Took it to the dealer because suddenly it would not downshift into first unless you were almost at a complete stop.
They found evidence of where the 1st gear dog was trying to engage but was hiting the gear. They also found a spring sitting in the bottom of the pan. They are not sure where it came from.
Besides the spring, they also found that if you grasp the gears on the output shaft and twist, there is some play.
While I was there looking at the disassembled motor I noticed the main bearings seem to have noticable wear. The bike only has 8200 miles and this is the 2nd time the motor is apart.
The first time was to replace the head gasket due to a leak at the right rear.
Anyone else having these type issues or am I the only one having such wonderful luck?
