[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1314874, member: 3828"] I'm in agreement with the others that are saying it is NOT a clutch issue. If you had clutch drag for any reason the rear wheel would keep spinning when you have it up on the center stand, in gear, and pulled in the clutch. So that eliminates all kinds of prior suggestions. Your description of the problem being increased resistance to shift )have to press it harder) also makes it seem like it is NOT a return to center ratchet mechanism issue. You can test what that feels like yourself: Down shift once, but intentionally do not let the lever return to center and then press the sifter down again. What you will (should) feel is the lever pushes to the bottom very easily, with minimum resistance, but doesn't shift down (because it never got back to center). Quite honestly, I do not know what the heck this problem is. The description is of something that is not a common failure mode. [/QUOTE]
