Sticky shifter

Meloman · 08-12-2018, 08:36 PM

My 2018 RX3’s shifter sticks between shifts, especially on downshifts. Normally between shifts the shift lever springs back to a “ready” position so that you can then shift up or down. Mine stays against the stop unless I tap it with my foot and then it releases and springs back. So every downshift is a two and sometimes three tap affair in order to engage the next gear.
I have 400 miles on the bike and it hasn’t improved. CSC says I may have to pull the clutch basket and check the return spring but I was hoping someone else has experienced this problem and found another fix before I tear into the motor.
