I searched the forum for shifting problems and found several threads, down- shifting and stuck in gear problems etc. Well all of the sudden after 1500 miles of no problems I have developed a problem with the gear box or shifter.
During up-shifting I noticed that between 2nd and 3rd gear I can't get the gear box to operate correctly. It takes two attempts to "find" the next gear. I feel the lever move to the top of the arc with no engagement, then without releasing the clutch I release the shifter and move the lever again to the top of the arc and feel the transmission engage in the next gear. To make things more difficult it doesn't always happen.
Anyone experience this "Ducati" problem?
Before anyone makes the suggestion that I'm not shifting correctly don't bother it's definitely on the mechanical side of the operation.
