[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1207935, member: 277"] The small number of transmission failures are mixed between Gen I and Gen II. The transmission failures are likely to be influenced by the rider. There has been mention of the transmission not wanting to downshift, especially at a stop where forcing it is a Bad Thing. The clutch should be slightly feathered out, then pulled back in to get it to shift. Some shifting techniques may load the shift drum or riding with a foot resting on the shifter and loading the shift drum. It wouldn't be the first time someone does something crazy/nuts and doesn't even know what they are doing is a bad thing. Even ssllooww shifting is not good. Once a shift fork gets bent or a gear dog starts to round over it is a steady spiral downward. [/QUOTE]
