Why is it difficult to shift gears on a motorcycle?

[EdenRose]

Here are the solutions for difficulty in shifting gears on a motorcycle: First, check if the gear teeth are properly installed. Second, adjust the clutch cable. Third, realign the gear shift lever and apply lubricant. The reasons for difficulty in shifting gears on a motorcycle can be categorized into the following four situations: 1. The motorcycle's clutch is faulty. Methods to check the motorcycle's clutch: ①. Requires forceful pressing; ②. The clutch pedal feels very soft, as if stepping on air, and needs to be pressed repeatedly. 2. For new motorcycles, due to the need for a break-in period between the transmission coupling sleeve and the gear teeth, shifting may feel slightly stiff. 3. For manual transmissions, if the clutch is not fully depressed, the gear on the first shaft of the transmission is rotating at high speed, making it difficult to engage with the internal teeth of the coupling sleeve. 4. Severe wear on the transmission gears or the internal teeth of the coupling sleeve can lead to difficulty in gear engagement during shifting.
