Hi Petemass
Hi
Yes I have the same trouble, CLUNK when putting in 1st, then stiff lever lift going up 2nd 3rd ok after 3rd,,
Going down the box as you describe,
Blip the throttle, Or downshifts will be hard, they do'nt tell u this when u buy the bike or mention it in the jurno test rides, or even in the bikes manual,
How long would it be acceptable to put up with this before the downshift is smooth, or it is ok for the bike to be returned to the dealer for check or replacement,
Do not have this problem when i bought my new cars past and present,
I have come to the lovely FZ from 10 years riding 3 different Buells, which got slated for there agricultural gearbox, i chose the Buell box over the FZ
My FZ is 2011 with 300mls on the clock, hope the changes get smoother, if not what mileage do i reject the bike or ask for a new g/box, if it does not,
No mention of a lighter crank than the FZ1 so i may have to put up with a cranky gearbox when i bought it,
Fingers crossed for a long friendship with my FZ8
