[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 44934, member: 597"] I had a similar issue with one in an early Rapide a couple of months ago, to which the owner was blaming the shifter mechanism.....I managed to get the clutch working much better, but noticed the assembly wobbling like a swash plate this with the machine on it's rear stand and spinning the back wheel whilst in top gear. All while holding the clutch lever in......turns out that the gearbox mainshaft is bent.....so no matter how you try the clutch will always drag until the shaft is renewed........Greg. [/QUOTE]
