Problems Down shifting
i don't know if this a problem or part of being an old bike but i came to stop at a light pretty sudden and found myself stopped in 5th on a 82 GS650G. but it wouldn't shift down..i had to let out the clutch (heard a kinda click but the bike didn't leap forward or stall) then i could shift to 4, popped the clutch again to 3rd etc down to 1....don't have a problem shifting in motion....
so whats the prognosis..?Tags: None

I wouldn't worry about that. Every bike that I have owned has done this. Coming to a complete in fifth usually requires you to rock the bike back and forth and play with clutch to get it back in first. I don't know the exact reason for this but I know its not a problem. Somebody else in this forum will probably have the physics and science as to what is happening. My suggestion is to not make stops in 5th. Unless you are in danger. :twisted:
