Hi all,
This is probably one of my first posts here. Ive been a lurker for a while looking at classifieds and reading up general stuff on this forum. Really great I must say.
So, to the point..
I purchased a 2000 CBR 929 RR Fireblade last week and I must say its been a fantastic joyride but I have a concern.
Ive noticed that when I shift the bike into 1st gear, the transition is really loud and also jerks the bike a bit (like a hiccup). What could that be? Do the gears need to be oiled? Plus, most of the shifts after are also pretty loud. Im not really used to this. Am I to show this to a mechanic? I had an R6 before and this never happened. The shifts were literally sound-less.
Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
p.s. can anyone please recommend me a mechanic who would be able to change my front brake pads in the Yonge / Sheppard area? Not Rosey Toes please, that place takes too much time due to volume + Ted installs stuff without asking and charges what he wants!
