When I took the bike for the first test ride the gears wouldn't disengage when the clutch lever was pulled in. Basically I'd try to stop but the bike would keep rolling under power. I had to find neutral pretty quickly. All it took to fix this was some vigorous pumps of the clutch lever and going through the gear box a few times. Then everything was well. Had me worried at first, but later when speaking with Neil at Cornerspeed he said this was just the gears meshing back into place again and nothing to worry about.
You'll also find the clutch heavier as the MPL pressure plate is a bit thicker than the OEM one, and this is true especially if you fit new springs at the same time. |
Yikes that sounds a bit scary! Is there anyway of getting the gears to mesh back in place without actually riding?
Im going to invest in one of those fancy slave cylinders from MPL which they claim reduce pressure by 30% cos as you know the clutch on these bikes are bad enough, I'll end up with a left forearm like Popeyes!
