Hi Dorien,
To me, this sounds more like a clutch problem than a transmission
problem - perhaps your clutch input hub is notched? For whatever reason,
it seems like that problem shows up much more pronounced when things get
heated up. Do you know the condition/history of the input hub?

Hi Guys, On my 1967 V7 in the first 1/2 hour of riding the shifting is quiet, smooth and nice. With time it gets clonky in sound and not always smooth. I have 90w oil in the box. Is the case expanding with heat causing the problem? My 61 Falcone uses engine oil in it's box. Nicest shifting bike I have ever had and after 200 miles of hard driving no changes. Any thoughts? V7 |
