Honda Unicorn gear shifting problem - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Hi,

Two months back, I bought a new Honda unicorn. Since then I've been having issues with gears. While shifting the gear, it feels like the gear is stuck between two location. by adjusting the clutch, it falls in to proper location. After first free servicing the shifitng gear up became smooth, but still problem remains when gears are shifted down. This problem becomes more annoying, specially at slow speed, or if the bike stopped suddenly. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem. Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.....

Yes... I do get that sometimes... It feels like the gear is stuck between two locations... and even if I leave the clutch the bike doesn’t stop… It seems as if there’s neutral gear between each shift… LOL
This just happens when I try to change the gears lightly (as in with minimal effort… just a halka touch)

i guess your using heel to change gears, try toe shifting which will reduce such false neutral.
