just did the XB9 primary swap and wowsers. I love it. One small problem that im sure I caused while doing the install. I am having a slight issue down shifting. Sometimes but not every time it wont go into the lower gear when I am decelerating and downshifting. Just end up trying it again and most of the time she goes in. any advise? | ||

Make sure your clutch is adjusted correctly...both the cable and the screw thingy on the center of the clutch need to be close to perfect. | ||

Pretty sure I did the clutch right. It's frigging hard to get or maybe I'm missing something. I tried to follow the book I think to a T- I think At one point the clutch lever wouldn't pull at all then too much, I re did it a whole bunch of times On part of the manual says to screw in the adjustment screw till it bottoms and then another part says till it feels resistance | ||

Also verify your primary chain adjustment... | ||

I noticed the hook that holds your cable end would wiggle as I felt some resistance on the clutch screw. As I wiggled the hook the screw went in a little more. I kept screwing it in till the hook wouldn't wiggle anymore. From that point I backed the screw out the minimum amount but then I like to two finger my clutch. The primary chain is real important for good shifting so as the Rat says, be sure you have that right. | ||

I want to say the manual says to set the screw...then work the clutch lever a couple times and re-set the screw, and make adjustments from there. Usually I go till I get resistance (don't crank it), back it off 1/4 turn, then set your lever. | ||

I noticed something today while riding to work and thinking about this thread; downshifting into second gear takes more effort on the toe peg than the other gears when I'm coming to a stop light from 5th gear. First gear is an easy shift and that is a lower gear with a neutral dead spot between. Maybe there is something more to it, or its easier when going from 3rd gear speed into second gear Or I need to adjust my clutch | ||

Well I have a bit of a update to my issue that might help with diagnosis When I downshift to first it goes into gear but I don't fell it go and the foot lever still goes down what feels like a inch a fewf re times before The shifter finally stops in first Does that explanation make sence |
