Stiff 2nd gear, hard to shift into 2nd

This is mainly for new/first time owners or those with little or no mechanical experience.
Problem:
Shifting into 2nd gear can be stiff or miss altogether sometimes. I started having that issue and I thought I'd post what worked for me.
Solution:
I started by turning my clutch lever adjuster (see image below) out a few turns and that solved the problem entirely, but the clutch was feather light, so I turned it back in by quarter turns until I had enough play in the lever and the shifting action into second was still smooth.
If this doesn't work for you then you might need to make an adjustment at the other end of the cable. It's the same principal. Loosen the locking nut, adjust, and then fine tune at the lever. Now breathe a sigh of relief...you probably don't need a new push rod and almost certainly don't need a new clutch pack. I hope this helps someone.

Chzeck,
This is a good posting.
Too often after a rider gets a problem fixed they disappear without comment.
