Hi all,
I have just got back on my Bandit after not using it over the winter, think its beeen about 3-4 months since i was last on it. All was ok, untill i tried to get it into 2nd gear. With the clutch fully in, all I can do is get it into neutral, even then, the foot lever is very hard to kick up and it won't budge into 2nd. Going down into 1st is easy as normal, but up is the problem. I have taken a look around the lever to see if there are any obvious problems, but nothing.
Anyone have an idea what it could be?
Many Thanks, ____________________ -Monk- |

Yep, wet sump combined engine and gearbox. If you're going to drain the oil do it after a run so it's nice and hot and thin. Don't burn yourself on the pipes and be careful undoing the sump plug, the threads in the sump seem to be made of cheese these days and a heavy handed previous owner may have weakened them.
Personally I wouldn't use fully synth in a Bandit (actually I wouldn't use any form of synth oil but that's a whole other argument that's beaten to death every week on every bike forum ) |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 18 years, 71 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
