Hi all,
I have an XS400 Special and I’m experiencing false neutrals on almost every ride, it finds them whilst I’m already in gear and suddenly drops into a neutral. Also often get an unwanted jump from 4th down to 3rd. It can be challenging at times to drop through the gears to 1st when approaching lights.
I have read many posts on here and other forums and have since adjusted to shift pawl. I’m looking for any opinions on whether the shift spring could be causing this? I have ordered one anyway.
I’m hoping to find someone that may have had a similar experience and that could give me some guidance.
How does a gear change feel on your bike? Mine is less than convincing and I barely know that I’ve made a change.
Thanks for any input in advance.
