[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 144623, member: 597"] It is possible on some engines, that pending certain clutch adjustments and so on, that the G91 lever can foul the G66 AS lever on the downshift, thus stopping the G 66 from lifting upward for the changing down of gears.........It is merely a matter of altering the clutch adjuster ET27/1AS on the kick start cover, then adjusting the cable adjuster again to gain the proper free play in the handlebar lever........for a stock clutch this amount is usually quite a lot given the mechanism is only lifting one plate.........The 2 E 80 nuts on the battery tray should be done up quite firmly against the G 50 alloy plate so that when the footrest hanger nuts are fully tightened, the G 50 plate does not pull inward at all........the assembly should not be a simple slide in fit, as this will not put enough outward pressure on the G50 plate. This problem usually causes the shift lever assembly to be stiff in its action, but does not usually stop the mechanism from down shifting as you describe. [/QUOTE]
