Gears won't shift.

No that you mention it, it's mostly up-shift. 90 % of the missing shifts is up.
You think this could be an adjustment issue?

I know on mine. as the years went by, every time it wouldn't up shift nicely was because the clutch needed adjustment. I suspect it wouldn't disengage completely.
It only takes a minute to adjust it from the handle. Easy thing to rule out.

Change the oil, 5w40 is very light, that will definitely change the feel of your clutch. I use 10w40 only because of the cold climate here

Does it ever pop out of gear?

5/40 ? The manual states 10/40 4T oil ,
Others use 15 /40 or even 15/50 depending on outside temp ?
I would expect problems with a 5 weight oil !
Get the correct oil in her , ensure the clutch is adjusted correctly and then see how she shifts . First gear is always clunky anything over bout 5 mph !

Hmm, since Denmark can be a bit cold I thought a 5/40 would be good, especially for the cold starts.
Next time I'll put on 10/40 and see if there are any difference.
1st gear is very clunky, no matter the speed.

Thankks for the reply, I hope a good new oil will help.

Hmm, sounds like a possible solution, I'll try 10/40 and try to adjust the clutch.
It never pops out of gears.

Thanks
