I just bought a 2010 GSXR600 with 14,500kms on it a couple weeks ago.
I've put maybe 200kms onto the bike since getting it and am having the following issue:
This is the first time I've experienced this since riding it.
I'll be at a stop in first, attempt to shift up into neutral. No green "N' pops up, and the gear indicator doesn't read anything, when it should say 0. But, when I release the clutch while it's in that state, it acts as though it's in neutral, won't move when giving it throttle, can move the wheels freely.
When I'm riding slow and am coming up to a stop I attempt to shift down from 2nd and attempt to go into neutral, it does the same, no indication of it being in neutral. Then, when I try to shift down into first or up into second from that rolling neutral position, I can feel a grinding type of feeling on my foot, as if two gears are trying to line up.
I can shift through all the gears no problem, it just seems like neutral is starting to give me problems.
Two things that I can think of are -
Stretched clutch cable, so I need to tighten it up to ensure the clutch is fully disengaged.
Or,
I just changed the oil about 150kms ago to Rotella T4 15w-40, which might be causing problems. My bikes manual says to do 10w-40, and I've heard a lot of good things about T4, but also some people said they didn't like it.
Any suggestions?
