Hello all... Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, or if I am just doing something wrong.
Sometimes when rolling to a stop in a higher gear (say third or fourth) with the clutch in I have trouble getting the bike to shift into first once I'm completely stopped. I can get the bike down to neutral no problem, but it just doesn't seem to want to drop down to first. I have no issue getting into first if the bike is moving.ie.-downshifting to first before coming to a stop. The only way I seem to be able to get it into first after experiencing this is to upshift to second, clutch out a little then try again. Usually this will do the trick.
Could this be a mechanical problem I need to have checked out? Am I missing something?
