Hi everyone. I went out riding today, and everything started OK. then, about 15 minutes in, I lost my ability to shift... Ie. I kicked the shift pedal when going from 1st to 2nd, but it wouldnt go out of first. Scary moments because I was in traffic and had to pull over. Finally...after a little riding, it seemed to fix itself.
Then, I noticed that at stops, with the lever fully pulled in, the bike was still slightly in gear (ie moving)!!!
so what does all this mean, do I just need to adjust my clutch cable? I tried adjusting it and it seems to have fixed the problem of "being in gear while the lever is fully pulled in". Could these two issues be related...I am thinking maybe I couldn't shift out of 1st, because, in reality, when I had the lever fully pulled, the clutch wasn't fully disengaged!
btw it's a Honda CBR250.
