Cannot go to 1st gear after rotating the clutch lever

[hyperchris]

Hi everyone, this is my first post and unfortunately it is a tech issue

My RC (2017) was bought new and it works pretty well. Today I wanted to rotate the clutch lever downwards a little to fit my hand pose better. So I loosen the level’s screw, rotate the lever a little, and tighten the screw. Then I found I couldn't go to the first gear no matter how I press the gear pedal and whether I hold the clutch or not. I can do upshift to 2,3,4, but I cannot press down from neutral to 1st. Both the lever and the gear pedal feel loose compared with their previous states.

Then I rotated the clutch lever back to its original position, but the issue is still there. Maybe I activated some forbidden black magic… What’s the possible cause and how can I solve it? Thanks a lot!

Roll the bike back or forwards a couple/few inches.

This. Is the issue while you ride or standing still?

Wow this indeed works, thanks! Why does this happen? I also notice that when the bike rides in gear, there is some noise going near the gearbox (no such noise previously). Is it because the clutch plates are not fully combined?

The issue happens when the bike stands still. When I roll it forward it I can go to gears again (according to mattv's suggestion)... When I ride it again there's no such issue anymore. Wired...

Nope. Not weird. Totally normal.

Not totally wierd, but the part about gear box noise.... Does it make noise while you coast in neutral? ( clutch in/out )

It makes noise only when rode in gear (1,2,3..). No noise when coasting in neutral.

What kind of noise. A whining sound? A “thunk” type sound?

It's more like "rustle" type... I just drop the bike at dealership and will let you know if they find any issue

Rustle? That’s. New one for me.
