Gearbox and final drive

[ovenpaa]

It's ermm, a bit clunky I know I have big boots on so shift with the edge of the sole but I have had it jump out of second twice shifting up, I have had to get used to being quite deliberate shifting second to first as it will slide into neutral sometimes, and it is clunky and rough, rolling on and off produces quite a clunk sometimes in fact it does not feel as smooth as my 1150Adv - is it me, the bike or do they 'All do that sir'

400 miles on the clock now.

It is easy to miss gears as it onlys takes a little extra to click home and i know what you mean as i've done it a few times between third and fourth?

Must admit mines got 4600 miles on it now and the gearbox definately gets better with age

Hey...
I have problems changing gears and feeling the back brake correctly when wearing MX Boots on all my Bikes.....KTM/HP2/CRF X....

Thinking of getting those 50/50 boots.....hoping they will give me more feel..

I shift with the inside of my sole and as far as the footbrake goes - well on the Adv I fitted a TT plate to give more contact area and moved it up and I still miss it sometimes... I ride with my toes on pegs and never have got the hang of finding the footbrake when I move my foot forward. I ride with Oxtar TCX's and they are fairly flexible after 2 years use but they still squeek like a box of rats...
