Recently picked up a 1999 xl883. I haven't started digging into the issue yet or making any adjustments, or even adjusted the clutch, have only given it a short test ride down the block. Wanted to get some insight before I start into it, as transmissions aren't my strong suit.
Here's what I noticed: When you click down into first and then start to give it gas and let the clutch out it moves forward and seems as though everything as normal, then just a second later you hear/feel what seems to be like it really getting into gear. At first I thought I left the kickstand out and thought I heard it come to a slam against the stop but that is not the case. It runs good. Doesn't seem to be an issue in any other gear, only while clicking down to just starting out in first.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
