Hey,
I just got back from a week of strong, fun and hard riding on my 200es. The frist 3 days of the trip my gear shifter was tight (it had no free play when you moved it up and down, unless ofcourse you applied presure and it changed gears) If you had it in first and put a bit of pressure on it, it would disengage the clutch. This is normal im pretty sure. My clutch only starts to catch at higher rpm than normal becuase it must be worn out. Me and my dad then decided to adjust it thinking it probably had never been adjusted before. We adjusted it but it dident do anything.
Now my shifter is really sloppy and if you lift it up slightly it does NOT disengage the clutch like it used too. Sometimes it is also hard to kick into 2nd or 3rd gear.
One night while out spotlighting I stopped at a gate and downshifted into neutral and then when i got back on it would not shift into 1st. I had to jump off and shift it with my hand with LOTS of pressure.
It does NOT jump out of gear either......if thats any help.
With all theses clues does anybody know what might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
