Hi guys, ran into a clutch issue today. Was having difficulty getting into 2nd +

Tried the clutch adjustment as per video instructions but I feel like it’s worse now.

would really rather not bring into shop for warranty.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

These clutches are bullet proof, how many miles and how old is the oil? Was oil changed with correct type oil? It's usually the oil condition. Just sayin!

200 km.
I tried the clutch adjustment but possibly fucked it up even though it looks straight forward.

Same oil from when I purchased.

Imho this isn't the smoothiest shifting bike on the market, it takes a while to get used to the process especially if your used to a normal bike. I also thought I had a problem with the shifter at 1st but I just wasn't using the throttle and shifter correctly. Put the bike on its center stand and try shifting it by hand being careful not to knock the bike off the stand, the bike should shift smoothly if not then pursue the other options. Just my advice not an expert

Mine is just now starting to get easier from 1st to second. Changing the oil and adjusting the clutch didn’t help. Bike has around 1100 miles.

I have been riding these "clutch less" bikes and ATC's since 1984. Mine didn't shift well. I did the clutch adjustment 3 times. The first time little change. The second time a little better. The third time made it right.
No clue why it took 3 times.

Mine shifted like crap when new as well. A small adjustment and break in oil change and it's much better now.
