Gear changes

[johnnycash1980]

Hi,

I have an 1150 GS. Yesterday whilst riding through traffic, my gear changing started playing up. To begin with I couldn't get into third. With a bit of jiggling around of the pedal, I could get it into third, then it wouldn't go down to first! Then it appeared to clear up. Today the same thing is happening. I have only done relatively short distances through traffic so havent really been able to give it a good run through the gears. I had a look in the dark just now when I got home and the pedal does not seem to be returning the the neutral position after changes.

Any ideas?

There's a cylindrical bush that the pedal pivots on, which gets filled with road crud. With a bit of careful disassembly, you can remove it without having to take off the entire mount. Give it a good clean and regrease, and everything should be good as new

If you do decide to take off the whole mount, the bolts that hold it on are glued in with threadlock and will come out a lot easier if you heat them up.

Thanks!

Will have a look at the weekend when I have some daylight to play with. That sounds like what is happening.

Cheers
