Clutch "sticky" between 4th and 5th gear...
10/17/14 at 12:48:30
 
Noticed sometimes its very sticky from 4th to 5th. Other times its very smooth. It seems to usually be a smooth transition when I am above 60mph. Am I just short-shifting sometimes, or does this sound more like a clutch issue?

Mine's always done the same. Sometimes has a little catch where it doesn't go into 5th (I think they call it a 'false gear'?).

I think its inherent on these bikes and I'm sure the veterans will chime in and give you some additional thoughts.

No issue,.. no worries...
Make sure your foot lever is adjusted right for you... (4 to 5 is the tallest shift)...

Not anything to worry about though... Wink..
