Seriously? I can think of all manner of things it might be, but nothing that might be of any great use to you.

Yup, not the operator being replaced under warranty though. Happens probably every other day, but it's only when under load. I have very limited knowledge of gearboxes, the only thing I can think of is one of the paths on the selector drum being duff.

Well despite your mileage apparently being astronomical in terms of its effect in trade-in value ;), it's really not done that much, and plenty on here have put big miles on various XT motors, so I'd rule out wear.

So either it's not going into gear far enough, or its not being held in gear once it's there. The trouble is that this could be caused by squiffy tolerances on any number of components (including the selector drum paths), most of which are internal to the gearbox.

However if its happening every day, irrespective of what component is causing it, that ought to be a warranty issue.

So it's agreed then; I try to break it before the warranty runs out?

That doesn't include gravity defying latteral impacts....

Done the risk assessment for the Lakes yet mate? ;)

Yep, Diesel is bad, so avoid it.

and in the event that you do ride over it, make sure SelinaXT is behind you.
