The shifting on my 1978 CT90 K9 is not smooth and occasionally it gets stuck in 3d or 2d when downshifting, especially when not rolling. So far (2000 miles ridden since I got the bike running in August), I am always able to get things back to normal by gently turning the throttle until there is a klunk sound and I can shift down and go on. It never seems to happen if I down shift gradually as the bike slows (i.e., always works while the drive is engaged).
I am planning to do an oil change soon, and I plan to take off the clutch cover off and clean the oil spinner and the filter, and I will take photos of the shifting parts. If anyone has an idea of the likely problem or part I should focus on in my examination (or replace, of course), please let me know.
