First gear hard to engage
« on: May 13, 2018, 08:12:42 PM »
When I first start my newly acquired CB400F first gear is fine but as soon as the engine warms up...that of course means very soon, first gear becomes such a pig to engage I am soon using second to pull away with, which can't do it any good. Your thoughts?

Clutch out of adjustment  would be my guess.

Clutch adjustment
Improper oil
Warped clutch plates
Bent shift forks
