I have a similar problem once in a while, when the bike gets warmed up good, and while just easy riding and tooling around the block for a bit. I will attempt to ease up to a stop sign and coast in, and at the last few yards shift down to second gear until I'm ready to make my turn. Then I go down to first as I am just stopped. But once in a while I get to the stop sign on top of the hill and it won't down shift at all. Like stuck in 3rd or 4th gear. At that point If I stop and just kill it, I can push off the hill and restart in 4th gear, but after that it starts working again. My bike only has about 160 miles on it, so it's probably not near broken in, but I never considered "clutch drag" or adjusting it until I read this post. Since it only happens once in a while, and only when its warmed up good, should I give the clutch on mine a look see? Or any other suggestions???
