Have been noticing lately that the gearchange on my 07 Ulysses seems to be a bit stiffer than usual. Bike has 10k miles up at this stage. Specifically the second to third and third back to second again change requires a good stomp on the lever.
I have mostly ridden jap bikes for the last 20 years so I know the gearbox on the XB is a wee bit more "agricultural", and this is part of the unique character of the bike.
I recently changed the transmission fluid but this has made no difference.
Just wondering if this is a known issue with the uly or am I being paranoid...

Thanks for that. Will have a look at both and adjust to see if it makes any difference...
