Jumping out of first

[Tripps]

Since my bike was new, if and only if, you shifted from neutral to first at a stop, it didn't go in all the way, had a tendency to slip back to neutral, I got used to holding it and double clutching and it was fine.

It took me a long time to notice, but I recently realized that after Carpenter rebuilt my tranny, it never did it again, ever, I wonder if it's the undercut dogs? Just an observation, it's like, wow, cool, LOL>

Mine was like that from new but it got better as the miles went by. Now at a bit over 100,000 km it never does it. It has had the update kit installed which may make a difference but it was a long time ago ........

Its hard saying as Robinsons said they do not cut first gear.! This is when I was discussing Fred's transmission problems. I would guess if Bob uses him he just sends the complete shafts and gears and gets a set back ready to drop in. which is the way to go IMO

I do NOT trust my first gear from a stop. I push for first gear, gently let out the clutch just a little and quickly back in, then push for first again. Then, and only then am I confident it's in gear.

Same problem from new. Then I started to do the double clutch from neutral to first and it has never done it again!

Just gotta get it all the way in...if you know what i'm sayin...lol.
Seriously, if you put it in 1st, ease the clutch while holding the shift lever down, you will feel it engage properly.

Never had this problem. When I pull up to a stop I'm in first gear. on a few occasions have had to move rather quickly to avoid getting rear ended at a stop. Having the bike in gear at a stop beats the hell out of looking for first gear when little miss fluffy is on her or his cell phone.

Rolling to a stop and shifting to first just before it stops (as others have stated ) I have no issue.

Like I said, double clutch and it's fine. The point is, now I don't need to, and every gear, fork, and the output shaft is new, so it's not because it's broken in or worn.

And it never happened downshifting to first as you stopped, only at rest from neutral to first.

Now i get it. Never had that problem either. Mine goes clunk and goes right into gear.
