Something strange happened today. When downshifting to first gear, I hear this strong grinding sound and pulsing from the gear lever. This only happened when downshifting to first. Any ideas?

Can you repeat it?

I could repeat it on that ride. I'm gonna try again on my way back.

Sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging.

Have you checked your clutch cable for proper adjustment?

 

[denizerdem]

I tried to replicate the problem but nothing so far. Maybe the cluth failed to engage that time for some reason. I don't know, but so far it seems fine.
Thank you.

I had the same on my bike but it only happened when I upshifted clutchless under high acceleration with a throttle blip between shifts. When I then down shifted with the clutch, I got gears grinding or false neutrals. I won't be doing that again.

If you get a false neutral, between 4 and 5 for example, it's always going to grind or clunk when you hit the shift again.

Why would you blip on clutchless upshifts??

Exactly, me thinks there lies the problem. Unless of-course by blipping he means just closing and quicly opening in order to upshift. Opposed to actually trying to add a blip to the process.
In my experience missed gear changes are much less likely while doing clutchless as it's way more positive, if done correctly.

That's what I meant.

Thought so.
