Does anyone out there have s clunky gearbox or seems like there's a fair bit of travel on the lever? I've just sold a 996 and the gearbox was much smoother and slicker. Any thoughts?
Uh Oh, there are a few threads on here regarding 1*98 gearbox woes. I recently had mine rebuilt and super finished. Search the threads and good luck.
They all do that sir. Change your gear lever position a bit first, quick and easy and can solve a lot of clunkyness, and check chain tension, again if its a bit loose it really makes a difference
Mine is absolutely fine and i use it every day. The bike did have a major service before i bought it though, and on the day i picked it up it got stuck in gear so went back in for that to be looked at too. Smoother than my 749 (although i haven't ridden that since getting the 1198s so can't actually remember).
