Hopefully not from the transmission?

I can kick it in gear ok too. But it can mean it is firmer and therefore harder in difficult positions. So I can kick it ok but not as well as when not in gear. Oil was changed, clutch plates and basket in mint condition. Oil changed in the hydraulic line too. Thinner oil put in the gearbox...

Just got a 2011 bike after my 2003 bike got nicked. I was hoping to find that the later bike would kick in gear as easily as it does in neutral, only to learn it has the same frictional resistance as my old bike had, like the clutch is only disengaging the engine about 90%. Is there anything I...

How many versions have steering locks and have gas gas been using the same barrel design throughout the years?

Is it the same as the ec but with different wheels and brakes?

I still have crusty bits stuck to mine so I was told I would have to sort that before any polishing took place
