i have an yamaha gladiator type ss,which i had purchased 20 months back.and i have clocked around 11K kms.
It has ridden only by me,and i had taken enough care in running-in period of the bike,and have never ripped off my bike,except on highways..i use the right grade of oil.and even lubricate the chain at the service center only..and my bike has not been touched by any other mechanic.
i have been facing gear related issues like
1>mis shifts and false neutrals while shifting down from 2nd to 1st gear,and vice versa
2>when i used to release clutch from rest,in the 1st gear,it wont used to move,and a sound like khatttt used to come,and it used to then start moving..
facing the above issues since the first service,and yamaha ppl had sent me off at that tym sayin that as its a new bike,it would take time to wear and get smooth..and thereafter they have been saying they would resolve and repair it,but haven done so yet.
and now,the matters have worsened,when i release clutch,in 1st and 2nd gear,the bike vibrates,it has lost its pick up..
vibrations come from the chain,rear i guess..and the khatt sound comes from the front on releasing the clutch..
these problems are now getting on my nerves,as the pleasure of riding has greatly diminished..
waiting for your expert advice and help.
thanking you,
aniruddh
