Sticking in second gear

nopdog · Jun 13, 2017

I have come across a problem with my 2014 commando where it is sticking in second and and third gears. This happens occasionally and the only way to engage the higher gear is to engage clutch, shift down and then up twice to get higher gear. I have Richards manuals (Thank-you) but there is nothing in there and am waiting for the one from Norton to arrive. I can play around with the linkage etc but was wondering if any one else has had this happen.

Thanks
Simon

make sure its not just the gear arm pivot thats binding and needs greasing

Thanks for that. Easy fix and all good.
I know this is OFF TOPIC but how do I let people know where I am in the world.
I'm in Australia, south coast NSW.
I've only had the machine 4 weeks, idle is fixed, oil in air box fixed. Paid the kings ransom to US post for delivery of all the good bits from CNW but it would be good to know if there are more nuts out there in Oz like me.

Thank you and let's keep in touch.

Hoping the recent trip to dealer is the last for a long time.

Find out soon.
