Gear Box Problem

[OB_blade]

My gears shifter is feeling different, the gears are not smooth, they click hard and I have to work to get it back to first sometime. What problems have you guys experienced and what was the fix.

Ok this is a guess,
How is your chain adjustment?
How does the clutch feel?
Was there a sound like a popping before this happen?
Anymore info?

The problem I'm having I feel it in the gear shift lever. It's hard shift and the movement is not smooth. It gets even worse as I ride.

Man I forgot where you live .Now that I remember,I bet who ever did the 600 mile service did not remove the shifter from the bracket and grease the post.
Remove the circlip from the post on the bracket and clean and grease the inside hole of the shifter and the post then reinstall I bet that will work.It probably has been wet down there.

Thanks Johnny I've scheduled a appointment for tomorrow. You are right, I think the only thing they did at the 600 mile service was change the oil.

I had same problem, but on rear brake lever, it felt like the pedal/master cylinder was buggered
Oiled the post and worked the lever, now everything is fine & dandy.
Will also try your suggestion on the gearlever JC, as I was thinking it was becoming increasingly difficult to shift.
