Took my 2002 1150 out to the Peaks last night (not used her for a few weeks). Got so far then found out as fast approaching junction that I couldnt change down from 3rd clutch lever not fouling on heated grip cable ( it sometimes does) clutch lever pressure felt fine. Kept trying to no avail and feathered thru junction in 3rd. Out the other side I thought fekk this and headed home, all the while trying to change down. Tried changing up , fine, 4th , 5th, then tried down. Yes! 4th 3rd, 2nd, 1st, fekkin excellent. Went up and down the box a few times whilst up on the tops above Sheffield and all was well with the world.
Turned around and off I set, heading for Matlock . After 2 miles, the same thing again. Cant kick down, only up. Bollox to this, turned round and headed home in 3rd. Got onto the drive and tried gears again....all fine. Parked up, dismounted, got on 18 year old Honda Blackbird and arrived st Matlock 40 minutes later. Haven't given the heap of Bavarian shite a thought since.......until now.
Initial search here may point at linkages? Any help would be gratefully received thanks.
