after getting off a C5 with a problem gear changer the GT had a bloody good box. best box ever...pity the bike only lasted 350 klm...lol
but now I don't miss that changer. these bikes now change and change well. good and positive and I am not down by the side of the clutch housing trying to adjust that friggin cable
then up by the clutch lever thinking -did did he say 3mm or 5mm of slack
now I want to know from the mechanical mined seeing I am not mechanical minded could there be an improvement in the gears/clutch whatever or have I struck 3 good bikes in a row
