Ktm duke 125 really weird shifting problem HELP!

#1 Unread post by Joelblank »

Hello, yesterday when i was out riding i noticed something really weird and rather scary, when i downshift my bike jumps down 2 gears instead of one, so it goes from 6th to 4th, and from 3th gear to neutral or to first gear!!!

This is very worrying and i honestly have no clue why its happening, have checked gear linkage and everything is tight and good.
Any help would be appricated :frusty:

Hi Joel, the symptoms sound like a bad transmission. Please adjust the clutch free play and check the engine oil level. Excessive engine oil could also lead to a bad gear-shifting experience. If you have top-up excess oil in the engine, please drain it or suck it with a syringe. This will fix hard gear shifting.
