Hi guys,
I'm having problems with my 20 hours old FE570. It has a Rekluse EXP 2.0 which was installed by the dealer in New Zealand. About an hour into my ride on Saturday the bike dissengaged out of gear, then I engaged it again and it dissengaged shortly after and refused to engage in any gear but first. When I click up on the shift lever as if changing through 2nd, 3rd etc to 6th, the engine just revs but the gears are not engaging. Once I click down through the gears again back to first, first gear engages as normal.
Today I spent the entire day trying to learn how it all works and whats going wrong. I spent a while on the phone with the Rekluse guys in the states and the dealer in NZ and after watching the videos on the rekluse website I now have a reasonable understanding of how the rekluse works, how the clutch stack fits together and how the gear shift shaft and lever actuates the shift drum. Together with my diesel mechanic (who has never worked on bikes before) we took off the outer clutch cover and water pump and removed the clutch altogether after taking it apart, inspecting and reassembling. We also removed the gear shift lever and the shaft with the spring loaded sliding plate which locks onto the shift drum. We cleaned the shift parts in the hope that the spring loaded slide was failing to engage and causing the problem. Unfortunatly after reassembling everything and refilling with oil and coolant the problem is still there. Has anyone else experienced something similar and can point me in the right direction? First step for tomorrow morning (admittedly I probably should have done this today) is to pull the clutch cover off and remove the rekluse and replace with the stock clutch components to see if this alters the situation.
I'm devestated at this point that my 2 month old bike is on the fritz so any advice would be appreciated.
