    Issues downshifting with 2012 Gen I model Super Tenere

    Maybe so, but I don't understand how it only has issues in certain gears, which is really making me scratch my head at the moment

    Hello, I'm new and working on an old tenere 1200

    My main question at the moment is: if I know the shift lever pivot is properly lubed and cleaned, and I am having a shifting problem on specific gears(which causes me to have to put more force on the lever than normal to make the gear shift) what is the most likely problem? Is it likely that one...

    I cleaned it all very well before I lubed it, so I know there's no dirt or grime.

    Issues downshifting with 2012 Gen I model Super Tenere

    Lubed the shift lever pivot, still no dice on the shifting into and out of second gear issue. Do you guys think that I could have a messed up gear that needs to be replaced?
