Just got it firing!
So I, of the repeating gear lever issues, encountered another problem today on the way to lunch.
As I downshifted at a stop sign, I thought to myself that the approaching car sounded awful and needed to have its belts looked at. To my dismay, I realized that the awful noise was coming from my 2011 V7R.
I was able to shift out of it at that point, but at the next stop, I heard the same noise and I wasn't able to shift out of 1st for a moment...it eventually worked itself out and I was able to shift back. I should note that the bike was in gear and accelerating, but just making an awful noise and I couldn't shift up for a moment.
After a couple attempts to recreate the issue, all seems normal again.
My question is two-fold...
1. Anyone else experience this issue?
2. Here is a photo of the lever pin/shift lever on my bike. For lack of a better description, it just looks wrong to me. Dirty, for one thing...which seems counter to the fit and finish of the rest of the bike. But also the washer/gasket? looks warped. Am I overreacting here? If possible, I would be obliged if someone would post a picture of theirs so I can compare.
Thanks!
