What Causes Gear Shifting Stiffness in Motorcycles?
1 Answers
Motorcycle gear shifting stiffness can be attributed to the following reasons: Uncoordinated Internal Components: During the break-in period, internal parts have not yet reached a harmonious state. Incorrect Shifting Technique: Improper shifting methods, lack of driving proficiency, incomplete clutch disengagement, or issues with shifting mechanism components such as shift shafts, shift hooks, gears, shift forks, and transmission cams. Transmission Shaft Malfunction: Deformed transmission shafts, ineffective return springs, or faulty positioning wheels on the transmission camshaft. Clutch Operation Errors: Clutch operation should follow the principle of quick disengagement and slow engagement – meaning the clutch should be pulled quickly and released slowly. The engine operating speed should not be too low; normal operating speed is generally maintained between 4,000 to 6,500 RPM.
