I did a search on google and on this forum before posting but wasn't able to find anything.
I've been riding for 12 years now and just this morning experienced something that I have never experienced before. I was getting on the interstate on my way to work and was in 2nd gear when I decided to give her a little gas. Everything was fine and normal but then when I went to shift up clutchless (something I have been doing for 11 years on every bike I've owned) it was like the shifter had suddenly loosened up on the shaft and it was able to move up a lot more than it is supposed to. It still got into 3rd gear fine and I kept on it and shifted up to 4th clutchless again and I really noticed that extra vertical travel this time.
It never came out of gear. There was no grinding. No hiccuping. Bike feels completely fine otherwise. When I got off at my exit for work, I tried shifting up gently with the clutch while only accelerating slowly. Shifting up felt fine. I could feel it stopping where it is supposed to like it always has. As soon as I tried to shift up under brisker acceleration, even with the clutch, I could feel that extra travel again.
Even still, there was no gear grinding. No popping out of gear. No loss of power. No problems of any kind...other than there being too much travel when I shift up under load. It is a 2010 10R. ~5700 miles. Oil change within the last 2000 miles.
Help!
