LewisHoons Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 For some reason my motorbike only shifts in to third gear when doing either 15mph or 30mph and at 30 I have to roll off the throttle to get it to shift up. It’s only third gear doing this and it has done since I owned it. 3 month. The bike also jumps when accelerating. Only a couple times a day in my 20mile journey. It isn’t a loose chain as I recently changed my chain and sprockets as a kit. Could the symptom be a slipping clutch? Many thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 No. A slipping clutch produces increasing revs as you apply power with constant or decreasing road speed. And what's this about "having to roll off the throttle when changing up"? Errr...it's how you change gear. You do understand how to use the clutch properly?

Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Take RH side cover off. It could be a worn gear selector cam, gear selector rod or selector drum. Difficulty with 3rd gear common fault on these engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisHoons Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 I will see if can take the time to take a look at selecteo many thanks. And yes I can’t use the clutch going in to 3rd gear as I have to apply pressure to the selector for third gear and if I use the clutch it loses the ability to change to third.
