Orinoco Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Mate, get it back to the shop you bought it from. ( it's brand new ) it's not good what happened. at least let them check it out. ( if that is possible here ) I'm surprised , what happened as its a new bike. Hope it never happens again. Good luck. Ps On seconds thoughts, all parts are new as its a new bike. it could be a one off as things bed in. change the oil straight away, like now. possible, some contaminant is in the engine from manufacture, ( or other things after it left the factory ) all unlikely but it's very cheap to change oil. what a dilemma for you,on a new bike .

Hi Orinoco, thanks for your reply! ???? Sorry I should have been clearer, the bike is about a year old but was bought brand new by my missus ???? That being said, I reckon is it actually due for an oil change any way so I'll take it in tomorrow and get them to have a look over it at the same time ???? thanks for your input ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of changes things, Take it to the shop change oil, get them to check it out, ( if that possible here) tell them what happened. Take it to a field ( for soft landing ) put helmet on, long pants, gloves. jacket and abuse it, (big style) , at low speed stamping on the gears. up down through the gear box, waking the throttle wide open as you change gears. if it works ok, then just use it. I know you have tried this but get rough with it, this time. sorry it's all I can suggest. or sell it, but could be, not so nice for who ever buys it.

Thanks Orinoco, had the oil changed and the bike checked over yesterday, also the shop guy said he could not fault the bike so I will just have to accept that I made a mess of changing gear on that occasion ???? One thing for sure now is that when I'm waiting at traffic lights, I make sure I am way to the side and not in front of any other bikes or cars.. paranoid of it happening again ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
