Transmission in Aprilia rs125

[george]

Hey everyone!
My transmision is not running smothly, sometimes I have problems with swithing gears between 1st, N and 2nd. Is it a clutch problem? How can I check whether my clutch is fine or not, I mean without disassembling? Or may be it's not a clutch? Please help.

Can you describe the problem?

Don't believe it would be the clutch as that is exactly the same in all gears and only get problems noticeable when changing revs as thats what affects a clutch.

More details will result in answers (well, hopefully but is quite hard to say how to fix the problem not knowing about what the problem is and does ).

Well, sometimes when I wait at the traffic light at N gear, and the green light on, I cant engage neither 1st nor 2nd gear, I have to throttle a bit, and after that it can be engaged. Also, when I stoped I can't engaged N after 1st. It's like stuck. Its really annoying.

Will have a proper think in the morning, and there are people who know lots more about this stuff than I do, but simple question. When was it last oil changed, and is the oil level right, and is it using good oil?

Perhaps you should try adjusting your clutch cable so it's a bit tighter. Ive had similar things (not being able to click into neutral from first when stopped etc) and adjusting the clutch sorted this. It was also creeping forward in a gear with the clutch in, a sure sign it needs adjusting (check if your does this).

Also what Ste says about the Oil is also worth checking.
