Sloppy shifter-99rsv

[SARNA66]

I know i gotta have a skydoc clutch this winter- could this make my shifter seem sloppy also??

 

Sometimes i have to work at getting back to first. and occasionally I shift up but nothing happens and I have to try again.

 

I would be having alot more fun if my clutch did not slip-I have to ride very conservative after 2nd gear or the rpms will run away.

You may want to lube the linkage. There are several joints in the mechanical line between the shifter and the transmission. Put a dab of bearing grease (after cleaning them up) should help.

+1 on checking the linkage. I had to replace a bolt on the rod at the rear shift lever. It had been replaced with the wrong one and was worn out making everything sloppy. Since you said that you did a clutch upgrade, I would go back in and make sure that everything is assembled correctly. With the upgrade you souldn't have any slippage. While your in the clutch you might want to check the shift segment behind the clutch basket. Yours should be one piece but the pins could be worn. I also had to do this repair. Here is a link to show you what I'm talking about.
