upshifting from 1st to 2nd gear, very abrupt
Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:01 am
Hello,,
I have a 1975 R60/6. I am having an issue where when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, after releasing the clutch, the engagement makes a loud clunk and and jerks the motorcycle forward violently? I have tried both higher RPM's 4000 to 4500 and lower 2000 to 2500, prior to shifting and no affect trying to smooth out the engagement. The only thing that smooths this out is to delay engagement of the clutch by a couple of seconds. This is also happening when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, occasionally, but not as consistent as 1st to 2nd gear. I recently had the gearbox rebuilt by a reputable BMW shop too, and prior to this the engagement was not this abrupt.
Any advise is appreciated.
