ST1100 sometimes gets stuck in 1st gear

(1/2) > >>

Ralphstboy:
G'day,
         I went for a spin out Samford way and on returning home and after parking I couldn't get out of 1st gear, it took ages to free up, anyone had similar??

Cheers Joe.

Brock:
I can say, that it hasnt happened to me, and I have never heard of it happening before.

Is the bike changing the other gears OK?? Is the selector lever moving??

Ralphstboy:
G'day, thanks for your reply, well once it comes out of 1st it will change up and down no worries, the selector lever is not moving, it's tight,  looks like I will have to pull it down and check everything,
I think 2nd gear fork might be bent as it is difficult to get into sometimes, I guess the fork moves more than 2nd gear??

Cheers Joe.

Ralphstboy:
Actually I'm thinking that perhaps a fork is badly worn and can come out of it's groove, possible??

Brock:
I guess it possible, but I dont know how it could happen. My bike has 200,000Ks, and no shift problems.


If you take it apart, take pics so we can see what you find.
