Keep meaning to post about this,
My wee xv250 is possibly having some gearbox woes and I wonder if anyone will recognise it as being symptomatic of anything...
When I'm accelerating and shifting up its as though the gear doesn't change or doesn't engage at first.
It's not graunchy or hitting a false neutral or anything, more like the revs will go back up to where they were in the previous gear, then if I roll off and back on the throttle they'll be lower, like its clicked into the new gear. I don't think there's much a klunk of it dropping into gear or anything.
I tried holding the gear lever up as I roll back on the throttle but didn't seem to make any/much difference. Being a bit slower getting back on it after the gear change seems to sort it out but where's the fun in that!
I did wonder if I'd maybe put too much oil in when I changed it recently, I keep forgetting to take some out.
