So my Magician is nearing 1,000 miles. It has given me every issue imaginable, expect for the fact the engine seems pretty darn good (so far).
However, since day one I have had a very odd issue in 5th gear. When the bike gets hot 5th gear makes a hissing sound. In my head I imagine things expanding and rubbing in ways they shouldn't
.
As soon as you drop to 4th it goes away, and occasionally it can be difficult to shift down, almost like the lever is not "catching". This can be annoying at a stop light but if I reach my hand down and jiggle the shift lever it almost always shifts down.
So do I have a lemon? A bike still being broken in? Is this sound common? Or do I have some really pissed off snakes stuck in my gearbox.
