I've been struggling on a 2005 KLE500 with downshifting. (Project bike, I've not ridden it more than 5km yet)
All linkages working fine and nice and tight. Gear change lever moving freely.
I sometimes have to downshift up to 3 times before I get it into a lower gear.
From 3rd gear down, It is almost impossible to find a gear.
When up shifting, it feels like a Honda gearbox. (which is a very good thing, LOL)
So I'm planning to open up that cover at the sprocket to see what is going on. Maybe a broken spring or bent shaft or something.
Anything else I need to look at? Any known issues?
thanks
