I am having a bit of a problem shifting gears.

It goes up and down the transmission OK with the engine not running, but takes some force on the lever and some high revs to get it to shift with the motor running, especialy 1st to second.

I have checked the clutch for adjustment and oil level and that seems OK.

I have had similar things on other bikes after a lay up or rebuild and the box starts stiff but soon gets slick after the motor has run abit, but this feels much harder and the gears engage with a bang.

This bike has been stood for quite some time prior to me buying it, so I dont know how it was before it was put into storage.

Do you think it will get better with some use, or does the transmission need pulling out for inspection. Cant think why it would be so different with the engine running, and slick with it off.
