Hickup in 2nd gear

17 Aug 2010 07:56

Bike is an 82kz1000..when shifting into 2nd gear on occasion i'll get a small hickup after just getting into the gear...but it stays in gear even when you tromp on it...no issues after that...at first a thought it may be a bad shift fork...but wouldn't it pop out under load if that were it?? It only does it under little throttle..almost feels like the chain jumps a tooth but it doesn't appear so...Any thoughts??
