Shift rod, lever and arm seemed tight enough today, nothing rattley or loose. Wasn't sure how much to tighten the clutch cable, so I left that alone. LOL.
Sandmann- when you say "the cable only needs adjusting a bit"....describe "a bit"? Or anyone else who's suggested adjusting the clutch cable? 1/4 turn? More?
Today I was only able to take a short test drive to see if I was having any problem on downshifting while stopped (or stopping, or accelerating), no need to rev while downshifting...everything seemed fine, but it was only a quick test drive with a couple of stops to find neutral and feel the gears do their thing.
Neutral seemed to be in it's usual "place" today. Hmmmmm.
Wojo- interesting that you're having the same trouble. If it happens again (but shhhhhhh! I'm a woman, and first like to try believing that given the chance, mechanical things sometimes fix themselves, it's been known to happen) I'll see what happens if it's easier to find neutral after I hit the kill switch/kickstand down. Yesterday, by the end of the day, I couldn't find it at all- the neutral light was just TAUNTING me as it quickly blinked at me. (Until a couple hours after the bike cooled down, then no problem.)
