Crunchy Gear Change

[Sawyer]

Hi Guys

I've got a 9sx and I’m thinking about changing the clutch. The problem I have is that it feels very crunchy and unsmooth when changing between the lower gears (mainly 1st to 2nd), has anyone else had the same problem.

I have heard that you can get a soft clutch kit but don’t know anyone who has one or if they're any good, I just want a smoother action, at the moment it feels like I'm doing damage to the gears.

Any tips are appreciated
Thanks - Andy

Have you checked to ensure that the clutch is adjusted correctly and is releasing all the way?

It’s a constant mesh system so; all that hard shifting noise is peaty normal, especially for an HD. No worries Its going to be an even louder pop in the morning or when the bike has been sitting since the oil is thicker.[up] But if you want o feel better just shift with speeds more appropriate to the gear your going into.
